Osnabrück lies at a privileged position in Lower Saxony, with access to both the cities of Lower Saxony and the illustrious cities of the Westphalia region. The city has a diverse variety of attractions, ranging from museums, to well-preserved periodic architecture.
Osnabrück is blessed with a wealth of olde-worlde architecture, but it also enjoys a good injection of the modern; the jagged lines and architectural juxtapositions of the Felix Nussbaum Museum stand happily alongside the historic Town Hall and the Baroque Palace. Hiring a car from Osnabrück also gives you access to the Lower Saxony countryside.
Visitors to Osnabrück will be taken back in time by the quaint Romanesque architecture of the Old Town. The Town-Hall, St Peter's Cathedral and the Ledenhof provide a wonderful backdrop for your holiday. For a true taste of the avant-garde, the Felix Nussbaum Museum is excellent for art lovers.
By hiring a car in Osnabrück, you can make the short journey to Osnabrück Zoo on the B68. The Teutoburg Forest is over an hour away and Bielefeld is less than an hour away on the A33; and Münster Cathedral is highly recommended (a short journey on the A1). Some visitors who rent a car in Osnabrück will be tempted towards Lower Saxony and towns like Oldenburg, but others will prefer Westphalia.
