SUGGESTED DAYTRIP:
The market place is only a five to ten minute walk from the hostel.
There you will actually find the largest "Beatles'" museum on the planet. Entry costs just 5€ and you will feel as if you are living through the Beatles era, whether you are chatting with fans or watching video footage of bygone days.
Just a thirty minute tram ride away from the Market Square is Halle-Beesen, an enormous indoor swimming complex, complete with a 440 metre long waterslide, wave machine, rapids and underwater music all presented with Mexican flair.
To cap off your day head to "Easy Schorre", a gigantic night club to dance the night away into the small hours.
