Paderborn Hostels

Paderborn is a city in the North Rhine-Westphalia region and the first city in this region to have its own university.

The city is divided into seven boroughs. If you are looking for a hostel in Paderborn, the best location would be Innenstadt which is the geographical heart of the city and contains the historic city center and most of the major attractions. Innenstadt is surrounded by the six other boroughs Benhausen, Dahl, Elsen, Marienloh, Neuenbeken, Schloß Neuhaus/Sande and Wewer. If you are on a budget, it might be better to look for a Paderborn hostel in one of these other areas since Innenstadt is the most expensive part of the city.

Paderborn is served by Paderborn Airport which can easily be reached by train. Getting around from your Paderborn hostel is not a problem since there is a comprehensive public transport system in place. You might even consider to take a bike since Paderborn is a very bike-friendly environment. The city is quite flat and there are special lanes reserved for bikes. However, in the old city center, the best way of getting around is to walk.

While you are visiting a Paderborn hostel, walk through the old city center and admire the historic architecture, especially the numerous baroque churches which dominate the city. Visit the Heinz Nixdorf Museum which is the largest museum of computers and communication technology in the world. You should also see an exhibition at one of the numerous other museums, such as the Städtische Galerie am Abdinghof, the City Museum (Stadtmuseum im Adam-und-Eva-Haus), or the Wewelsburg.
