    GERMANY'S 10 MOST IMPRESSIVE BOULEVARDS

    Value is relative

    The names of some of Germany's boulevards reveal how old they are. In the Middle Ages, salt was so valuable that it was worth the trouble to transport it long distances. The first recorded mention of Salzstrasse (Salt Street) in Münster was in the 14th century. Today it's a 500-meter shopping boulevard in the city's Old Town, surrounded by landmarks like the late Gothic Lamberti Church.
