Lübeck

A unique port city with the largest German historical center protected by UNESCO. In the Altstadt of Lübeck, 80 carefully restored alleys (gang) and courtyards (hof) with charming houses are open to tourists. Around every corner, there are stunning backdrops perfect for romantic photo shoots. Take time for a walking tour along the river around the Old Town or count the famous seven towers and numerous bridges from the deck of a cruise boat.

Make a wish under the impressive Holsten Gate, appreciate the sturdiness of the Salt Warehouses, and the grace of the magnificent Town Hall. Admire the majestic Gothic towers of St. Mary's Church, peek into Lübeck's main cathedral, and enjoy a show at the Puppet Theater.

Catch your breath in the Botanical Garden, Stadtpark, or on a flower-filled square with a view of the facade of one of Europe's oldest hospitals – the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. At the Seafarer's Guild House, you'll learn about the maritime heritage of this thriving Hanseatic city. The best souvenir from Lübeck is marzipan from Niederegger Café. Conclude your visit to Lübeck on the sandy Baltic beach of Travemünde.
