Insider Tips

Highlights and activities in Lübeck and surroundings

Make sure to plan in enough time for a tour of Lübeck's old town during your stay in the city. Culture and literature lovers will fall in love with this town as well as history and art enthusiasts. A guided tour takes you through small and crooked alleys to beautiful backyards off the beaten track. Of course, the tour also includes Lübeck's 7 church towers, several museums and a taste of Lübeck's culinary specialities.

An especially popular day-trip destination is the beautiful town of Travemünde. It is best reached by boat via the river Trave. All around the year, but during the warm summer months in particular, we highly recommend an excursion to the Baltic Sea. Relax at one of the marvellous beaches and explore the surounding fishing villages.
