Hanseatic city of Lübeck

The development of the Hanseatic League

Lübeck has always been unique. In the Middle Ages, Lübeck was founded as a principal city within the Hanseatic League from an alliance of merchants' associations and towns about 700 years ago. Fast-forward to the present, the city of Lübeck is now celebrating its 875th birthday.

A stroll through the Holsten Gate leads into the beautiful old town, through alleys and passages, past the Buddenbrookhaus, the historic town hall and many buildings worth seeing such as the St. Mary's Church with its huge astronomical clock and the Lübeck Cathedral, masterpiece of North German brick Gothic architecture dating from 1173.

    SPEICHERSTADT: The Alster meanders through the historic Hanseatic city and numerous canals - called fleets - criss-cross the city. You can sail them on small launches, feel a little like you're in Venice or Amsterdam and explore the prominent Speicherstadt district. The heart of old Hamburg beats on the historic Nikolaifleet and in Deichstraße. Here, representative facades adorn the gabled houses from the 17th century. They were the offices, warehouses and homes of the wealthy patricians.

    HAMBURG PORT: The huge port of Hamburg is Hamburg's gateway to the world. The shimmering Elbphilharmonie concert hall is a new landmark of the Hanseatic city. The "Michel", the town hall with its magnificent façade and the landing stages in St. Pauli are other famous attractions. At the Jungfernstieg, shopping and looking around is a must.

More than 125 attractions on many themes from all over the world offer adventure and incomparable experiences.

Whether on safaris in Africa, a ranch in the Wild West, in Viking country or at a fun fair - all age groups will get their money's worth here.

    EAST SEA COAST TRAVEMÜNDE: Or alternatively to the seaside resort of Travemünde and Timmendorfer Strand. They are popular seaside resorts with fine sandy beaches, long promenades and a tranquil fishing village flair not far from Lübeck. The Travemünde lighthouse is the oldest in Germany and climbing it is worthwhile not only for this reason - the view of the surrounding area and the sea is magnificent.
