General presentation
Lübeck
Hanseatic city of bricks, canals, medieval gates, marzipan and easy access to the Baltic.
Holstentor, Altstadt Lübeck and St. Mary's Church of Lübeck give the most telling landmarks of Lübeck. Together, they form a destination where urban life, riverscapes, heritage and coastline meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: marine meteoro and pave center. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Ratzebourg
Ratzebourg is almost surrounded by lakes, giving its center a rare island atmosphere in Schleswig-Holstein. The brick cathedral, quiet shores and small boat crossings make up a gentle excursion from Lübeck, very pleasant when the sky lights water between two showers.
Remarkable location
Bad Segeberg
Bad Segeberg combines thermal city, gypsum cliffs and popular memory related to the outdoor shows dedicated to Karl May. The relief around the Kalkberg distinguishes the town from the nearby plains: short paths, caves and views of the roofs give the subject a rather varied stop from Lübeck.
Remarkable location
Mölln
Mölln, the town of Till l'Espiègle, mixes brick alleys, lakes and Hanseatic memories in a more intimate setting than Lübeck. The walks pass easily from the old centre to the wooded banks, with an atmosphere of small town in the north of Germany where water always stays close.
Place
Holstentor
The Holstentor marks the most famous entrance to Lübeck, with its bent towers and its immediately recognizable brick silhouette. The monument tells of the Hanseatic power of the city, while serving as a natural threshold to the ancient streets and neighbouring docks.
