Add a touch of adventure to your stay in Hamburg by visiting the charismatic Lübeck. Explore the charming allays of Lübeck’s Old Town to get a feeling of what urban life was like hundreds of years ago. Admire the abundance of unique red brick buildings and see UNESCO-listed landmarks.

The walking tour of Lübeck will begin at the Holsten Gate. This unique Brick Gothic construction is one of the two still standing relics of the city’s medieval fortifications, characterized by two-round towers and arched entrance. Apart from being an architectural masterpiece, the gate is a home to the city’s history museum. In the Holstentor Museum, you will see antique ship models, suits of armor, weapons and other artifacts related to commerce, power, and wealth.

As you enter the Old Town and head towards the St Peter’s Church, you will see Salzspeicher, a row of riverside salt warehouses from the 16th-18th centuries. Walking through the narrow medieval streets, you will quickly get a feeling as if you’re lost in time. Next on the sightseeing list will be the majestic 13th century Lübeck Cathedral, followed by the charming St Aegidien Church. You will then walk towards the most stunning market square where you’ll be able to spot the authentic City Hall.

Your Local Expert-Guide will then take you to the elegant Gothic Church of St Mary. Inside, you will be astonished by the gravity-defying high ceiling, a spectacular wall clock and a bell that fell from the tower,  hit the floor and was left there for everyone to admire. You will then stroll towards the St Catherine’s Church and the St Jacob Church. Both represent yet another fantastic example of medieval brick design.

The tour will pass by the precursor of modern hospitals, the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, and head towards the city’s harbor with more than 20 historic ships on display. The last stop will be the Drehbrücke bridge. Before heading back to Hamburg, your mind will be blown away with fascinating stories about Lübeck’s traders, marchants, and commerce.
