When you travel in Northern Germany you should not miss to visit Lübeck: Great architecture and nice little alleyways and lots of places to see e.g. Marienkirche, Heiligengeist-Hospital and last but not least Cafe Niederegger.

What a marvelous old center! Now I know why it is on Unesco list. Every street, every corner, always have some detail that surprises us. We can see in fact very old building, yet, well maintained. Be prepare to climb some streets if you to see them all.

What Venice and Genova were in the late middle ages as commercial metropoles in the Italian speaking world that at the time dominated the mediterranean world, that was Lübeck and the Hanseatic League for the baltic sea, and it shows. Most of this once dominating old town on an island survived WW II undestroyed and has been very caringly reconstructed... More

Most German cities are pretty ugly and this is no exception. A small load of old buildings laced with concrete. Rubbish!!!

German has really nice cities and Luebeck is kind, simple and organized. I was there in December and they had a good Christima's market, nice place to meet people and eat some stuff. The commercial center is quite good also, with department stores, drugstores etc.. Worth a visit.

Lubeck is about 40 minutes in train from HAMBURG. Is a small village that combines old architecture with modern life. I went fir a short trip that lasted half a day, because all the atractions ( churches, rathouse, toers,etc) are really near you even can make the tour walking. I recommend to visit this place to have a better taste... More

We were on a cruise, docked at Kiel port, and decided to spend our day in Lubeck, after having a simply beautiful day the day before in Warnemunde and spending a day in lovely Schwerin. Firstly, there was a long, long walk to the station from the port, and we almost didn't make our train. Lubeck is situated about 1.5... More

This tea shop sells own tea, teapots, treats, etc. They have around 30 kinds of own tea. You can smell them before buying any. I bought some and my friend living near Luebeck (she did not know this store!) bought some. They are so wonderful as to taste and fragrance. It would shock you once you find how German can... More
