Lübeck Guide

Lübeck is an exciting cultural and commercial city with a rich history and many offers for guests.

The city can be visited on a day, for a Christmas market, on day trips or if you are in transit. However, Lübeck is also perfect for a visit, for example a weekend trip, where you can take a closer look at the city’s history, the many good restaurants, the good shopping opportunities, the cozy cafes or enjoy a walk through the old medieval town.

Despite its size of 215,000 inhabitants, Lübeck is both large and small at the same time. Great because there is so much variety to see; five large churches, ten distinctive museums, hundreds of shops and eateries. But also small, the town is relaxed and quiet, built on a manageable island and easy to find around.

Lübeck is uniquely beautiful. In 1987, UNESCO listed the city on the World Heritage List and the city presents itself beautifully to the many guests.

The city is very well maintained and as a particularly important part of the international cultural heritage, the city shows itself from its best sides. The city has a tradition of great patrons – for example, the large local Possehl Foundation which has supported extensive restorations of churches, town houses and architecturally exciting new buildings. It has made it possible to preserve the city’s special charm and distinctiveness for posterity.
