What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Museum Holstentor, Holstentorplatz, 23552 Lübeck, Germany
We will begin our adventurous walk at the famous Holsten Gate, the world-famous symbol of hanseatic self-assurance which was the motif on the German banknote of 50 Marks until a redesign following German reunification in 1990.
We continue to the Salt storehouses, six historic brick buildings from the 16th–18th century, past the former industrial heart of the city, the Port of Lübeck. Our next point of interest is the famous traditional hanseatic Town Hall. It was built in the 13th century in the market square of the old town, and it's dark brick construction makes for a stark contrast with the surrounding red-brick building.
Next we visit St. Mary's Church, a fine brick gothic building, the third largest church in Germany. This Lutheran church full of art and atmosphere, with a very beautiful Chapel of Memory was constructed between 1250 and 1350. Outside St Mary Church, you can take a picture with the little devil, while our guide will tell you his funny story.
We will end our tour with a stroll through the famous streets and the decorated houses at Buddenbrook House, dedicated to the two writers Heinrich and Thomas Mann, and the “Buddenbrooks”.
Duration: 2 hours

Christel is wonderful! We absolutely loved the tour, learning and seeing many things that we doubt we would've been gotten from anyone but a local such as herself. And you must give yourself at least two days to explore the island if you can; a two-hour tour only just begins your exploration of all the history and charm that Lübeck has to offer. And of course, make sure to have Christel as your guide when you begin your visit! <3R8310AVstephaniew

We fully enjoyed her tour and we highly recommend her. Lubeck is a beautiful historic town with many attractive small shops. The museums and clock towers are worth all the travel.

Lübeck ist eine schöne Stadt. Was sehr interessant eine Schiff Rundfahrt. Und auch ein Bummelzug durch die Altstadt lohnt sich. Das Buddenbrooks Haus,Das Rathaus,Die Marzipan Museum. Lohnt sich auch.
