A scenic 75-minute escorted motorcoach drive from Hamburg's port sets the stage for a remarkable exploration of medieval Lübeck — a city steeped in heritage.
A local guide leads you on a walking tour to view the iconic Holsten Gate, an esteemed symbol and defensive bastion. Admire its Gothic architecture; then, cross the River Trave, historically linking local merchants with Baltic Sea trade cities.
Discover Fischergrube Street and the ageless Holy Ghost Hospital, showcasing remarkable 14th-century frescoes and Gothic altars.
Delve into the maritime legacy of St Jacob's Church and the esteemed Schiffergesellschaft Seamen's Guild building adorned with Rococo accents.
St Marien, Germany's third-largest church, boasts a vast art collection and the world's largest mechanical organ. Touching Rosemary, the legendary stone church mouse, is said to bring good luck.
Relish a delightful interlude at Brewery Brauberger, savoring traditional amber brew and a salted pretzel.
Explore Lübeck's magnificent Town Hall, a fusion of glazed brick and Renaissance architecture, perfect for memorable photos.
Conclude your tour with a sweet visit to the Niederegger Café, renowned since 1806 for its exquisite marzipan. Take your time to discover delightful marzipan creations and indulge in marzipan coffees and liqueurs at this renowned café and museum (at your own expense).
Relax during the escorted return journey to Hamburg, cherishing the treasures you discovered in Lübeck.
