About Lubeck

Once the leading light of the Hanseatic League, Lübeck has had to settle for a less prominent position in modern Germany. However the fruits of such historic significance are born out in the city's stunning architecture. Distinctive and impressive, Lübeck is a UNESCO World Heritage Site as a result of its extensive brick Gothic architecture. The city is also famous for its marzipan and claims to be the first place to produce the sweet treat. The city has countless hotels, but the best places to stay in Lübeck tend to celebrate the town's formidable architectural heritage, and many are located in its historic centre.

Things not to miss:

  • Arguably one of Germany's most iconic buildings, it would be hard to visit Lübeck without taking in the breathtaking sight of Holstentor.
  • Museumsquartier St Annen is a fascinating place to explore and gives an insight into 700 years of history, art and culture in Lübeck.
  • For anyone interested in the Hanseatic League, visiting the Europäisches Hansemuseum is a must to get a handle on one of Europe's most powerful trading alliances.
  • There's stunning Gothic architecture all over Lübeck and some of the finest examples of this stand in the form of churches. Marienkirche boasts the world's highest brick-vaulted roof.
  • Also worth having a look at is the city's 12th century Cathedral.
  • For a slightly kooky museum experience, visit the Theater Figuren Museum, a place dedicated to puppets.

Lübeck is really best explored by foot and at every turn there's things that catch the eye. The best places to stay in Lübeck also tend to be eye-catching spots.
