Lübeck: Hotels and accommodations

Lübeck’s medieval Old Town, surrounded by water, has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1987. Protected brick architecture, medieval alleyways, as well as historic residential paths and courtyards shape the cityscape and make its history immediately tangible on a walking tour.

The Holsten Gate houses the exhibition „The Power of Trade“. It explores the Hanseatic League, trade, seafaring, the history of the gate, and its armament. A city model also shows Lübeck’s historic, brick-built structure.
