Hanseatic City of Lübeck UNESCO World Heritage Site
Journey by coach to Lübeck -- a city of such tremendous historical importance that it has earned a UNESCO World Heritage site designation.
Explore the medieval ambience of the Old Town with its well-known Holsten Gate -- a landmark of the city and one of the few relics of the original fortress. Old patrician houses and redbrick churches, the Gothic City Hall and the Heiligen Geist Hospital are important landmarks.
Your guide points out Buddenbrook House -- home of the famous writers Heinrich and Thomas Mann.
Visit the Niederegger Café for a cup of coffee and Niederegger's popular marzipan gateau.
Enjoy some free time to explore the shops in Lübeck on your own before returning to the ship.
Please note: Tour requires walking about two miles over mostly even surfaces and some cobblestones. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tour operates rain or shine, but may be cancelled by the operator in the event of extremely bad weather or unsuitable conditions. Bring euros (€), as most shops do not accept US currency or credit cards for small purchases. Use of public restroom facilities costs 50 cents - €1 cash. Shops are closed on Sundays and bank holidays; a few souvenir shops may be open.
