Welcome to Lübeck

Joyful, lively, serene - that's Lübeck's heartbeat, which pulsates through the winding streets of the island-shaped Old Town and fills the impressive brick architecture with life. Our Nordic beauty has retained the charm of the original port city and welcomes you openly with its motto "Concordia domi foris pax" - harmony inside, peace outside. A feeling of community accompanies you on your way past the historical monuments made of red brick: here we take care of each other and are always happy to welcome friends from near and far.

Go with the flow and stroll through the UNESCO World Heritage Site without any care, breathe history, discover art and culture sometimes in unexpected places and experience Lübeck's elixir of life, the waterways connecting Lübeck and the Baltic Sea! You are more than welcome!
