Arrival
and parking

Welcome to the Christmas City of the North!

To help you get the most out of your visit, here are some tips for getting around Lübeck. 

Generally speaking, the weekends are particularly busy and the Christmas markets are always well attended. If you prefer things to be a little quieter, why not visit during the week? You can avoid detours and road works by taking public transport to Lübeck or simply park your car in one of the car parks outside the Old Town Island and take the shuttle bus to the markets.

LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT

Our popular Christmas markets can be easily reached on foot in about 15–20 minutes from the main train station and the ZOB bus station. Alternatively, you can get on a bus. Almost every line will take you straight to the Old Town island.

Ticket tips

The small group ticket is valid for up to 5 people for a round trip. Your destination is only four or fewer stops away? Then opt for the lower-priced short-distance ticket. For more information, please go to mobil.swhl.de.

Christmas shuttle

Between 11.05 am and 8.35 pm on Advent Saturdays, the free Christmas shuttle runs every 10 minutes (from 8.35pm to 10.27 pm every 20 minutes) from the Lohmühle to the Christmas markets and back. The Christmas shuttle takes you from the Lohmühle car park (near the football stadium, street „An der Hansehalle“) and with a stop at car park Einsiedelstraße (bus stop „Einsiedelstraße“, please cross the street) into the Old Town to the „Sandstraße“ bus stop. After a short stop, the Lohmühle shuttle takes the same way back. Find more information at www.sv-lübeck.de

Car

Our parking guidance system will take you directly to the available car parks around the Old Town. Please note that parking spaces quickly run out in the time before Christmas! On Advent Saturdays, you should spare yourself the tedious process of looking for a parking space and use our free Park + Ride offer. All information and current capacities can be found at www.parken-luebeck.de

Coaches

Coaches can park in the designated car parks on the central Wallhalbinsel by the Music and Congress Hall. Additional capacity is available at the Lastadie car park, which is designated for coaches from 25 November to 30 December 2024 and will be closed to campervans during this period.
