Our city is like a piece of art waiting to be discovered and admired. A guided city tour is the perfect opportunity for newcomers to Lübeck to gain exciting and surprising insights into the city’s history and architecture. However, it does not always have to be through the classic tour; even small house tours are on offer at the HanseKulturFestival, allowing a look behind the scenes that is otherwise unavailable. Come with us on a stroll through the newly built, yet very historical, founding quarter! Just keep in mind that most tours will be in German.
