Luebeck!!!

[scottygirliwish]

Hey! I'm in Luebeck for around two weeks to visit my Fiancé before my Fall semester at Uni starts again. However, he works during the day, so I must keep myself pretty busy. Can anyone recommend places in Luebeck for me to visit? I've already been to Travemuende nearby, and to a bunch of churches

There are some good pointers here

I love the Altstadt and the Holstentor. If you like marzipan at all, check out Cafe Niederegger, too. :)

Have fun!

Man, I loved Lübeck! Only went for a daytrip though, so I'm afraid I'm of no help.

a pure walk around the Altstadt shall be a treatment, i assure, 'cause the old part of Luebeck is extremely romantic and cozy, plus local people speak a pretty bit of friendly English

My husband spent some time in Luebeck as an exchange student. He recommends visiting the park on Holstentorplatz (not sure of the park's name, but it's on a little island near the Innenstadt). There's the old gate to the city, a recreation of the town in medieval times, and apparently some ancient armaments and torture devices on display. He also recommends eating as much Marzipan as possible - the Niederegger brand is from Luebeck.

Have you gone to see the shop with the Marizpan sculptures by the Rathaus? That was rather entertaining I thought.
