5. Lübeck
Lübeck, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1987, was one of the great mercantile cities in the Middle Ages and today stands as one of the great hidden tourist gems in Germany. The Old Town Island, surrounded by the river Trave and the canal, still communicates the charm of a port.
Travemünde is one of the most beautiful sea resorts of Europe, which already in 1802 transformed the former fishing and sailor village into a top address for bathers from both near and afar. The fascinating sailing old-timer “Passat”, chugging deep-sea fishing boats and gigantic ferryboats can be admired on the Baltic Sea.
Great post on Germany. We spent three weeks exploring the divergent sides of Germany last summer. We snapped over 5k in photos! It’s truly beautiful.
