Medieval Lübeck: Private Shore Excursion & UNESCO Old Town

Discover the Hanseatic queen of the Baltic — Lübeck's UNESCO World Heritage brick-gothic skyline, the iconic Holstentor gate, marzipan heritage, and labyrinthine merchant alleyways — on a private expert-led day from the port.

What to expect

Your driver collects you at the pier for the scenic hour-and-a-half drive west to Lübeck. A local guide leads you through the Holstentor, across the seven-spired skyline, and into the atmospheric Gänge — the ancient merchants' alleyways. A tasting stop at Niederegger, the city's legendary 200-year-old marzipan house, is a highlight before you browse the St. Mary's Church and Thomas Mann quarter. The return is timed comfortably for all-aboard.
