Overview

Discover Lubeck your way with Ciceru’s self-guided walking tour—audio and text in 7 languages, right on your phone.

Begin at the Holstentor, the city’s iconic gate, and uncover its defensive past. Admire the Salzspeicher, the red-brick warehouses that stored the “white gold” that fueled Lübeck’s trade. Step into the heart of the city at the Rathaus, where Gothic and Renaissance architecture reflect Lübeck’s power in the Hanseatic League. Walk past St. Mary’s Church, a towering Gothic masterpiece, and spot the famous devil statue. Visit the Buddenbrook House, the setting of Thomas Mann’s novel, and explore Lübeck’s merchant elite. See the ornate façade of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, one of Europe’s oldest charitable institutions, before reaching the Burgtor, the city’s northernmost gate.

With 7 stops and engaging riddles, this self-guided tour lets you explore at your own pace. Experience Lübeck one riddle at a time!
