Pass by St Marien Church and the Gothic Rathaus, one of the oldest in Germany. You’ll continue past the Heiligen-Geist-Hospital, as well as the Buddenbrooks House, home of the famous writers Heinrich and Thomas Mann, who were both born in Lübeck Another fascinating attraction is one of the quaint 82 Wohngaenge (alleyways) which you will explore.
Next, enjoy some free time to explore the Christmas Market around the Town Hall and visit the famous Café Niederegger, the large selection of chocolate coated marzipan will make a great gift for Christmas. Whilst there, why not sample a slice of their popular marzipan gateau, truly delicious.
