LÜBECK (TRAVEMÜNDE) GERMANY LOCAL CUISINE SHOPPING Discover Lübeck’s distinguished and fluid culture. The region’s overall character defies international boundaries — it is truly a city that reflects its own history and people. From the 13th to 16th centuries, Lübeck was an important center for the Hanseatic League, an international trade group that dominated Northern Europe’s maritime commerce. Today, its proximity to Denmark, the German Lowlands and the North and Baltic Seas offer fascinating diversity. Brick Gothic and Neo-Renaissance architecture intersperse with half-timber houses, cobbled lanes and pedestrian shopping arcades. Locals speak up to four languages, including South Jutish, a dialect shared at the German-Danish border. Step ashore to experience the exceptional sights and lifestyle of this beautiful medieval town. Cuisine here is atypical to most of Germany. Stews, ham and seafood with a Scandinavian influence are usually served with potatoes, cabbage or kale. The regional favorites are pears, beans and bacon. Adventurous diners can try Schweinebacke or cured pig head with kale. Don’t forget to try the marzipan — Lübeck is world-famous for this artistic almond candy. Regionally, pilsner beers are everywhere. Sample Lütt un Lütt, a mix of beer with corn liqueur or Pharisäer, a mix of coffee and rum which is quite similar to the Irish Coffee. Lübeck is an antiquer’s dream. Silver, porcelain, pewter, tin, glass and pottery practically spill out of the shops. Look for English, German and Danish furniture, too. Almost all articles can be shipped home for safety. Lübeck’s rich maritime history is also highlighted in handicrafts. Statues, carving, wall hangings and prints make wonderful remembrances. The main shopping street is pedestrian-friendly Breite Strasse. Much of the Altstadt neighborhood is car-free, too. Explore the medieval charms of Lübeck, Queen of the Hanse. CURRENCY Germany uses the euro. Tip 10-15% in restaurants. Bring cash. Credit cards are not the norm here.
