Why Walk Lubeck

Lubeck was the capital of the Hanseatic League, the powerful medieval trading alliance that dominated Baltic commerce. The old town sits on an island between the Trave River and its canal, entered through the iconic Holstentor gate. The skyline of seven church spires rising above red brick buildings earned it the nickname 'City of Seven Towers.' The entire old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Thomas Mann grew up here, and his novel Buddenbrooks is set in the city.
