Exploring and Learning in Luneburg

This delightful restaurant is perfect for a stopover, boasting of some delicious pastries, snacks and excellent coffee. This serves as a great little pick-me-up on the way to Luneburg.

Luneburg is known for being a 'salt-city' where salt was produced and sold. Therefore to learn more about this reputation, a visit to its Salt Museum is essential. Here you will learn about salt itself, how it was cultivated in Luneburg and the history of the city in relation to it. There are audio guides available for just €1 in English and German, and there's an impressive giftshop here too, where you can buy quaint postcards and lots of different types of salt! This quirky yet interesting museum is entertaining and should be on every Luneburg tourist's itinerary.

As you are going to have a walk in Lüneburg, you can conveniently leave your vehicle at this car park.

This restaurant and brewery is one of the finest in Luneburg and a perfect place to stop by for lunch. The interior décor is sophisticated and the food is exquisite. This is truly a great opportunity to try the authentic local flavours. I especially recommend the arugula salad with rump steak.

Now you've arrived in the charming city of Luneburg, and to really soak in its medieval charm, the main city square of Am Sande is a must-see. This place is like going back in time with its gorgeous gothic architecture, dating back centuries. Here are tourist attractions, cafés and restaurants but even just wandering around will fill you with delight.

Now it's dinner time and for our money, Altes Brauhaus is one of the best in town. It's not the cheapest option and should be booked in advance, but when you try the delicious food and wine options you'll know it's money well spent. With classy interior and lighting along with a delicious selection of German cuisine, you will be satisfied by the end of your meal.

This tower was originally intended to be a water tower when it was constructed in 1905, however it now serves as an observation tower where you can see the beauty of Luneburg atop this stunning must-see attraction. The building itself is fascinating, with beautiful architecture and different exhibits on each floor. You will be mesmerised as you climb up it, taking in the extraordinary sights. When you get to the top, you will be able to observe Luneburg in all of her glory, with views that will take your breath away! Just one thing—if you can't speak German, make sure you have the Google Translate app downloaded on your smartphone, as all the exhibits are in German only.

Go back to the car park to pick your vehicle, as tomorrow you will have a long ride.

This charming hotel is very comfortable, central and with great service. It's a three-star hotel but this ranking is fairly modest when you account for the quality of its rooms, its restaurants and that it even has themed dinner nights with live performances. Highly recommended.
