Best time to visit

The best time to visit Lübeck is between May and September when the weather is mild, and outdoor activities are in full swing. The city hosts several events during this time, including the famous Lübeck Nordic Film Days in November which should not be missed. Spring and early autumn are also pleasant, with fewer crowds and comfortable temperatures. Winter, although cold, is magical in Lübeck thanks to the Christmas markets and festive ambience that bring the old town to life.
