Café Niederegger
Across the street from the Rathaus is Café Niederegger. This is Lübeck's mecca of marzipan, the almond sweet from Arabia, which Lübeck confectioners have excelled in making for centuries. Even if you're not buying, the stop is a feast for the eyes. In the upstairs Marzipan-Salon you'll learn that in medieval Europe marzipan was thought of as medicine, not a sweet.

Christmas Market
You're most likely to enter the four bare walls of the former Heiligen-Geist-Hospital if you're coming to Lübeck's superlative Christmas Market. Although the building is largely an elegant shell these days, there are resonances of Germany's first hospital (dating back to 1227). Through an early-Gothic hall church, you'll come to the hospital hallway, where you'll see the little chambers that were built around 1820 to give the sick and old a certain degree of privacy.
