River sights in Lübeck

  1. A

    Trave River

    Just behind the Salzspeicher lies the Trave River, which forms a moat around the old town; and if you arrive between April and September one of the first things to do is to take a boat tour. Sure, you start off viewing an industrial harbour, but the trips soon start passing beautiful leafy surrounds. Boats are scheduled to leave every half-hour, although many wait until they're half-full.

    Maak-Linie (www.maak-linie.de) runs good one-hour tours, leaving from the north of the Holstentorbrücke. Quandt-Linie (www.quandt-linie.de) leaves from just south of the bridge.
