Hanseatic City of Lübeck, LüBECK

There is, in my opinion, nothig to dislike about the lovely city. History beckons at every corner. Luebeck is full of music history, Buxtehude, Bach and organist H. Distler, various performances. Having followed the city's revival from 1945 to the present I feel that there is no romance like that lasting one with HL. One can wander small cobblestone streets, some arched, Gruben and Gaenge, discovering new details in doors and rooflines. Stop in at the Buddenbrook House, that of Guenther Grass, the old guildhouse. Visit the first seafarers' Restaurant or the Potatoe Cellar for typically Luebeck dishes. One can go on and on. I never get tired if visiting Luebeck. Most impressive are the gothic cathedrals, all of them beautifully restored and lovingly cared for. Seven Spires greet you when you first enter the city from eithr train station or the Autobahn. Soemtines upon entering on of the churches you may happen upon. an organ recital in majestic medieval surroundings that will send chivers down your spine. Especially when you look at the organ and listen to its sound and realize that Bach ( who walked from Liepzig to Luebeck) and Buxtehude played that same organ. Accommodations whether you choose an upscale hotel, a smaller one or a vacation apartement (as of recently my favorite choice) the city is around you. Every destination be it the Holsten Gate or the Burg Gate, the train station or the harbour is walkable, and no matter which route you choose, these is something to marvel at and enjoy. Cafes at almost every corner, restaurants are plentyful, foods are offered for every taste. Go and see, experience for yourselves.
