Lübeck Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Lübeck ran the Hanseatic League from behind a pair of iconic brick gates — and the city still carries that sense of trading importance.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Lübeck on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Solve riddles at the Holstentor, the gothic Rathaus, and the waterside Stintmarkt — the three faces of a Hanseatic merchant city

• Walk the old town at your own pace, guided by the app from the moment you arrive

• Suits couples, families, history buffs, and any group ready to see Lübeck properly

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Thomas Mann wrote a Nobel-winning novel here. He had a point.
