Free tour of Lübeck: Hanseatic past and charming corners
I'm Leo, an Argentinian by birth and a naturally curious soul, passionate about the hidden stories cities have to tell. I guide with the same enthusiasm I bring to my travels: searching for the authentic, the unexpected, and what rarely shows up on maps. What I enjoy most is watching a city come to life when we learn to see it with fresh eyes.

We'll meet in the square in front of the Holstentor gate, right between the two stone lions. I'll be waiting for you with a stick with red and yellow ribbons, easy to see from a distance. Meeting point: Holstentorplatz, 23552 Lübeck.
Description
🧭 Lübeck through different eyes: history, secrets, and different perspectives
It all started with a gate. The imposing Holstentor greeted me when I first arrived in Lübeck, and from then on, I knew this city had much more to offer than postcards and dates. Every corner holds a whisper, a story, an image that comes to life when you look at it with curiosity.
This tour isn't a history lesson; it's a live, up-close experience. We'll walk through hidden alleys, squares steeped in centuries-old memories, and buildings that have survived the test of time. I invite you to rediscover Lübeck, not as a tourist, but as an explorer of the invisible.
During the tour we will see:
- The Holstentor Gate and its history as a medieval defense
- The bridge over the Trave and the old salt depot
- The impressive St. Mary's Church, the heart of Baltic Gothic
- The Church of San Pedro, with its panoramic viewpoint
- The Church of Santiago, little known but full of symbolism
- The merchants' quarter and its charming corridors
- The town hall square and its stories of power
- References to Nobel Prize winners Thomas Mann and Willy Brandt
- We'll finish near the Hospital del Espíritu Santo, in a serene setting, ideal for further exploration on your own.
