The Lüneburg City Guides answer what visitors want to know: which brewhouse serves the best schnitzel, how to read a town that grew rich on salt and then began to sink, where to go when the Stintmarkt terraces are full and which Hanseatic cities are an easy regional train ride away. Each guide is a short list with an opinion: for every place you get the reason to go, what to order or look for and one practical tip, and it opens in your browser as soon as you pay.

Three places from the guides
Röhms Deli
Heiligengeiststraße 30, old town
One of Lüneburg’s best-known chefs runs this deli with a few tables, cooking German food with the seasons and real care, with good bread and a short wine list. Few places in the old town give you more for your money. From the food guide.
Lüne Abbey
Am Domänenhof, 20 minutes’ walk north-east
A brick convent from the 1100s where a small community of women still lives. Walk through the cloister, the church and the nuns’ choir, then see medieval embroidery in the textile museum. From the things to do guide.
Schiffshebewerk Lüneburg-Scharnebeck
Scharnebeck, 20 minutes by bus from the ZOB
Among the largest boat lifts on earth, it raises barges 38 metres in huge troughs of water. Watch from below for free or climb 171 steps to the upper platform, and look in at the small free museum. From the day trips guide.
Plan your days in Lüneburg
Spend day one in the old town with the things to do and food guides: Am Sande and St. John’s, the Salt Museum and the Rathaus tour back to back, lunch on Heiligengeiststraße and a sunset drink by the old crane on the Stintmarkt from the nightlife guide. On day two, let the day trips guide take you by regional train to Hamburg or Lübeck, or out to the heath and the Scharnebeck boat lift, and finish with beer at a brewpub. Save a rainy or slow day for the SaLü salt pools and the water tower from the family guide, cake from the food guide and, once the sky clears, the Kalkberg view from the budget guide.
