Lüneburg, which is located between Hamburg and Hanover, has a history going back more than 1050 years and is one of the most fascinating cities in Northern Germany. Its historic brick Gothic architecture sets an attractive counterpoint to the vibrating and modern city life. In the Second World War, Lüneburg escaped destruction and retained a superbly preserved medieval town – one of the reasons why Lüneburg was re-awarded the title of “Hanseatic City” in October, 2007. Wherever visitors venture into the city center, they can feel the history of the city. The most valuable asset throughout Lüneburg's history was salt. It was extracted from the groundwater of local salines for over 1000 years, and the trade of what at the time was called “white gold” brought wealth and prestige to the city in the Middle Ages. Today, the traffic-calmed city center invites visitors to linger; a great number of well-assorted specialist shops in historic buildings featuring steep gables provide extensive shopping opportunities, and many cafés and pubs open their doors to visitors every day. In addition, the bars situated at Stint and in Schröderstraße offer a varied nightlife.

A must for every visitor is the annual Christmas Market in front of the festively illuminated gabled façades of the City Hall.
