Lübeck: Marzipan Sweetness and Baltic Roughness

The weather in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck is a constant dialogue with the nearby Baltic Sea. A fresh, often salty breeze blows through the alleys of the historic old town, creating a maritime climate. Summers are moderately warm and often sunny, which attracts people to the beaches of Travemünde. However, the people of Lübeck know that the sky can quickly change from bright blue to threatening gray, and a rain jacket is an indispensable accessory.

Winters are cool, damp, and often windy. Real frost and snow are rarer than inland, but when the wind comes from the east, it can bring a biting cold. On such days, there is nothing better than warming up in one of the old cafés with a piece of Lübeck marzipan and a hot chocolate. The weather in Lübeck is inconsistent and sometimes rough, but it is always invigorating and perfectly matches the character of this proud, old Queen of the Hanseatic League.
