About

Lübeck brings people and ideas together – and has done so for centuries. As the ‘Queen of the Hanseatic League’, the city stands for exchange, entrepreneurial spirit and new perspectives. Here, history meets a vibrant hub of academia and business, with four universities, outstanding research institutions and thriving companies. Modern, Cosmopolitan and Hanseatic! And the location is impressive too: situated in the heart of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region and right on the Baltic Sea, Lübeck is easily accessible by many routes. The fast rail link to Hamburg, the connection to the motorway network and the proximity to Hamburg Airport ensure a hassle-free journey. Lübeck Airport is also just a few minutes from the city centre and connects Lübeck with various destinations in northern and southern Europe. Lübeck is ideally equipped for events: 7 conference centres with capacity for up to 2,000 people, over 50 venues and partners for business events, and around 15,500 beds offer a wealth of options for meetings, conferences, congresses and events. And best of all: everything is close together and within easy walking distance. Once here, Lübeck showcases what makes this Hanseatic City so special: a maritime atmosphere and views of the water combine with imposing brick Gothic architecture and the historic Old Town Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This makes it easy to combine focused meetings with the Lübeck experience. Travemünde is just 20 minutes away: this Seaside Resort brings fresh sea air and authentic harbour charm to the conference programme. Here, the big ships sail past within arm’s reach, whilst the four-masted barque Passat, Travemünde’s landmark, keeps maritime history alive. The beach, promenade and the Baltic Sea offer the perfect change of scenery after an intensive day of meetings – and plenty of opportunities for events and shared experiences right by the water’s edge. Whether it’s a conference, congress, social programme or an incentive event: the Hanseatic City of Lübeck and the Seaside Resort of Travemünde provide the perfect setting for events of all sizes and formats. A historic atmosphere, modern event facilities, short distances and the immediate proximity to the water create ideal conditions for exchange, encounters and new perspectives.
