What‘s special about Lüneburg? Quite simple, really: It‘s the charming contrast of the pulsating young ambience and the mediaeval face of a more than 1000 year old Hanseatic city. Visitors are fascinated by the brick buildings decorated with elaborate gables and one of the largest and most beautiful medieval city halls in northern Germany. But Lüneburg is just as lively in the modern age: trendy shops, a multitude of cozy pubs and a dynamic student scene are elements of the young face the city so rich in tradition shows today.
