- Lübecker Löwen - Begin your journey at Burgtorbrücke, 23568 Lübeck, Germany. Open the Explorial app and input the 6-digit game code you received via text and Viator chat message. The puzzles will guide you through Lübeck’s island old town, starting from its northern gate and leading to its medieval waterfront.
Your first stop is the Holstentor, the iconic twin-towered city gate that has protected Lübeck’s western entrance since 1478. Its unique pointed rooftops have subtly leaned inward over the years, yet it remains one of Germany’s most recognizable landmarks.
Next, the app directs you to the Rathaus, a magnificent Gothic town hall in northern Europe. Its facade, adorned with glazed black bricks and white limestone tracery, commands the market square with understated elegance.
The journey concludes at the Stintmarkt, a historic waterfront quay where fishermen once sold their catch along the Trave river. Today, it is a vibrant row of outdoor restaurants offering some of the best views of the old town from the water’s edge.
The tour takes approximately 2 hours on foot. The old town is compact and easily walkable.
