Lübeck Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Lübeck on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Solve riddles at the Holstentor, the gothic Rathaus, and the waterside Stintmarkt — the three faces of a Hanseatic merchant city • Walk the old town at your own pace, guided by the app from the moment you arrive • Suits couples, families, history buffs, and any group ready to see Lübeck properly Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app. Around 2 hours - any group size. Thomas Mann wrote a Nobel-winning novel here. He had a point.

Starting at Burgtorbrücke, 23568 Lübeck, Germany, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The riddles lead you across Lübeck's island old town from its northern gate to its medieval waterfront. Your first landmark is the Holstentor, the twin-towered city gate that has guarded Lübeck's western approach since 1478, its distinctive pointed rooftops leaning imperceptibly inward over the centuries and somehow remaining one of Germany's most recognisable landmarks. From there the app takes you to the Rathaus, one of the finest Gothic town halls in northern Europe, whose facade of glazed black bricks and white limestone tracery dominates the market square with quiet authority. The route concludes at the Stintmarkt, a waterfront quay where fishermen once sold their catch at the edge of the Trave river — now a lively row of outdoor restaurants with some of the best views of the old town from the water's edge. Around 2 hours on foot. The old town is compact and very walkable.
