Markets & regional products

Shopping in Lübeck isn't just done indoors. Besides the weekly market and the tourist market right at the foot of the Town Hall, practically every district has its own weekly market. The open-air shopping centres are genuine suppliers of fresh seasonal fruit and veg and provide a beneficial exchange between Lübeck and its surrounding area. Potatoes, apples, asparagus, strawberries or cabbage all thrive in the immediate surrounding areas and only have a short distance to travel to the consumer. This is sustainability from its best side. The following markets can be found in the Lübeck city. You are bound to find one nearby: from 8 am - 1 pm respectively: Mon: Meesenkaserne and Travemünde Tues: Brink Wed: Brolingsplatz, Hasenweg and Schlutup, Mecklenburger Straße Thurs: Meesenkaserne, Brink, Travemünde Fri: Hanseplatz, Moisling and Kücknitz, Kirchplatz Sat: Brolingsplatz and Brink from 10.30 am - 7.00 pm respectively Mon: Markt/Rathausmarkt Thurs: Markt/Rathausmarkt from 2.00 pm - 5.00 pm respectively Fri: Buntekuh, opposite from Buntekuh shopping centre Travemünde: 1st May - 30th Sept: 8.00 am - 2.00 pm 1st Oct - 30th April: 8.00 am - 1.00 pm

Shopping

Lübeck is famous for marzipan, and Café Niederegger on Breite Straße is the place to buy it – in 300 varieties! Beautifully packaged it makes delicious gifts. Take a look at the life-sized marzipan figures in the Marzipan Salon while you’re there. From the Town Hall, the busy town centre shopping streets are pedestrianised. There’s a wealth of individually-owned shops on Hüxstraße and Fleischhauerstraße, two of the city’s most attractive shopping streets. These, and other side streets leading off the pedestrian precinct, are the place to look for designer fashion, accessories and jewellery.
