The Lüneburg Town Hall is one of northern Germany's largest and most beautiful medieval town halls.

The Lüne Benedictine Convent, founded in 1172, lies only a few minutes' walk from Lüneburg's town centre.

"Am Sande" Square is a sensation on its own. At once the town's oldest square and its centre, this is a place where you can marvel at the best-looking brick buildings and their gables.

The western part of the Old Town slopes noticeably toward the street called "Auf dem Meere". Here lies the edge of the so-called 'Senkungsgebiet' or low-lying area.

Lüneburg's docks were once a hub for the shipment of valuable salt to Lübeck - for which a crane was absolutely essential.
