Lubeck transforms after dark. Neighborhoods around Holstentor and Marienkirche take on new energy, new sounds, and new possibilities — and the best way to discover it is on foot, moving between venues the way locals do. Track down Gangs and courtyards for the kind of night that only locals know about.

Lubeck is primarily visited for history and architecture, but the city takes on a different character at night. Areas near Holstentor and Marienkirche come alive after sunset, offering an experience you can't get during the day. Look for Gangs and courtyards — the kind of place that daytime visitors never know existed.
Enter through the Holstentor and walk the length of the island old town — it takes about 30 minutes end to end. Explore the hidden courtyards along the way.
