Description
The tour starts at the Mulled Wine Hut in the Forest of Stars and Fairy Tales. The historic streets and enchanting squares come to life with 190 booths selling handicrafts, special Christmas gifts, and much more. Thousands of lights twinkle in the sky above the markets, star garlands in red and white, and a big wheel that will light up the skies. Each year, the Christmas market used to be visited by up to 2 million visitors. During this scenic stroll, we get to see the Marzipan Cafe and learn about some of the North German Christmas traditions, such as Saint Nicholas Day, the origin of the Christmas tree and decorations, and the booths to enjoy a traditional Christmas grilled sausage. The tour ends in Koberg Square, where we enjoy the lights of the big wheel illuminating the Lubeck Skyline and get a peek into the historic assembly room of the beer brewers corporation under the spire of St. Jacques Church, wherewith each glass of Mulled Wine, you have a free Christmas wish.

Christel Obenaus
I am a true Lubeck girl, and a German Tourist Guide Association certified guide. I have had the pleasure of showing people around Lubeck since 2010. Having travelled extensively on all continents and living abroad for 22 years, I returned to Lubeck in 2003. I do classical, culinary and themed walks around Lubeck; I slip into traditional medieval and 19th-century costume to take the visitor back in time.
I also do ghost tours at night time. I can offer day trips on pleasure boats, tours including traditional German lunch or tours around beautiful areas near Lubeck, including the seaside resort of Travemunde or the fairy-tale water castle in Schwerin, also known as the Neuschwanstein of the North.
