Things to do in Lübeck

 
Lübeck is a fascinating place to walk around with great architecture and interesting things like this 3D mini map of the town that we just walked past by some shops.  



The Niederegger shop, cafe and museum is wonderful.  You have to go to the cafe and try marzipan tea and marzipan cake.

The museum is upstairs, accessed through a side door in the cafe, and is quite small but informative.  It covers the history of marzipan making and has some impressive statues made of marzipan - it smells quite nice in there!
 









The shop downstairs has some impressive marzipan art too and the most amazing varied flavours of marzipan.  

I think the marzipan options are so varied that this is the only place to shop for souvenirs!




Another place I wanted to visit, but which was closed when we were in town was the Theatre Figure museum.  You can find it up a little side street - you can see this dragon outside!  They have over a thousand theatre puppets so are on my list to go back to one day.
