Just an hour from Hamburg, Lübeck is a beautiful Hanseatic town filled with Gothic architecture, scenic waterways, and rich trading history.

From tracing my dad’s shipping memories to exploring Hamburg with our little ones, this short and sweet family trip turned out to be unexpectedly nostalgic, fun, and full of surprises.

A magical 3-day journey through Venice, midnight canals, iconic landmarks, gondola rides, and colourful island escapes. Not perfect, but absolutely worth it.
