My first view of the Lübecker Altstadt was the Holstentor (Holsten Gate). The city walls no longer exist, but there are several old gates (all of which I plan to visit). The Holstentor is the largest and most impressive.
Then I found a church steeple I could climb. A bit of a cheat - only a couple of flights of stairs, then an elevator. The steeple is 108 metres high; the viewing platform a mere 50 metres.

Next I headed for das Rathaus, which was quite interesting and different.

| One can walk underneath and through to the other side |

| This Utlucht is on the other side |
It was quite a warm afternoon, and this little water feature near das Rathaus had a number of children playing in it.
I bought a hot chocolate and some cake, and took them to the grassy park near the Holstentor to eat.

A few shots of some of the local architecture whilst wandering around.
