Flensburg's Streets

Flensburg is a beautiful coastal city in the far north of Germany, perched on a fjord along the Danish border. It is known for its unique blend of German and Danish culture, giving the city its own distinct charm. The cobbled streets of the old city centre are lined with half-timbered houses and lively bars and restaurants. The harbour hosts a lively farmers' market and many tourists flock to the city for its maritime atmosphere. The Museumshafen, or museum harbour, is home to a collection of old ships, while the Schifffahrtsmuseum, or maritime museum, showcases the rich seafaring history of the city. Be sure to take a walk from the harbour up to the Castle of Flensburg, that overlooks the city in the east. Other sights of interest include the St. Nikolai Church, an old water tower, and a 15th Century Franciscan monastery. Flensburg is not only loved for its historical sights and charm, but for its location. There are plenty of natural attractions nearby to explore, such as the Wadden Sea, Treene- and Achtruper Lake or the Dahlumer Height.
