Welcome to our walking tours of Lübeck's public art!

We have prepared two audio guides for you. The majority of the public artworks are located in the old town, well within walking distance.

 

You can download maps with the route and artwork locations to any audio guide.

 

The audio guides are available in the estate version of the website.

 

All tours take about 45 minutes.
