Christmas and New Year's Eve in Timmendorfer Strand

Forget the dreary, gray everyday life and spend the holidays with us at Timmendorfer Strand, one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Europe. The Baltic Sea coast presents itself in the winter months in a completely different, individual, and tranquil way.

Itinerary

1st Day | (23.12.2026) Arrival Timmendorfer Strand

2nd Day | (24.12.2026) Lübeck – Christmas Eve

In the morning, you will go on a discovery tour in Lübeck. Harbor, brick houses and churches, winding streets and alleys – that is Lübeck. The impressive spa architecture of the townhouses and churches still shapes the face of the Hanseatic city, which was founded in 1143 as the first port city on the Baltic Sea and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage since 1987. Afterwards, you have free time and the opportunity for an individual stroll through the typical brick world of old Lübeck. In the winding alleys, you can find many treasures.

Enjoy the rich breakfast buffet. Today is entirely yours. The hotel is beautifully located next to the spa park with access to the pedestrian zone, and in just a few steps, you reach the Maritim Seebrücke and Sea Life Timmendorfer Strand. Stroll along the promenade and listen to the rhythmic sound of the waves – almost meditative. In between, take a break in a café. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.

7th Day | (29.12.2026) Holstein Switzerland

Today you will take a tour through the picturesque hilly and lake landscape of Holstein Switzerland – the natural idyll between the seas. The landscape is unique: it consists largely of a lively up and down of valleys and hills with around 200 small and large lakes in between. Surrounded by a dozen lakes and adorned with an extensive castle area and an idyllic old town: that is Plön. After a visit, you will continue to Eutin, the city of roses. You will be delighted by the history and stylish elegance. Many artists and writers who resided here about 200 years ago were inspired by the spirit of this small town. To conclude, you will make a detour to Gut Panker. The historic estate has been in the family ownership of the Landgraves of Hesse since the 18th century. For dinner, you will return to your hotel.

8th Day | (30.12.2026) Hamburg

After breakfast, you will travel to Hamburg – the high north and the gateway to the world. Manageable like a small town yet lively, sparkling, and with a fresh breeze of world city air. During a city tour, discover the harbor with the landing bridges and St. Pauli, the city center with its historic buildings, the park landscape of the Außenalster, the HafenCity with the Elbphilharmonie (outside visit), and much more. Afterwards, you can enjoy the winter atmosphere on the Alster. With an Alster steamer, you will cruise close to the shore around the Außenalster and experience the sights and world-famous buildings of the Hanseatic city from the water. Sit back and enjoy the traditional round trip. Back on land, you will have some free time before returning to the hotel. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
