Driving in Germany

Driving in Germany is different from the UK - and we're not just talking about the side of the road! Stick to the right lane on highways, as the left is, traditionally, reserved for overtaking only. Make sure to strictly obey the traffic rules, excessive speeding could lead to heavy fines.

Routes and Accessibility

Reaching popular destination cities from Lübeck Airport is easy. Hamburg can be reached within an hour using the Autobahn A1. For coastal towns Travemünde (22 km), Timmendorfer Strand (27 km), or Scharbeutz (28 km), just follow the B75.

Gas Stations

When it’s time to refuel, you'll find several petrol stations just minutes from the airport, so don’t worry about running on empty.

Climate and Currency

The climate in Northern Germany offers warm summers and relatively mild winters. The currency is the Euro (€), which is a little different than the British Pound (£) but easy to handle!

Surrounding Cities and Sites

Other than Lübeck, the nearby cities of Hamburg, Kiel, and Schwerin are also worth exploring. The Baltic Sea coast and the natural beauty of Schleswig-Holstein countryside should not be missed!
