City Trips and Hamburg

A big advantage of Hotel Sellhorn: Situated literally at the doorsteps of Hamburg city, sightseeing trips and culture are only a short 30 minute drive away.

How about a trip to Hamburg - maybe to enjoy a musical?

Here are our Hamburg favorites for you:

• A day of excursions and sight-seeing around Binnenalster (Inner Alster lake)
• A visit of a concert or a musical
• A boat cruise along the Speicherstadt, a superb arrangement of ancient ware houses near Elbe river
• A visit to HCC, the Hamburg Cruise Center, fashionable terminal for the big oceangoing cruising ships.  For more Information visit: Hamburg Cruise Center
   

Our recommendation: Get yourself a “Hamburg Card”, a “door opener” for more than 140 points of interest, culture, leisure in and around Hamburg, including a day of free-of-charge bus, rail or boat rides. Find more information under:

Lüneburg

young life in a historical setting

1000 years of history - half-timbered facades, narrow, crooked cobblestone lanes - the very ingredients of one of the most fascinating cities in Northern Germany. The City Hall (13th Century) is amongst the most important in entire Germany. The “Museum of Salt” recalls the story and history of the “white gold”, Luneburg’s former source of wealth - a wealth that the patrician houses clearly portray till today. If you are in for some relaxation, you may wish to explore the “Salztherme” the “Salt Spa”. Particularly enchanting on warm summer nights: Bars, taverns, inns and restaurants add an almost Mediterranean flair to the town!

Celle

half-timbered houses, a former aristocratic residency - a gem of a town!

Prominent buildings, streets and town squares, places rich in history and tradition. The southern gateway to the Luneburg Heath is an attractive alternative to the bustling cities, like e.g. metropolitan Hamburg. Celle is well known for its more than 500 listed half-timbered houses. The era of the so-called “Weser-Renaissance” can be explored throughout the whole town. More sight-seeing highlights: The Residence - former home of the Dukes of Braunschweig - and the Residence-Museum, the old Town Hall with its hourly carillon, St. Mary’s Church with the trumpeter playing a choral twice every day and the tombs of the Dukes of the Welfen-Dynasty. Numerous greens offer recreation right in the middle of the town, amongst others the French Garden, designed in the 19th Century.
