Which location fits?

Near the beach

Short walks to the Kurstrand and promenade; the coastal train stops right by the beach. The classic choice for a beach holiday – book early for July.

→ Train to “Lübeck-Travemünde Strand”, then walk.

Town centre and Vorderreihe

In the middle of it: restaurants, the ferry pier and evening life on the Trave at your door. Most flexible without a car.

→ Train to “Hafenbahnhof”, five minutes on foot.

Priwall

The quiet side: beach, nature and the Waterfront buildings – separated from the bustle by the Trave, connected by ferry in minutes.

→ Take the car ferry, or cross on foot.

Surroundings as base

Lübeck or the bay towns as your base, Travemünde as the day trip – easy by coastal train and often cheaper.

→ Coastal train from Lübeck Hbf, about 20 minutes to the beach.

Where to search?

First stop is the town’s official host directory – owners are listed directly, no middle layer. The big portals additionally carry many private holiday flats; the links here are plain and unpaid.

Plain, unpaid links – this site earns nothing from them. For Travemünde Week (17–26 July), book months ahead.
