Lüneburg
This heritage-dense Hanseatic town on the River Ilmenau in Lower Saxony, Lüneburg carries a well-preserved medieval streetscape and a walkable centre with a strong food-and-drink scene. Its official name — the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg — reflects its historic membership in the Hanseatic League, a status formally recognised in 2007. The town sits on the edge of the Lüneburg Heath, roughly a short drive southeast of Hamburg, and is home to Leuphana University.
