[AntjeG]

Hi all,

 

I live in Lübeck and can offer info for our cruise port in Travemünde. Some info is already here:

Thanks for the offer of assistance, AntjeG.

We dock at the 'Skai' berth on May 24, 08:00 - 18:00.

What is involved in getting to the Lübeck-Travemünde Skandinavienkai rail station?

It is evidently nearby but I believe we cannot just walk to it, because of the traffic at this ferry port?

How do we get from the cruise ship to the station, please?

You can walk - there is a pedestrian tunnel from Hafenhaus (the terminal building) to the bus station and from there you take the bus. Or you take the bus. Busses No. 30, 31 and 40 go from the terminal directly downtown.

 

If you want to take the train to go to Lübeck city center may I suggest you just take the bus and stay on the bus. All 3 lines stop at the terminal and downtown. You can get off the bus at "Gustav Radbruch Platz" (about 30 minutes bus ride). You can see the medieval city gate from there. Just walk through and you are in the middle of everything. There is a city map at the bus stop. Or you stay on the bus until "Holstentorplatz". From there you see the other medieval city gate. The tourist information (called Welcome Center) is on the other side of the street.

 

Bus tickets from Skandinavienkai are 3,20 € per person per direction. If you want to change to the train you don´t have to buy a new ticket to go to Lübeck central station. The bus tickets are valid in the regional trains.

If you are more than 2 adults a "Kleingruppenkarte" may be worth to consider. This is a group ticket for up to 5 persons and is valid on the bus and regional train for as many rides as you like in both directions from 9 AM until late at night. The price is 17,50 € per ticket (not per person).

 

Bus and train timetable is here: www.nah.sh

 

You can buy bus tickets from the driver. Be sure to have cash as the busses are not equipped for credit card payment. And the drivers don´t change bills 50 € and over. You need 20 € or less in bills (or coins, of course).
