With the double decker through Kiel
There are so many ways to discover the fjord city Kiel. By foot on a walking tour, by bike on a guided bike tour and much more. But none is as comfortable as the Hop-on Hop-off Tour with the red double decker buses of City Sightseeing. Most importantly, the bus tour is great fun in both bright sunshine and rain. The first stop on the tour is at the train station. From here, you can really let yourself go. The first part of the tour takes you along the water, giving you an impression of the maritime flair of Kiel. On the way you can see the really big cruise ships and at stop number 4 you will find the State Parliament of Schleswig-Holstein. At this point, a short walk is worthwhile, because nearby, furry swimmers are waiting for curious spectators. Here the seals from GEOMAR show their skills. In the northern part of Kiel, the red bus drives past the Flandernbunker – a remnant of World War II that houses various exhibitions – and into the city's maritime quarter. Once at the Kiel Canal, the observation deck offers an excellent view of the goings-on in the lock. Did you know that the canal, which runs from Kiel to Brunsbüttel, is the busiest shipping lane in the world? From here, a trip across the canal on a small ferry called the "Shoebox" is a must, as it takes you to the maritime Thiessenkai with its historic lighthouse dating from 1895. After that, you will head into the final straight. During the somewhat longer driving distance between the final destinations, you can take in the atmosphere of the fjord city and reflect on what you have seen. Passing the Holstein Stadium, where the "Kieler Störche" (The Storks) play in the second division of the Bundesliga, the bus takes its passengers on to the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel. Along Holtenauer Straße, Kiel's popular shopping street, you will find plenty of inspiration for your next shopping trip. So hop on!
