Sundays in Luneburg, Germany

Only shops will be closed. Rail will have Sunday schedule. Most restaurants / cafès in tourist areas will be open. For sights check their opening times on websites.

Thank you, we will consider that in our plans.

I was in Lüneburg on a Sunday in March. There is a great-looking bookstore across the street from the town square that unfortunately was closed . That was about the only thing I felt like I missed by being there on Sunday. All the museums are open on Sunday. I would think Monday would be a worse day; most of the museums are closed that day.

Hi,

I've been to Lüneburg several times on Sundays, whether as a day trip from Hamburg or Lübeck or staying in Lüneburg for a few nights, ie 3-4 which included a Sunday. . True, the stores are closed, more in the past than currently.

The advantage of spending a Sunday in Lüneburg is it will be tranquil and serene, an uncrowded time for relaxation and thinking, basically a lovely place, one of my top favourite towns in Germany.

My first full day in Germany was spent in Lüneburg after arriving 24 hrs before in Lübeck-Travemünde in 1971. Go visit the three main churches in Lüneburg, and most definitely, the Johanniskirche, a few minutes from the train station as you enter the Zentrum on Am Sande. which I saw most recently last May.

Keep in mind that Lüneburg survived the war intact, was not bombed out, raked by artillery fire; it was quickly occupied by the British as the crossed the Lower Elbe at Lauenburg.

Thank you again for all of the information, we are looking forward to visiting Luneburg!

It also survived Napoleon in tact. The story goes that when the people of the town heard Napoleon was headed their way, they tore down the city wall and welcomed him instead of fighting him.
