When it comes to events, anything you may be looking for will be found in Schleswig-Holstein’s cities.

The cultural offerings in the land between the seas are full of excitement, lively and interesting. Swinging or singing, jazz or opera, rock or pop, documentary or lyric, painted or modelled – somewhere there is sure to be the right event for your taste.

Do you know about the “Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival”? The largest of its kind. You will see and hear stars from the world of classical music from around the globe. Orchestras, ensembles and soloists with resounding names come to the cities and villages of the north. The gardens and parks, the venues of manor houses and estates are the goal for lawn picnic and concert guests of all ages for a number of weeks. Simply a must for any fan of classical music!

Every year highlights such as the “Kieler Woche”, the “Travemünder Woche”, the “Karl-May-Festspiele” in Bad Segeberg, the “Nordische Filmtage” in Lübeck, the “Flensburg Nautics” and numerous city and harbour festivals are the centres of attraction for millions of visitors. Nor should you miss the famous north German Christmas markets which can hardly be outdone, especially in the cities, in beauty and festiveness. Events of a very special kind are “Sand World” in Travemünde and “Ice World” in Lübeck, where sculptors transform tons of sand and ice into fascinating worlds of art.
