Kiel Cruises
Overview
Kiel is an old port city situated on the Kiel Fjord. Strategically located to control the gateway to the Baltic Sea, Kiel has a long and rich naval history. While the city center was destroyed and rebuilt after World War II, much of the waterfront area survived and is still thriving. Visitors will experience an urban feel, plenty of beautiful green space, active nightlife, and relaxed ambiance, while a maritime theme influences everything from culture, to architecture, and from notable sites, to cuisine.
Things to Do
Surrounding Areas Of Interest
- Altstadt (Old Town)- Lined with family owned shops and boutique stores, Old City is a great place to sit and enjoy a meal or coffee at one the many restaurants and coffee houses. While most of Alstadt is new, there are still a few remaining buildings that harken back to an earlier age.
- Vorstadt- Located right next to Alstadt, this area is home to the Town Hall, Opera House, and the Sophienhof shopping center. This is also a great place to seek out museums.

- Head down to Kiellinie, the 2.2 mile waterfront promenade where tourists and locals alike can stroll, bike, and skate and enjoy the fresh air.

Don’t miss out on sampling kieler sprotte, the local smoked fish specialty.
