Kiel

Kiel is Germany's northernmost major city, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, and a gateway to Scandinavia. The annual Kieler Woche (Kiel Week) is the world's largest sailing event and turns the entire city into one massive party.

What Makes Kiel Special

• Kieler Woche: The world's largest sailing event each June transforms Kiel into a week-long festival with millions of visitors, live music, and open-air parties.
• Scandinavian Ferry Terminal: Ferries to Norway and Sweden depart from Kiel, bringing an international crowd and a distinctly Nordic atmosphere.
• Maritime Nightlife: Waterfront bars along the Kieler Förde offer a unique maritime drinking experience with harbor views.
• Student City: Christian-Albrechts-Universität ensures a strong student presence and affordable bar options year-round.
