Motorhome & Campervan hire in Lübeck

The best time to hire a campervan in Lübeck depends on the kind of road trip you’re planning.

For a holiday based in or around Lübeck itself, visiting between May and September ensures you can enjoy longer days and warmer weather, as well as the city’s many summer events. Summer highlights include the Dragon Boat Festival, the three-day Hanseatic Culture Festival and Travemünde Week, the second-largest regatta series in the world, which takes place at the end of July.

For those looking to venture into the Nordic countries, autumn can be a great time to enjoy cosy nights under the stars or make the most of the Nordic Film Days, a five-day event, with films from Nordic and Baltic states competing for prestigious awards.

Winter meanwhile is the perfect time to soak up the festive atmosphere of Lübeck, which hosts a traditional Christmas market and is home to the largest ice rink in Schleswig-Holstein.

The truth is, when you hire a motorhome in Lübeck from roadsurfer, you can be confident planning an adventure any time of year as your chosen vehicle will come with everything you need to hit the road in comfort.

Lübeck is a campervan-friendly city that offers plenty of parking opportunities for campers. Generally, parking on the roadside and in designated parking spaces is permitted as long as your vehicle weighs less than 7.5 tonnes, which all of our campervans for hire in Lübeck are.

However, for the best chances of hassle-free campervan parking in Lübeck, we recommend car parks 2 and 4 in the Lastadie, or the Willy-Brandt-Allee, as the old town is only a short walk away. Just be aware, car park 2 is sometimes reserved for coaches during festivals and events, so it’s worth checking what’s on in the city before heading to this car park.

Whether you want to stay close to the city or explore further afield, hiring a motorhome in Lübeck gives you the freedom to travel wherever the mood takes you. Below, we share some of our favourite campsites located near Lübeck, which offer the perfect starting point for your road trip.
