Kiel Maritime Museum Fish Market & Museum Bridge — Attraction in Kiel

Spent a couple of hours here. It's near the port and the view from outside the museum overlooking the sea is quite nice.

The museum exhibits speak to Kiel's rich maritime history and their tag of being Sailing City. Lots of great images and factoids, in German and English. Some of the exhibits provided exceptional insights into Kiel's role in maritime growth and development of technologies that furthered ocean exploration. There's also snippets of Kiel's role in the Olympic Games over the years, especially for sailing events. A short, but must visit attraction in Kiel! It's not very big but there is a lot to see and admire in this very well kept museum space.

Entry is 4€ and there's lockers available to keep your backpacks. No restrictions on taking photos at the museum itself.

You can buy some really cool postcards before you leave the museum and these have exceptional print quality! Would surely recommend picking up a few, at just about €1 per card.

There's a cute cafe at the exit, where you can catch...

This museum is boring. Yeah, it's free, but I'd rather spend 5€ to get in if it meant I wasn't going to be bored to near tears. It's technically the ship museum for Kiel, but is also kind of the history of Kiel museum. It doesn't mesh the two topics very well, which is pretty absurd because Kiel is a shipping and ship-building city.

I've been to loads of other Schifffahrtsmuseen all over northern Germany, and all of them have been miles away from Kiel in terms of better presentation, better layout, and presenting it in a way that gets you excited about history!

For example, did you know Albert Einstein liked to spend his free time in Kiel, before fleeing to the United States? Well, you'll be able to read a couple of sentences about it here, but that's it.

The café is possibly the most exciting part, and I haven't...

If I have to describe this place in three words, they would be: small, cozy, comprehensive. Since the museum is dedicated to the city of Kiel, it does not try to show everything related to seafaring, which is very good. Specific exhibits related to Kiel and its maritime history are comfortably arranged, and for those who like to delve deeper, accurately collected and conveniently accessible information is presented as well. You can also see unique exhibits, such as the remains of a two-seater submarine. The museum is worth a visit even if you don't have much time, as it is located in the city center and is therefore easily accessible on foot. At the same time, due to its size, it is easily bypassed in more than an hour. Another advantage - the...
