🇩🇪 Lübeck: A Fairytale Retirement Dream Come True 🏰🍫

My first visit to this Baltic gem left me utterly charmed—imagine retiring where medieval spires meet sea breezes and marzipan-scented streets! Here’s why it stole my heart: 🍫 Sweet Discoveries Niederegger Chocolate Shop: Tried their legendary Nusskuchen (nut cake) – tangy-sweet perfection! Pro tip: Pair with black coffee to cut the richness ☕ (€5-8/slice, wallet-friendly!) Left with just one chocolate bar (those €12 truffles hurt my soul 💸) 🌦️ Weather Whims Baltic cool: Even in summer, pack a light jacket (drizzles roll in fast!) Magic hour: Twilight turns the red-brick alleys golden 🌆 🚶‍♀️ Slow Living Vibes Canalside benches: Watch swans glide past 13th-century warehouses Holstentor at dawn: Have the leaning towers all to yourself Local secret: Fleamarket at Koberg square (Saturdays only!) #Lübeck #GermanFairytale #SlowTravel #RetirementGoals
