Lübeck Blankensee Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Lübeck Blankensee has had scheduled flights again since summer 2025, with Ryanair to Mallorca, Malaga and London Stansted after years of charter-only traffic. The terminal has its own station, less than 10 minutes by train from Lübeck's central station. From there, those heading for the sea continue on to Travemünde, the city's seaside resort on the Baltic, reachable in about 35-40 minutes by train with a change or 25-30 minutes by car from the airport: it's along its promenade and in its thermal spa area that the properties in this guide are found.

Best for: Travemünde's beach and lighthouse just steps away, in a classic seaside hotel.

Pros

Travemünde's lighthouse and beach promenade just minutes on foot
