Best Luxury Hotels In Flensburg

Found in the far north of Germany, Flensburg has been subject to many different influences. Both Danish and German are spoken, along with the city’s own dialect, locally known as Petuh. As it’s located on a Fjord, it has a sailing community, a Maritime Museum, a port with a naval academy, beaches, steamboats and plenty of places to wild swim. The old town restoration project has been widely admired, revealing beautiful buildings and encouraging the growth of cafe culture, boutiques and restaurants. And there’s a lush forest for peaceful walks and picnics. These are our hotel recommendations for a stay in Flensburg.
