It's a really picturesque area and if you’re looking for postcard-perfect photo ops, this is where you’ll find them. You have the weeping willows swaying next to the river, you can see buildings in a variety of architectural styles all standing next to each other, and the bridge is covered in love locks.
The best way to get to Lüneburg is by train. It's approximately a 30-minute train ride from Hamburg Hauptbahnhof to Lüneburg on the RE (Regional Express) for about €12.
