Places to visit on the Baltic Sea for days away from the beach: museums, nature, towns and family attractions by region.
Every year, the Baltic Sea coast is the setting for major cultural and maritime events attended by hundreds of thousands of Baltic Sea holidaymakers and day-trippers. Highlights include Kiel Week, Hanse Sail, Travemünde Week and Warnemünde Week, as well as the Störtebeker Festival in Ralswiek on Rügen, the Vineta Festival in Zinnowitz on Usedom, and the Usedom Music Festival.
The extraordinary diversity of nature around the Baltic Sea makes it a valuable region and holiday destination. Natural features are often a deciding factor when choosing the Baltic as a holiday destination, whether it’s the sandy beaches of the Baltic coast in Germany, Poland, Denmark and southern Sweden, the skerry coasts of Sweden and Finland, the rocky shores of the Gulf of Bothnia, the shifting dunes and spits of Poland, or the unspoilt beaches of the Baltic states.
The therapeutic climate of the Baltic Sea draws millions of holidaymakers to its shores every year. It is no coincidence that coastal areas are probably the world’s most popular holiday destinations. Alongside the obvious reasons—the feeling of standing face to face with the “elements”—this may also reflect human nature’s innate desire for well-being, that is, for the external conditions most conducive to good health.
The Baltic Sea holiday region is very easy to reach by car, train and plane. Ferries take holidaymakers across the Baltic Sea to Scandinavia and the Baltic States. Sightseeing cruises, historic railways and scenic flights add to the range of excursions.
