Kiel Maritime Museum Fish Market & Museum Bridge

5 Hersh Lulla - 9 months ago

Spent a couple of hours here. It's near the port and the view from outside the museum overlooking the sea is quite nice.

The museum exhibits speak to Kiel's rich maritime history and their tag of being Sailing City. Lots of great images and factoids, in German and English. Some of the exhibits provided exceptional insights into Kiel's role in maritime growth and development of technologies that furthered ocean exploration. There's also snippets of Kiel's role in the Olympic Games over the years, especially for sailing events. A short, but must visit attraction in Kiel! It's not very big but there is a lot to see and admire in this very well kept museum space.

Entry is 4€ and there's lockers available to keep your backpacks. No restrictions on taking photos at the museum itself.

You can buy some really cool postcards before you leave the museum and these have exceptional print quality! Would surely recommend picking up a few, at just about €1 per card.

There's a cute cafe at the exit, where you can catch a break too.

This fascinating museum has free entrance. All exhibits have English translations. It is beautifully laid out and very interesting and informative. I highly recommend you take the time to visit. But don't be in a hurry as there is a lot to see. A restaurant is next door.

There isn't much to do in Kiel other than a couple of old churches and shopping so make sure you stop by this museum. Free to enter but donations are welcomed. Gives a glimpse into Kiels rich connection to the sea and maritime traditions. It was the fish market when it was first built in the early 1900s. Across the waterway is an active navy base.

Beautiful little place

A nice little museum (actually bigger than it looks from the outside). The exhibition contains photos and items from different periods of history - e.g., it was nice to get to know a little about the Olympics of 1972 in Kiel. There are some model ships and marine paintings. I'd recommend to visit it - the entrance is free, but there's an option of donation or you can buy postcards or books.

Fantastic view of the harbour, and cruise ships moving in and out. You could watch the same sipping beer at the restaurant at Maritime Museum.
