Welcome to
Kiel.Sailing.City.
Moin - that's how we greet each other here in the north. We fishermen sometimes like to have a chat, but let's be honest, who needs big words when you're at, in or on the sea? There's nothing better than sitting on the beach or in the harbour, enjoying the peace and quiet and watching passing ships. Soak up the Kiel feeling and come to Kiel.Sailing.City!
Overnight stay at the Kiel Fjord
What's happening on the Kiel Fjord
Ice skating until 18 January
The Stadtwerke Eisfestival
Take to the ice and enjoy an unforgettable winter evening! The Stadtwerke Ice Festival invites young and old alike to glide elegantly across the ice, compete against each other in curling or simply sit with friends over a hot drink in the ‘Kajüte’. At the EisDISCO, the ice rink becomes a dance floor, and for very special moments, children's birthday parties or company celebrations can be planned in heated event rooms.
