Airline Tickets to Kiel

Kiel is one of the most densely populated cities in northern Germany (about 250,000 residents). It is the capital of the Schleswig-Holstein state and, located on the Baltic coast, it is one of the most significant ports in Europe. Lots of interesting sailing events take place here on an annual basis.

Its location on the Baltic shore facilitates its connection with Scandinavian and Baltic States and Russia by sea. Kiel is Germany's major shipbuilding and sea transport center, and it concentrates a large share of national high-tech military. As long as Kiel bore a strategic industrial meaning for the third Reich before and during World War II, it became a much-craved-for target for anti-Hitler coalition troops and was bombed heavily. About 80% of the city was destroyed. Unfortunately, the war took about 80% of its beautiful historic buildings.
