An annual FolkBaltic festival devoted to the traditional music of the Baltic region is held in the city in April. During the festival, famous musicians from different countries visit the city.
Tourists who visit Flensburg in the warm season, should definitely take a stroll through the city’s parks and squares. The largest and most beautiful is the City Park, founded over a hundred years ago. It is notable for the variety of incredible landscape decorations. You can also enjoy several symbolic monuments. In the center of the park is a monument to General Karl von Wrangel, installed here in 1903.
