The most notable region in the historical perspective is the region of Laboe; the World War II submarine is the main object of interest here. Not far from the iconic place where submarine rests, a beautiful memorial was found. The Kiel Canal, opened in the late 19th century, remains the undisputable symbol of the city. The length of the canal is 99 kilometers; every year it hosts the largest sailing regatta in the world.
While strolling along the promenade along the canal, you can admire ancient ships and submarines; every excursion requires walk through the port area. Be sure to visit the Christian Albrecht University of Kiel, which is one of the most famous in Germany. It was founded in 1664 and was named after its founder - Duke Christian Albrecht, whose name it has being bearing for more than three hundred years. The oldest building of the university is located in an old convent; the construction of new buildings began only a hundred years after the opening of the school.
Today the large-scale architectural complex is surrounded by an extensive parkland. Not far from the University the Botanical Garden is located; it was opened in 1688. University staff was directly involved in setting out the garden. Today it assembles one of the richest collections of exotic flowers and plants in the country. Guests will enjoy a huge number of museums and theaters, which are strongly recommended to be included in the entertainment program.
