About Kiel
Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein and Germany's most important naval and maritime city — the home of the German Navy's Baltic fleet, the terminus of the Kiel Canal (the world's busiest artificial waterway, linking the North Sea to the Baltic), and the venue for one of the greatest sailing events in the world, Kiel Week (Kieler Woche), held annually in June and attracting over 3 million visitors for its combination of world-class regatta racing, harbour concerts and the world's largest parade of tall ships. The Kiel Fjord (Kieler Förde) is one of the most naturally beautiful and best-equipped sailing waters in the Baltic.
Kiel's city centre was almost entirely destroyed in WWII bombing and rebuilt in the postwar period, making it architecturally less distinguished than most German cities of comparable history, but the maritime waterfront, the ferry terminals connecting to Scandinavia, and the surrounding Schleswig-Holstein landscape of fjords, lakes, agricultural plains and the Baltic coast give the region great natural appeal. The ferry connections from Kiel to Oslo (Color Line, daily overnight), Gothenburg (Stena Line, daily overnight) and to the Baltic islands are a major hub for Scandinavian travel. The Kiel Canal locks at Holtenau are one of the great spectacles of maritime engineering.
Important Transfer Information
Kiel Week (Kieler Woche): Kiel Week, held annually in the last week of June, is the world's largest sailing event and one of Germany's biggest festivals — over 3 million visitors, 5,000 sailors, 2,000 racing boats, and a programme of harbour concerts, the world's largest tall ship parade (Windjammerparade), and waterfront events. If your visit coincides with Kiel Week, advance booking of accommodation and transfers is essential.
Scandinavian Ferry Connections: Kiel is a major hub for ferry connections to Scandinavia — Color Line operates daily overnight service to Oslo (approximately 20 hours), and Stena Line connects to Gothenburg. If your itinerary includes onward travel to Norway or Sweden, our transfer can deliver directly to the Kiel ferry terminal with timing coordinated to your sailing.
Kiel Canal: The Kiel Canal (Nord-Ostsee-Kanal), opened in 1895, connects the North Sea at Brunsbüttel to the Baltic at Kiel-Holtenau — 98km long, the busiest artificial waterway in the world by vessel count. The canal locks at Holtenau are an extraordinary engineering spectacle, with large ocean-going vessels passing through in a continuous procession.
