The City Hall is an indelible part of Kiel’s skyline thanks to its 106-metre tower.
When this Art Nouveau edifice was constructed during the 1900s it was actually in the suburbs to the west of the Old Town.
One look at the tower and you’ll know where the idea came from, as it bears a striking resemblance to St Mark’s Campanile in Venice.
At the time of writing this post the tower was closed for refurbishment, but ordinarily it welcomes visitors for tours of the Art Nouveau interiors and up to the observation platform at 67 metres.
