Hertz Car Rental in Flensburg
The rustic port city of Flensburg lies in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, around four miles from the Danish border. It sits alongside the Flensburg Fjord, an idyllic inlet to the west of the Baltic Sea which frames the city. Flensburg was under Danish rule for 400 years, and traces of this culture remain in the city today. Flensburg is also home to an eclectic array of shops, signature cuisine, a great selection of museums and is famous for being one of the most important ports for the rum trade. The city is spread out across 21 square miles, so the easiest way to get around is to hire a car in Flensburg.
Experience some of the city’s culture with a stroll along the Kapitänsweg on the banks of the Fjord, taking in the beautifully handcrafted dinghies and maritime history at the Lüttfischerhafen. A couple of streets over is the Museumsberg Flensburg, which exhibits Schleswig-Holstein history and art. Enjoy the city’s old town with a trip to its largest square, the Südermarkt and walk down the Rote Strasse to enjoy some of Flensburg’s beautiful merchant architecture at the Kaufmanshofe. During the festive period, the city and its port is ablaze with light and holiday cheer. Meanwhile for a taste of Denmark, rent a car from Flensburg to explore South Jutland, just across the border.
