This is Lübeck’s mecca for marzipan lovers, the almond confectionery from Arabia that has been made locally for centuries. Even if you’re not buying, the shop’s elaborate seasonal displays are a feast for the eyes. In its small museum, Marzipan-Salon, you’ll learn that in medieval Europe marzipan was considered medicine, not a treat. At the back there’s an elegant cafe.
