Kiel, the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, is renowned for its historic maritime significance and the Kiel Canal, which begins here and stretches 60 scenic miles, linking the Baltic and North Seas. Although the city suffered heavy bombing during World War II, it has retained much of its medieval charm, with historic buildings, vibrant markets, and a rich seafaring heritage.
