**Lüneburg: The Stintmarkt**

At the Stintmarkt (English: Smelt Market) – as the name already
indicates – smelt was mainly traded. So-called "smelt" is a small,
herring-like fish, which was a particular favourite in the Middle Ages.

Today Lüneburg's biggest collection of bars is to be found in the street. Here
you can have a beer sitting right next to the Ilmenau, the river that wends its
way through **.** On warm summer evenings the Stintmarkt
has quite a Mediterranean feel about it. In summer, both locals and tourists
sit until late next to the steps to the river enjoying the lovely atmosphere
and the view of the old crane.
