I’m really excited to interview Tim Grossmann of the Explo App about Kiel, Germany. Tim’s tips for the best things to do in Kiel are awesome because he moved to Kiel three years ago after living abroad and loves how incredible summertime is because of its proximity to water.

Getting around Kiel
Tim says the best option is to fly into Hamburg Airport (HAM), then take either a car or the train to Kiel. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Tim says you can get where you need to go by renting a bike or e-scooter. Parking is extremely difficult, so he doesn’t recommend renting a car. Uber and Lyft are excellent ways to get around if you need to go longer distances.
