The birthplace of marzipan could hold appeal for sweet-loving tourists.
Choosing a holiday destination based on its exports is a common practice - for instance, beer enthusiasts might visit Belgium and those who love tulips might visit the fields or flower shows in the Netherlands.
But those with a sweet tooth might want to schedule a trip to the German town named Lubeck - it is located just outside Hamburg and is the birthplace of the almond-based treat, marzipan.
Jyte Kuhe, international marketing at Lubeck Travemunde Marketing, explained that the region boasts plenty of sightseeing opportunities and could keep people interested in culture entertained.
"It is nice to visit ... it is very historic and it has a historic city centre with nice alleyways and courtyards," she said.
The Unesco World Heritage site is also home to the Holsten Gate, which was a landmark made famous in the Middle Ages.
And "especially nice" is the small urban area built on an island, surrounded by a river. Ms Kuhe stated it is just two kilometres long but holds many attractions that could fill an afternoon or day trip.
Holiday insurance customers arriving in Lubeck between November 3rd and 7th this year could schedule a stop at the Nordic Film Days festival, where movies, documentaries and short films from the north-east and north of Europe are screened.
However, travellers keen on sampling the delights of Germany's towns should do so within the next two years, as ABTA - the travel association - has revealed flights to the nation could be subject to increased aviation tax after 2012.
