Kieler Woche
Every year, during the last full week of June, Kiel hosts one of the largest sailing events in the world, a tradition that has been ongoing for over 100 years.
The regattas, held in various international and Olympic boat classes, mostly start in Schilksee – just a 10-minute walk from Bünger’s.
During Kiel Week, the city becomes even more vibrant and international. Music and art are presented on stages around the inner harbor and in the city center. Local restaurants and the International Market in front of the town hall offer a culinary journey around the world.
Several marine and sailing training ships from other nations open their doors for visitors during Open Ship. And, if the weather is right, the Night Glow event lets you experience hot air balloons glowing to the rhythm of music.
