About Bootshafen
- Event Location
The Bootshafen in Kiel, situated at Am Wall, stands as a charming harbor spot in the city's core. Forming part of the old city moat, this 4,200-square-meter triangular water basin delivers a serene nautical vibe amid the bustling Old Town. Guests relish views of cruise ships and boats gliding in and out, capturing the essence of Kiel's maritime heritage.
Positioned south of the Old Town and west of the Swedish Quay, it invites leisurely strolls along the Kiel Fjord. Fully accessible with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, it's welcoming to everyone. Family-oriented and kid-friendly, the site suits outings of all kinds. Amenities include restrooms, and payments accept debit and credit cards. Open around the clock, Bootshafen serves as a versatile hub for walks, photo ops, or waterfront relaxation. Close to the main harbor, it blends sea breezes with urban energy seamlessly.
