Moin moin! Join one of our expert guides and discover Hamburg’s highlights today! This 2-2.5 hour walking tour will take you through over 1200 years of history in Germany’s largest port city. From a fort on a hill to one of the the world’s wealthiest cities, Hamburg is a city full of stories.
On this journey through Hamburg’s historic old town you’ll take in the stunning 19th Century neo-renaissance Town Hall, built at the peak of Hamburg’s fortune. As we delve deeper into history of this free city state we will visit the charming historic Deichstrasse with it’s medieval buildings, and learn how the Great Fire ravaged the old town. Here we will also look at Hamburg’s era-defining red brick ‘Kontor House’ buildings. We too will have the chance to explore the former St. Nikolai Church, once one of the finest examples of neo-gothic architecture in Europe, the tower now stands as a memorial for the tens of thousands of victims of the allied air raids of World War Two.
Our tour will finish in the Speicherstadt commonly known as the Warehouse District, not only the most beautiful corner of town, but Hamburg’s first UNESCO World Heritage site! Here we will see the gorgeous warehouses that once stored tea, coffee, sugar, spices and much much more. The former warehouses now make up one of the trendiest districts in the country, let alone Hamburg! The jewel in the crown is of course Hamburg’s shining new concert hall, the Elbphilharmonic, where we will end the tour.
Your adventure begins in front of the terrace of Starbucks Mönckebergstraße – just look out for the blue Original Hamburg Walks umbrellas. See you there!
