Highlights

Hamburg Town Hall - We can only visit this imposing building in the city center from the outside, as there are guided tours of the building. You can also tell the story from the outside.
St. Petri Kirche - The oldest church in the city has passed all the adversities of time
Domplatz - Where was the cathedral? What happened? Was it stolen by evil Vikings? Has it been burned? You will discover it on the tour
Trostbrucke - Was it a comfort when the death row was acquitted here, or is it possible that the name comes for another reason? This and much more you will learn at this stop
St. Nikolai Memorial - Here you will find out what the Second World War meant for Hamburg
Deichstrasse - You feel the eighteenth century with every step you take on this street. Beautiful buildings from other times are still preserved here.
Speicherstadt - A huge construction project is almost destroyed in World War II, but today it shines again with all its splendor. Also in this case, the rule is: some things can be seen, others can only be counted.
Elbphilharmonie - Even today, many people in Hamburg still see this building with ambiguous feelings. But this has to do mainly with its history. It’s awesome anyway
Hopfenmarkt - Here we discover the secrets of Hamburg’s beer and the city’s breweries and learn how hamburgers keep a secret.

Hamburg City Hall (Rathaus) is a stunning neo-Renaissance edifice, symbolizing the city’s prosperity and authority.
