Join a local guide on the streets of Hamburg. Discover the rich history and culture of one of the largest port cities in the world. Explore its top attractions, architectural masterpieces, prestigious entertainment venues, and hundreds of rivers, canals, and bridges. Fall in love with Hamburg!
Your 2-hour walking tour begins in the heart of Hamburg’s Old Town, at the Rathausmarkt. Admire the richly decorated Neo-Renaissance Town Hall and Alsterarkaden, the 19th-century Venetian-style shopping arcade along the waterfront of one of Hamburg’s thousands of rivers and canals.
Take a stroll towards the Thalia Theatre while listening to the city's fascinating history, from the medieval Hanseatic League, through a free imperial city, to a renowned industrial centre. Step inside St. Paul’s Church and admire its medieval architecture and artworks, such as the lion-head door handles. The final stop of this tour will be at Chilehouse, the 1922 brick expressionist building shaped like an ocean liner.
Choose the 3-hour option to extend the walking route to Speicherstadt - the City of Warehouses. It is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations and oak logs above the water canals.
The unique architecture and views are so good that the district became the first site in Hamburg to be awarded the status of UNESCO World Heritage site. Immerse yourself in its history and see the Columbus House and the most recent addition to the city’s architectural masterpieces - the Elbphilharmonie.
Opt for the 4-hour tour to hear more historical facts, cultural anecdotes, and urban legends! See the historic St. Nikolai Memorial, which commemorates the church destroyed in air raids. Learn about the city’s significant role in WWII as an industrial centre and the devastating Bombing of Hamburg.
You'll also get to visit St. Michael's Church. Admire its beautiful Baroque interiors, the expensive marble pulpit and altar, and the St. Michael's Victory over the Devil sculpture, and hear local legends.
The 6-hour tour includes tickets to the St. Peter's Church Tower – the highest venture point in Hamburg, and more highlights of the historic port on the Elbe River.
Take a stroll along Reeperbahn Street, known as Hamburg’s red-light district with the best nightclubs and bars. See the St. Pauli Kirche and St. Pauli Fish Market, where the Soviet U-434 submarine is moored, and stroll along the Landungsbrücken promenade.
Your private guide, who is a master storyteller, will share interesting stories about the harbour, the Elbe Tunnel, and the Rickmer Rickmers. We also provide tickets for a guided tour of the museum ship Rickmer Rickmers, so you can hear the storey of Hamburg’s floating landmark.
