On our tour of this waterside gem, you will discover many famous sights. While the city offers many options for touristic destinations, it doesn't have the hectic and busy feeling of a crowded metropolis. Hamburg is kept in sparkling condition and boasts stunning historical and modern architecture.  The famous trading city is home to places such as Kontorhaus District and Speicherstadt, which are both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We will guide you through the new Hafencity district with the Elbphilharmonie, the landing stages, and much more.

As you walk along, you will become immersed in the history of Speicherstadt and the Port of Hamburg, and have the opportunity to visit multiple museums, such as the International Maritime Museum and Spicy’s Spice Museum. 

And, of course, the tour  includes tips on where to try typical local specialties, because what would Hamburg be without a taste of what the locals enjoy?

With this audio tour we will accompany you across land and water as you familiarize yourself with fascinating Hamburg. On this route, you will visit 21 stations and hear interesting information at each stop. While we have much to cover, with the help of our map, you will always know where you are.

The walking time of the tour is about 1 1/2 hours. But since you are sure to visit one of the museums, take a boat tour, or try some local food, the tour will of course take longer.

As this is your tour, you set the pace and it is entirely up to you to skip stations if you feel you don't have time or if a look from the outside satisfies your curiosity. You are the boss and you determine the best experience for yourself today.

Are you ready for an unforgettable day in Hamburg? Great, let’s go!
