DEICHSTRASSE

Meet your guide in front of the terrace of Starbucks Mönckebergstraße, before you set off to explore Hamburg's historic old town. Here, you will see the magnificent 19th-century neo-renaissance Town Hall, which was built when the city's fortune was at its pinnacle. As you explore the historic Deichstrasse and its medieval building, you will learn how the Great Fire wreaked havoc in the old town. See the era-defining red brick ‘Kontor House’ buildings and the former St. Nikolai Church. One of Europe's finest specimens of neo-gothic architecture, the tower now serves as a memorial for the scores of victims of the allied air raids during World War II. For the last leg of the tour, you will explore Speicherstadt. Commonly known as Warehouse District, the area is replete with beautiful warehouses that once stored goods such as tea, sugar, and spices. Today, the area is counted not only among Hamburg's, but also the country's trendiest districts! The conclusion of the tour will take you to the shining jewel in Hamburg's crown, the glorious concert hall known as Elbphilharmonic.
