Hamburg Historic Walking Tour and Exploration

On our walking tour we start at Hamburg City Hall, discover hidden clues on the facade and in the foyer. In the courtyard of honour we learn the secret of the fountain from 1896. At the Chamber of Commerce building we take ourselves back to 1841 and talk about the Goßen Brand. At the memorial St.Nikolai we learn the history of this former church, which was built in the 2nd century.World War II went down in the firestorm.
In the historic Deichstraße we look at some of the oldest houses in the city from the street and the water side and think our way into medieval Hamburg. Crossing the bridge over the customs canal we reach the Speicherstadt and then the Hafencity. With a view of the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg's second landmark since 2016, our tour ends today.
