Tour description
Hamburg is Germany's proud 'Gateway to the World', a wealthy port city of canals, red-brick warehouses and cool maritime swagger. With more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam combined, it is a city made for walking, and on this tour a local guide reveals both its historic heart and its reinvented waterfront.
You will admire the palatial city hall, wander the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt warehouse district, and hear the stories of merchants, sailors and musicians – from the Hanseatic League to the Beatles' early days. Confident, elegant and full of water, Hamburg is one of Germany's most rewarding cities to discover on foot.
