Hamburg sightseeing highlights. The best sights to see in Hamburg!

Get to know Hamburg from all its fascinating sides on a sightseeing tour. Germany’s second largest city is a cultural and media metropolis, notorious for its amusement mile in the St. Pauli district, a mecca for fans of modern architecture and at the same time a city with centuries of Hanseatic tradition.
On our classic guided tour of the city, follow in the tracks of the ups and downs that the proud Hanseatic city has experienced in its 1000-year history. Hear how the city, which has been destroyed several times by wars, epidemics and fires, has constantly changed its face thanks to the tireless efforts of Hamburg’s merchants and citizens. On this sightseeing tour of Hamburg, you will see the Italian-style Alster arcades, the town hall and Jungfernstieg and the beautiful Hanseatic trading houses on Deichstrasse, the backs of which have direct access to the canals.

On a sightseeing tour, you can also explore Hamburg from its most modern side. Experience some of the outstanding examples of modern architecture such as the Elbphilharmonie or the Unileverhaus, a showpiece in terms of sustainable architecture, on our HafenCity architecture tour. In addition to the sightseeing tour of the most spectacular buildings in HafenCity, you will also learn the background to how the city planners designed a new district on the site of the old free port, which will increase Hamburg’s urban area by 40 % after its completion, and how HafenCity is responding to the demands of the new millennium.

A sightseeing tour of the Port of Hamburg should be part of every visit to Hamburg. Die-hard landlubbers can enjoy the view of the container terminals on the opposite bank of the river Elbe on our “Landgang Hafenkante” city tour. For sea dogs and all those who want to become one, we recommend our harbor tours, which take place several times a day and lead through the listed Speicherstadt warehouse district past the spectacular Hafencity to the gigantic modern port facilities.
