Excursions in Hamburg

Hamburg is full of museums, churches and cathedrals, art objects and trendy art galleries. In terms of bridges, there are more of them than in London, Amsterdam, and Venice. Cultural leisure in Germany is harmoniously combined with visiting establishments that serve excellent beer and juicy sausages.

Hamburg Amenities

During a guided tour, you will definitely notice a canal surrounded by red-brick buildings. This is Speicherstadt, the world's largest warehouse district, which was built on wooden stilts between 1883 and 1927.

A tour of Hamburg will not be complete, if you don't visit:

• Elbphilharmonie buildings;
• Hamburger Hafen port;
• Miniatur Wunderland railway models.

An experienced guide will recommend you to visit Kunsthalle, one of the best art galleries in Germany, which contains works of German artists of the 14th century and Dutch masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, as well as wonderful collections of French painting of the 19th century.

Guides take tourists to the heart of the Old City, where stands the majestic neo-Renaissance Town Hall adjacent to the stock exchange (Börse). The center points of the area are Inner Alster (Binnenalster) and Outer Alster (Außenalster). You will find picturesque city squares and pedestrian zones, which are worth a walk in the company of an English-speaking guide.

You can enjoy nature without leaving the city in the Jenisch Haus park. Here you can find shady alleys and take a guided tour of the Jenisch House, a magnificent example of 19th-century neoclassicism. Interior details reflect the design preferences of the middle class from Louis XVI to Art Nouveau.
