Hamburg is a city that embraces its maritime side. Famous for having the largest port in Europe, it was instrumental in the rise of the Hanseatic League, a guild of merchants that brought prosperity to the northern shores of Europe. Along the shores of the Elbe, the buildings witnessed history in the making and are being made today, like the famous Elbe Philharmonic Hall.
Now it’s your turn to discover its treasures and explore the diversity in a walking tour that covers all the main highlights of the riverside. We will see the towering heights of St. Michael’s church, touch the finger of the small Zitronenjette statue, and pass the park on Venusberg for a great view over the river. We will go underwater but you will not get wet, enjoy the southern Mediterranean flair of the Portuguese quarter and be surprised by the Scandinavian-style churches. This and much more will be part of an unforgettable tour of the Elba riverside of Hamburg.
