Sights to be seen in Hamburg

Hamburg Icons

No question, Hamburg is rich in sights: anyone coming to Hamburg for the first time will not miss the City Hall, Elbphilharmonie and the Landungsbrücken. Many sights are on the way when you go on a free tour with a greeter, and of course we like to look at the most beautiful places and objects together.

Sehenswürdigkeiten: Rathaus Hamburg

Downtown

Hamburg’s city center: not only did everything start here, e.g. with the Hammaburg in the 9th century, this is still our center today, from the Alster and the City Hall over to the Hafencity.

Hamburg Greeter - Landungsbrücken (Landing Bridges)

Maritime

Hamburg and the port – they belong together. Maritime flair can be found in the old harbor, e.g. in the Nikolaifleet and at the Landungsbrücken, as well as in the container bridges of today.

More sights

Indeed: in summer, Hamburgers lie on the Elbe beach in Övelgönne or Blankenese. Or they enjoy the city park and planetarium. In the evening, you can also meet some of them on the Reeperbahn.

Our favorite sights

Elbphilharmonie

Since 2017, the Elbphilharmonie is our new landmark. Even without prior registration, you can enjoy the panoramic view of the harbor and the city.

In Kontorhausviertel

Kontorhausviertel

A hundred years ago hypermodern office architecture, today a World Heritage Site: the Chile House and other buildings worth seeing.

Hamburg City Hall

Town Hall

Built after the Great Fire of 1842 and still the seat of our Senate: standing on thousands of piles, City Hall

Hamburger Speicherstadt

Warehouse district

With the construction of HafenCity, the Speicherstadt was also brought back to life. To a large extent, it is still about tea and carpets.
