Top Sights in Hamburg
There’s no question about it, Hamburg is rich in sights. Anyone who comes to Hamburg for the first time will want to visit the City Hall< /a> with Rathausmarkt and Jungfernstieg, the Elbphilharmonie in the new Hafencity and the < a href="/maritime/landungsbruecken/">Landungsbrücken in St. Pauli cannot be missed. In this district alone you can still see the Old Elbe Tunnel from 1911, the Reeperbahn with the Große Freiheit, the FC St.Pauli stadium and the “Hamburger Dom” fun fair three times a year. And on Sundays, the fish market.
The Kontorhausviertel and the Speicherstadt have been given the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015 for their extraordinary architecture. Historic tall ships and cargo ships await visitors in the port, at the same time more than 250 cruise ship calls are expected in 2024 alone and the sight of giant container freighters on the Elbe is part of everyday life.
Many sights are along the way when we travel with guests on a free greeter tour, and of course we are happy to look at the most beautiful places and objects with you.
City Centre
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.
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.
And more
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.
Kontorhausviertel
A hundred years ago hypermodern office architecture, today a World Heritage Site: the Chile House and other buildings worth seeing.
Rathaus
After the Great Fire of 1842, Hamburg City Hall was built at its current location – on thousands of piles. Parliament and Senate have their headquarters here.
Speicherstadt
The Speicherstadt is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s still about tea and carpets there. With the construction of HafenCity, it was brought back to life.
