Highlights
The Hamburg Classic: Experience the grand harbor tour, an uncomplicated way to explore the harbor. On small barges, you'll enter the Speicherstadt (water levels permitting), traverse HafenCity, and then head to the container port and locks. Passing the musical tent and the Elbphilharmonie, you'll proceed directly to the Landungsbrücken. With large passenger ships, you'll explore the entire container port, the Elbe beach, and the fish market, getting an up-close look at the impressive container ships. Cruise ships are a common sight here. We also pass by the "Lion King" musical and the Elbphilharmonie before concluding the journey at the Landungsbrücken. These tours last 1 hour each and are the quintessential way to discover the diverse Hamburg harbor. Seize the opportunity for an unforgettable tour that reflects the dynamic atmosphere of the harbor.

About Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's second city and biggest port, a place of canals, red-brick warehouses, a harbourside concert hall and the Reeperbahn.
Hamburg lies on the Elbe, about a hundred kilometres from the North Sea, and trade made it rich as a Hanseatic city. The Speicherstadt, a district of red-brick warehouses on timber piles beside canals, is listed by UNESCO together with the neighbouring Kontorhaus quarter. Beyond it the Elbphilharmonie concert hall rises from an old warehouse, with a public viewing terrace over the harbour.
Top-ranked sights in Hamburg: Panik City, Elbphilharmonie, Warehouse District (Speicherstadt).
