Hamburg, the elegant Hanseatic city of the North

Meet your hand selected driver-guide to further discuss your interests for the day before getting started. Depart your hotel for a half day of exploring Hamburg, the famous 800 year old Hanseatic port city, the second largest port in Europe after Rotterdam

Pass the container and cargo terminals of the "Speicherstadt," the late 19th century warehouses located on the canals between the Deichtorhallen and the former market halls. Built at the turn of the century in the red brick style typical of northern Germany, with gabled roofs and small towers, ‘Speicherstadt’, is the largest warehouse complex still in operation in the world

Drive by one of Hamburg’s most amazing office buildings, the famous 20`s ‘Chilehaus’, whose elegant expressionistic brick façade refers to the form of a ship. Dramatically illuminated at night, the ‘Chilehaus’ adds an elegant touch to the skyline of the city

Afterwards, drive along Inner Alster Lake and the main shopping and financial area before reaching the Outer Alster Lake, one of Hamburg's finest residential areas which is surrounded by a lovely promenade and elegant villa gardens

See the impressive Elbphilharmonic hall, designed by the star architect team Herzog & de Meuron and inaugurated as Hamburg´s main concert hall in the year 2017. Immediately pet named “Elphi” it quickly became Hamburg´s cultural monument

Then, continue touring the city center with its mixture of modern and historic architecture, the ruins of St. Nicolai, St. Peter's Church and the incredible old City Hall, built in Neo-Renaissance style, as well as the Reeperbahn of St. Pauli, one of the world's largest red-light districts

Time permitting attend a short organ recital at 12:00 noon at the baroque St. Michael´s Church, the emblem and landmark of Hamburg
