3-hour culinary city tour through Hamburg’s new, pioneering district on the Elbe: HafenCity.
The tour starts with your cheerful tour guide in the heart of HafenCity. From here you have a great view of the Cruise Center HafenCity. We then stroll towards Überseequartier and the first tasting is waiting to surprise you.
During the tour through the unique Speicherstadt you will find out why the historic warehouse complex is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Most of the warehouses were finished in 1888 and were used to store goods. We then pass the former customs canal and cross one or two of the numerous bridges. Let yourself be captivated by the unique Speicherstadt with its characteristic, neo-Gothic brick warehouses. Then a hidden courtyard awaits you, where we hear exciting stories about Hamburg originals. With so much information, your appetite can be satisfied with a visit to a restaurant.
Finally, we take the 82 meter long, slightly curved escalator up to Elbphilharmonie Plaza. Accompany the tour guide to the Störtebeker Bistro on the Plaza and enjoy the unique view over the harbor and the city. You will be amazed by the atmosphere of Hamburg’s new landmark! You will be surprised by the many data and facts that the tour guide tells you about this fascinating building. You will be provided with great insider knowledge, receive information about the acoustics and architecture of the impressive Elbphilharmonie and be told how the concert hall’s construction delays came about. Together with you, your tour guide will weigh up the advantages and disadvantages of this construction project. As a conclusion of the tour you will try typical Hamburg specialty.
