Both districts share historic stories about office clerks, money counting tables, paternoster as well as outstanding architecture.

Spectacular warehouses, red bricks, canals, rope winches and a new city on the waterfront – experience the UNESCO world heritage site Kontorhausviertel with the famous Chilehaus and the impressive warehouses of the Speicherstadt on this guided city walk. Our walk leads us through three prominent quarters of the city that underline Hamburg’s dynamic development.
