Zollkanal Canal between the city centre and UNESCO Speicherstadt

© Mediaserver Hamburg / Andreas Vallbracht

The Zollkanal, which was developed into a shipping canal at the end of the 19th century, flows along the northern edge of the Speicherstadt. The rich history and maritime character of the Hanseatic city is reflected along the Zollkanal.

The historic buildings with their red brick façades in the Speicherstadt tell of times gone by and bear witness to the importance of the port of Hamburg as a historic trading hub. The Kibbelsteg leads over the customs canal and is an excellent photo spot.

The main church at Klosterstern. St. Nikolai

St. Nikolai - the name represents an extremely changeful church history. The principal church of St. Nikolai was built during the time of the settlement of the new city in the 12th century, and by 1353 had been extended to become a triple naved basilica in the Gothic style - it was then completely destroyed in the Great Fire of Hamburg in 1842.

Hamburg Michel St. Michaelis Church

Hamburg has many large churches - but only one "Michel": On its platform 106 metres high, there is a fabulous (and breezy) view of Hamburg, the port and the surrounding countryside - one that should not be missed!
