Guided tours through Hamburg's historic Speicherstadt

A guided tour is always the best way to get to know a city. Hamburg is no exception. The red brick buildings in Gothic style are the heart of the city in the far north and can be explored even better with a guided tour.

Hamburg listed the ensemble of over 100-year-old warehouses in 1991, and rightly so. The complex is the largest of its kind in the world and there are sights and museums of the special class here. Any visitor interested in the history of the Speicherstadt should visit the Speicherstadt Museum.

City Tours

No matter whether you want to see classic hotspots like the Rathaus or the Elbphilharmonie, trace the history of the Speicherstadt or get to know the frivolous Kiez - Hamburg's city tours are as colourful and diverse as the city itself.

History you can touch

Most of the exhibits can also be touched here; the fate and everyday life of the workers in earlier times are depicted vividly. Coffee bags, rubber bales and much more can be discovered here. Equally exciting is the Spicys Gewürzmuseum, where you can taste and smell all kinds of exotic spices. This is also interesting for children and almost as exciting as a visit to the Hamburg Dungeon, which offers the right creepy factor for children aged 12 and over. In Dialogue in the Dark, one can experience the world from the perspective of non-sighted people in complete darkness.

Discover sights during a guided tour

If you really want to understand the fascination of the Speicherstadt and the futuristic plans for the HafenCity behind it, entrust yourself to one of the numerous tour organisers. Every Saturday at 3 p.m. (March to October) and every Sunday at 11 a.m. (all year round), the Speicherstadt Museum offers the tour "Speicherstadt - Tradition and Change" including a guided tour of the museum. The meeting point is always in the museum. A particularly interesting option is the night watchman tour with Volker Roggenkamp, which also includes a visit to the Gewürzmuseum (spice museum). Every Saturday at 8.30 p.m. the tour starts at the Kehrwiederspitze exit of the Baumwall subway station.
