Maritime Tour - Port of Hamburg

Go for a walk in the city

Whether tugboat, container ship or cruise giant - there is something for everyone here

Hamburg is unimaginable without its harbour - and not just since the days of Hans Albers, but for more than 8 centuries! Reason enough to celebrate it every year in May with the biggest harbour festival. Start your maritime tour of Hamburg's harbour at the ‘Baumwall’ underground station. Your first stop is St Michael's Church. At 132 metres high, the tower of St. Michael's is the landmark of the Hanseatic city. It is worth climbing its 453 steps. From the top, you have a fabulous view over Hamburg and the harbour. An important means of transport to get to the harbour is the U3 line, Hamburg's oldest underground line.

Those who prefer to explore the harbour first will find impressive ships not far from the Landungsbrücken, such as the Feuerschiff or the Cap San Diego, which tell the story of maritime history. The ELBJAZZ Festival is held every year opposite the Landungsbrücken. If you want to get to the other side of the Elbe, you can use the Elbe ferries or the old Elbe tunnel to cross under the Elbe on foot. Culinary delights are served at the Altona fish market, where every Sunday morning there is a hustle and bustle and everyone wants to get their hands on the freshest fish. Refreshed, you can now stroll along the Elbe to Stilwerk. The restored building of an old malthouse is home to a theme centre for furnishings, design and lifestyle. End your walk through the harbour at DOCKLAND. From the viewing platform of the eye-catching office building, you have an impressive view over the harbour facilities and the Süderelbe.

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!

When the old Elbe Tunnel, also called St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel, opened in 1911, it was a technical sensation. Today, it is a nostalgic and lovingly tended piece of Hamburg history – and has already celebrated its 100th anniversary.
