Our top 3 sights in Hamburg

As mentioned at the beginning, Hamburg is a particularly diverse city with a lot to offer. Here's our top pick of Hamburg's attractions:

1. Harbor tour – Hamburg harbor, Speicherstadt, Elbphilharmonie:

You should definitely take a trip on a small barge from the Landungsbrücken. The Speicherstadt, the Elbphilharmonie, and the harbor are even more impressive from the water than from land. The interesting stories told by the witty captains make it entertaining and informative. Once you're back on dry land, it's worth walking through the Speicherstadt. It's crisscrossed by small canals, and thanks to the many bridges, it's often referred to as "Little Venice." Since its completion in 2017, the Elbphilharmonie has been the Hanseatic city's new landmark. The futuristic architecture is impressive; depending on the direction or angle from which you view the Elbphilharmonie, it looks completely different. A visit to the Elbphilharmonie Plaza is free and worthwhile because of the magnificent view of the harbor.

2. Reeperbahn Tour

An absolute must-do is a neighborhood tour of the St. Pauli entertainment district. The "Great Reeperbahn Tour" by the "Kiezjungs" is particularly worth mentioning and highly recommended. These two are true Hamburg locals and impress with their authentic flair. They also offer a wealth of background information about the neighborhood and witty anecdotes. Their party tips and dining recommendations are also helpful.

3. Climb to the Michel

The Protestant St. Michael's Church, known to everyone simply as Michel, is one of Hamburg's most famous landmarks. This baroque church, located near the Landungsbrücken (landing bridges), is considered one of the most beautiful churches in Northern Germany. The church tower's observation deck is particularly popular with tourists. At a height of approximately 82 meters, visitors enjoy a wonderful view of the Elbe River and the rest of the Hanseatic city. Those who don't feel up to the 452 steps can also take the elevator. The climb to the top of the tower costs about €5, which is well worth the investment. Many say it's the most beautiful view in the entire city.
