Travemünde Germany -This full day tour of Hamburg includes the top sites with interior visits to St. Michael's Church and the Kramer Amtsstuben. You also enjoy an Elbe River boat cruise and free time for lunch / shopping.

Hamburg is Germany’s second largest metropolis and one of Europe’s biggest ports. Elegant and cosmopolitan, Hamburg is now a city of palatial office buildings, magnificent promenades and extravagant shopping malls – plus the famous Reeperbahn in St. Pauli. The magical aura of “far-away places” is still alive in the Warehouse Quarter with its little canals. Hamburg is also Germany’s greenest city with its many spacious lawns and parks.

After meeting your guide you will embark on a panoramic tour which gives you the opportunity to see the highlights of this bustling city such as the City Hall, Germany’s oldest Stock Exchange, the “Speicherstadt”, (the century old warehouse quarter which was built in Gothic redbrick architecture and houses fine spices, coffee and tea from all over the world), as well as the “Jungfernstieg”, one of the elegant and luxury shopping areas. Your tour will also take you around the “Aussen-Alster”, which is one of the top addresses in Hamburg and includes elegant private residences, numerous consulates and renowned businesses.

Free time is included to enjoy a typical German lunch and / or to do some shopping. If you prefer, we can arrange a lunch for your private group.

Your tour will also include a visit to the “St. Michael’s Church”, which was destroyed a number of times in the past, but then always reconstructed. Also known as the “Michel” by the locals, this church is the largest North German Baroque church and is Hamburg’s main landmark. Continue walking across to the “Kramer Amts Stuben”, which was an earlier form of widow housing and take a leisurely stroll through this small district.

This afternoon will drive past the “St. Pauli Landungsbruecken”, where the old sailing vessels used to dock and then continue your journey along the world famous “Reeperbahn”, where at the beginning of the 17th century the “Reepers” made rigs. Nowadays this street together with the “Grosse Freiheit” and “Herbert Strasse” are referred to as “the mile of sin” and are a well know attraction worldwide as ‘The Beatles’ began their career in 1962 here too.

Afterwards you will be returned to the pier and your awaiting ship.
