On this interesting tour you get to see 3 of the most fascinating sights in Hamburg: St. Michael’s Church, the Old Elbe Tunnel, and the harbor.
St. Michael’s Church is lovingly called “Michel” by the Hamburg residents and is the youngest of the 5 main churches in the city. Admire 3 of the 5 organs, the largest church clock in Germany, and the impressive bell tower. Enjoy the breathtaking views from the observation deck, which you can access by walking or by lift (optional). Check out the widow homes from the 17th century behind the church in the Krayenkamp, the last remaining examples of typical courtyard buildings in Hamburg.
You then walk through the Portuguese quarter in the direction of St. Pauli Landungsbrücken. Here you can see the two ships by the shore: Rickmer Rickmers and Cap San Diego. While the hustle and bustle of Landungsbrücken invites you to linger for a while, you continue on to the Old Elbe Tunnel.
Climb down the stairs in the over 100-year old construction or take the elevator. Depending on the time remaining, you’ll go under the River Elbe to Steinwerder, where you can enjoy the wonderful panoramic view over the city of Hamburg.
Our recommendation if you love organ music: join a 20 minutes organ concert at noon Monday till Friday at St. Michaelis church. We can start our tour directly after the concert at 12:30
