Cathedral Square

It's a must for every first-time visitor to Hamburg! Start your route from Hamburg City Hall – the seat of the Hamburg government. Enjoy yourself in the Alsterarkaden shopping arcade and the upscale shopping street Neuer Wall. Be inspired by Hamburg's historical birthplace, Domplatz. Do you know what it means for the city? The center is both a historical site and a shopping paradise! Together with your professional local guide, you will explore the city's most interesting places and learn fascinating facts.

On this private tour, you have the opportunity to enjoy the UNESCO World Heritage Site in a completely private setting with us. We will start our walk through Hamburg's history at Hammaburg Platz, Hamburg's birthplace and nursery, and learn how Hamburg got its name. Afterwards, we will continue our tour through Hamburg's Kontorhausviertel, the former center of Hamburg's merchants, and its brick office buildings. We will take a look under the skirt of the prima ballerina of the office buildings. We will critically examine the founding charter of our port and discover one or two contradictions. We will walk on into the Speicherstadt, dive into the red brick canyons and their stories, clarify what Westphalia has to do with Hamburg and why workers lived in a castle there. We will find out what Schutenschupser and Ewerführer actually did and why there are coffee barons and Persians in Hamburg.
