Itinerary

HafenCity

Passing by

After getting to know the old warehouse district, continue by foot to Hamburg’s HafenCity, and see the building that many Hamburgers consider to be the ‘best office building in the world.’ Then, visit the district’s enormous harbor, where some of the world's largest yachts have been spotted. Luxury vessels, such as the Queen Mary 2 and Russian businessman Roman Abramovich’s superyacht Eclipse, are regularly seen here.

Soak up the views along the River Elbe and over the harbor, and then stroll back to the start point where your tour ends.
