Aguided walking tour through the Speicherstadt will give you an insight into the urban interaction of the Speicherstadt in direct contact with the new HafenCity and will focus on the history of the former free port district and its present role as part of Hamburg’s UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. It will not only open your eyes to a wide range of details of the unique 19th century red-brick architecture but is also a journey back in time that will make you perceive the authentic atmosphere of the former dockland area. The contrast of nature and technical perfection that complement one another, the power of the tides, the threat of storm-tides, the strength and the skill of the workmen are only some of the themes of the tour. To complete the impression the tour will also include the Speicherstadtmuseum. There are 60-, 90- and 120-minute tours on request. Please contact the Speicherstadtmuseum well in advance to book a guided tour and to get to know about the conditions. Tours are available in English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch and Chinese.

The museum can be rented as a location for your private party or business event after opening hours. Please contact us for further information.
