Hamburg Highlights: Bismarck to the Speicherstadt

What's the walk about?

Welcome to Hamburg, Germany's great port city-state, where civic splendour meets the salt-tang of the sea. This walk begins beneath the colossal granite Bismarck Monument and leads you to the baroque Michel, the tiny bronze Zitronenjette, and Deichstraße, the city's oldest street. You'll stand beneath the ruined spire of St. Nikolai, admire the Rathaus and the Venetian-style Alsterarkaden, and pause on the quiet square where Hamburg was born — before the brick prow of the Chilehaus points you into the UNESCO-listed warehouse canals of the Speicherstadt.
