Depart the pier by motor-coach for your Hamburg panoramic city tour. Drive through the city center, boasting a mix of modern and old architecture, hundreds of small shops and a number of large department stores.
See the century-old Speicherstadt warehouse quarter built in Gothic redbrick architecture, pass by the ruins of St. Nikolai Church before arriving at City Hall, an impressive structure built in the neo-Renaissance style, where you will have the chance to take some pictures.
Now your motor coach hugs the shores of Outer Alster Lake, while having a snack at the waterside.Then, view some of Hamburg's finest residential neighborhoods, see the consulate district and admire the beautiful Alster Park.
A highlight of your outing is the famous entertainment district, called Reeperbahn once a 17th century tall-ship rigging. This street, together with the Grosse Freiheit and Herbert Strasse, are referred to as the 'mile of sin'. The Beatles began their career here in 1961. Thanks to the presence of many cabarets, Broadway musical venues and fine restaurants, the area's reputation has recently improved.
Stop at Hamburg's landmark, St. Michael's Church, as well as an historic form of widow housing in close proximity, and have a look inside before taking a leisurely stroll through this small district that offers a glimpse of old Hamburg.
You will also have some free time for shopping (approx. 30 minutes) before you return to the ship.
