Hamburg's UNESCO World Heritage - the Speicherstadt Warehouse District

Half-day walking tour through the contrasting area of Hamburg's traditional Warehouse District "Speicherstadt" and most modern residential area "HafenCity" Immerse yourself into the commercial history of this part of Hamburg: The former port as the engine for growth and wealth. Which role does it play today? Discover the new usage of the century-old brick buildings and the modern architecture which manifests especially in the new landmark of Hamburg: The Elbe Philharmonic Hall, which thrones on the Elbe River, like a crown on the waves. Get to know the life and work of former times when electricity was hardly invented and goods were principally transported in sacks or barrels. Marvel at the technical aids that prevent people from being harmed by flooding in HafenCity.
