What’s included?
In my Hamburg tourist map, I’ve included over 60 of the city’s most must-visit destinations! They’re split into the following categories depending on what you want to see and do:
- Historical Sites – Hamburg strikes the perfect balance between history and modernity, which is one of the things I love most about the city. From iconic landmarks like the Old Town Hall to UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Speicherstadt, there’s no shortage of great historical spots to explore!
- General Tourist Attractions – Hamburg is packed with incredible attractions! Stroll along Hamburg Harbour and the St. Pauli Piers, uncover the city’s dark past at the Hamburg Dungeon, or check out the buzzing nightlife of the Reeperbahn—the city’s famous Red Light District!
- Museums / Art Galleries – If you’re a museum lover, you’re in the right place here. Whether you want to learn about nautical history on an actual ship on the Rickmer Rickmers, dive into the world of spices at Spicy’s Spice Museum or pretty much anything in between, Hamburg has a museum for you! And for art enthusiasts, the Hamburger Kunsthalle—one of Germany’s largest galleries—is an absolute must-visit!
- Parks – If you’re looking for a break from the city buzz, Hamburg has plenty of green spaces to explore. Notably Planten un Blomen, one of the most popular parks in the city, is especially worth a visit!
