Description

Enjoy a leisurely overview drive through Germany’s second-largest city with stops for shopping and to explore beloved St. Michael’s church. Founded in 810 AD by Charlemagne, Hamburg remains rich in history despite a devastating fire in 1842 and heavy Allied bombing during WWII. It also remains tied to the Elbe River’s water, which flows through an extensive network of Venice-like canals here. You’ll pass landmarks like Germany’s oldest stock exchange, placid Lake Alster sitting in the middle of the city, and an opulent 647-room town hall with more spires than you can count. The century-old, red-brick Speicherstadt warehouse district near the harbor is another highlight, as will be the free time you spend on a stroll along Jungfernstieg, the tony waterside shopping street whose name comes from when families would promenade here on Sundays with maiden aunts in tow; “jungfer” is German for spinster. A drive along the Reeperbahn follows; it’s lined with clubs like the ones where the Beatles polished their act in the early 60’s. Then a stop to visit St. Michael’s, an enormous Baroque church sporting an even more enormous clock tower, and the modest 17th-century almshouse for widows of Guild of Shopkeepers members, tucked behind it.

Following some free time to shop along Jungfernstieg, you will drive the Reeperbahn, a street known for its nightlife. The Beatles played in clubs here long before becoming famous. Then it’s on to the extraordinary St. Michael’s, an enormous Baroque church with distinctive features such as Germany’s largest clock tower. As a contrast, you will also visit a modest 17th-century almshouse for the widows of shopkeepers. Following your tour of Hamburg, you will transfer back to the pier.
