Barge Tour
CAST OFF!
Hamburg is a city of waterways. What better way to discover
a number of its outstanding highlights than to book a sightseeing
tour on a barge for an exciting cruise through the harbour
and the secluded fleete of the historic speicherstadt?
The niederbaumbrücken (bridges) connect Baumwall with Kehrwiederspitze.
Hamburg CARD
See one of the world‘s largest ports up close – from
historic museum vessels to giant container ships over
300 metres long – on a barge tour. Experienced captains
pass on their extensive knowledge and a tall tale
or two along the way, which is how they got the nickname
He lücht (Low German for ‘he‘s lying‘). A barge
tour down the countless fleete of the historic Speicherstadt,
beneath old bridges and past listed warehouse
buildings is fascinating for one and all. For a special
treat book the evening tour through the illuminated
Speicherstadt.
FERRY STOPS: Landungsbrücken, City-Sporthafen, Binnenhafen.
The MARITIME CIRCLE LINE offers an unusual tour. Every
two hours, the bright red barges depart from Landungsbrücken,
pier 10, for a circle tour of the maritime
attractions, including Cap San Diego, the Speicher stadt,
the Harbour Museum Hamburg and BallinStadt.
