<strong>Hamburg</strong> – cosmopolitan city on the water. Discover<br />

the highlights on a barge cruise of the harbour and the<br />

Speicherstadt.<br />

Experience every aspect of<br />

one of the world’s largest<br />

ports – from historic vessels<br />

to giant container ships – on<br />

a barge tour. Well-versed<br />

captains pass on their<br />

knowledge with a tall tale<br />

or two, which is how they<br />

The Niederbaumbrücken (bridges) con-<br />

got their nickname He lücht nect Baumwall with Kehrwiederspitze.<br />

(he‘s lying), a Low-German<br />

term for a person with a lot of imagination! A barge<br />

tour through the Elbe canals (fleete) of the Speicherstadt,<br />

with its old bridges or an evening cruise past the<br />

illuminated historic warehouse complex, now a national<br />

<strong>Hamburg</strong> CaRD<br />

monument is a must. Departure from Landungsbrücken,<br />

City-Sportboothafen (note construction site, see p. 14)<br />

or the inner port (Binnenhafen).<br />

The Maritime Circle Line offers an unusual round trip. The<br />

bright red barges serve all the maritime attractions every<br />

two hours. Departure is from Landungsbrücken, pier 10,<br />

other stops include the CAP SAN DIEGO, the Speicherstadt,<br />

the Harbour Museum <strong>Hamburg</strong> and BallinStadt.<br />

Tip: Take the Catamaran from <strong>Hamburg</strong> to Heligoland<br />

A ride from <strong>Hamburg</strong> down the Elbe<br />

and out onto the open North Sea on<br />

the HALUNDER JET is an interesting<br />

and exciting experience. The rocky<br />

offshore island of Heligoland offers<br />

natural diversity and duty-free shopping. Departure: Landungsbrücken,<br />

pier 3/4, daily from april to october at 9 am<br />
