The 10 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Hamburg, Germany
Second only to Berlin in size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the biggest harbors in Europe. A stroll along its many waterways and canals illustrates why it has been called the "Venice of the North." Don't miss a trip to the local fish market (Fischmarkt), the Merchants District (marked by its imposing red-brick architecture), a fine dining experience along the river or a night out in the university quarter. And did we mention the Reeperbahn (red light district)? It's quite famous for its… red lights.

Hauptkirche St. Petri zu Hamburg, or St. Peter's Church, the beautiful and majestic red bricj Gothic church, is the oldest parish church in Hamburg dating back to 1195. It is really worth visiting. The church is located on the main commercial street of the city - Moenckebergstrasse, it is also situated not so far away from the Hamburg City Hall. Although it as destroyed by the Great Fire of the city in May 1842, the church was rebuilt in 1844-1849 on the old site, and the only tower was finished in 1878. The tower is 132 meters high, and you can climb the 544 steps to the top of the tower to its viewpoint at 123m, from which you can watch central Hamburg through a skylight (porthole). The bronze lion-head door handles, dating from the foundation of the original tower in 1342, are the oldest work of art in Hamburg. It is a wonderful place of peace and quiet and we love to visit the church to relax away from the noise of the street and the crowds of people in the nearby Europa Passage. There are also public toilets inside the church. We can strongly recommend the place, the church is really worth visiting.

Raised in the 13th century, St. Katharine's Church traditionally served as the fishermen's church. Partially distroyed during an air ride during the WW2, it was rebuilt, however, the outer wall and the base of its spire are original. Ornated with angels and the priceless wood carved figure St. Katherine, the interior finishes date from the late 20th-century reconstruction of the medieval church.
