The 8 Best Self-Guided Tours & Rentals 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.

The game itself was really fun. The only hangup we had was it was advertised to be offered in English. The entire game was in German, even after we selected English. The game was still fun, as we used Google Translate for the clues and to navigate the game.

Experience the illuminated Speicherstadt and the sea of lights in the evening harbor of Hamburg. Evening lights ride - Hamburg at night - one-hour ride on our maritime barges or comfortable salon ships through the special evening atmosphere of the harbor. At appropriate Tide, the ride leads through the canals and canals of the historic Speicherstadt, with its magically illuminated bridges and office buildings. The façades of the historic Speicherstadt, which has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001 by the artist Michael Batz, as well as the nightly sea of lights of one of the largest ports in the world, form the ever-changing backdrop of our unique light journey, which will inspire you. The Port of Hamburg is an open seaport and therefore dependent on tides. For this reason, it is not possible at any time / date to navigate the canals and canals of the historic warehouse district.

We found this boat tour on TA. It was a little hard to find the office on Brueke 1, but we found it. Although the picture showed a paddle wheel boat, we took one of the smaller ones as the paddle wheel only ran once in a while. Regardless, we really enjoyed the tour, which lasted 1 hour. We got to see houses on the river, Hamburg beach and several large container ships. It was really cool! Overall, a great boat tour. Our only recommendation would be for the company to highlight items in both German and English. They definitely had enough time, as the downloadable English app was a bit clunky to use. Anyway, we recommend you try it.
