Haunted History
Hamburg

For both locals and visitors, and not for the faint of heart, this two-hour walking tour has become HH Tours’ signature experience.

Beginning at the Rathaus, we trace Hamburg’s darker history through stories most people never hear, moving toward Domplatz where some of the city’s oldest legends still linger.

As the tour unfolds, the stories grow closer to the present, where fact and story begin to blur.
