Highlights of
Hamburg History

Spooky stuff not your style? This 2 hour tour skips the ghosts and the more unsettling details and focuses on Hamburg’s real history. You will hear about the people, events, and turning points that shaped the city, along with the stories behind its most important locations. It still includes some darker moments, because that is part of Hamburg’s past, but nothing designed to creep you out. It is a slightly more family friendly option while still being interesting for adults.
