Hamburg Sightseeing Tour – the Red Double-deckers The Red Double-deckers have been offering sightseeing tours in Hamburg since 1978 – first with the Hamburg Hummelbahn vehicles and then with the famous and well-loved open-top double-decker buses that are today part and parcel of the Hamburg city landscape. Open-top tours in particular are a special thrill in all seasons and offer fantastic all-round views from a height of 4 metres. The mission of the Red Double-deckers is as simple as it is clever: To tour Hamburg is to experience Hamburg. With much charm, the certified tour guides accompany the high-quality city tours and make sightseeing a very special experience – always with live commentary and always original, entertaining and informative. In addition, we offer 8 further languages via headsets through a GPS-controlled audio system: French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Danish, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.

The century-old Speicherstadt, the world's largest contiguous warehouse complex, is located in the Freihafen (free-port) between Deichtorhallen and Baumwall. An idyll that one would hardly imagine finding in a world port waits there for visitors to Hamburg. Wilhelmine brick Gothic from the late nineteenth century, bizarre gables and turrets which reflect the barges in the canals.

Plaza The Elbphilharmonie Plaza serves as the junction between the old harbour warehouse and the modern glass structure above it. Located at a height of 37 metres above ground level, this public viewing platform is open to everyone and offers a breathtaking 360° view of the city and the harbour. A Public Space for Hamburg The public viewing platform situated at the junction of the old harbour warehouse and the modern glass structure above it is a magnet for visitors. 26,000 people visited the Plaza on the weekend following its official opening on 4 November 2016. Up to 17,000 Hamburg residents and guests from all over the world make their way to the HafenCity daily to enjoy the breathtaking 360° view of the city and harbour from a height of 37 metres above ground level. This places the Elbphilharmonie on the list alongside Europe's other most popular attractions, such as the Sistine Chapel in Rome, which has a comparable annual number of visitors. The Plaza is open to everyone – not just concertgoers and hotel guests. You are welcome to come up and enjoy the fantastic view, discover more about the architecture or meet friends for coffee and a snack – from 09:00 to 24:00 daily.

Experience Hamburg from the best angle - from the deck of an Alster steamer. The canals of the romantic Alster estuary are Hamburg’s own pearls. You’ll see Hamburg from a totally different point of view, which is simply not possible from the city’s streets.
