With red double-decker buses, rich in tradition, we will go sightseeing Hamburg within approximately 90 minutes - without hopping off. These buses characterize the cityscape since more than 20 years. That is why the buses were renewed to a current technical and environmentally sustainable standard.
The route leads with 28 bus stops across the City Hall.
The pulsating HafenCity and harbor, Hamburg’s landmark the “Michel” (St. Michaelis Church), the traditional Speicherstadt (city of warehouses), the wild Reeperbahn, the Alster lakes and many other hotspots.
The tour is followed by a dinner in the brewery Blockbräu at the Landungsbrücken (landing stages).
Brewing has a long tradition in Hamburg and its good beer was already famous in the Middle Ages. So Hamburg was called “Hanse’s Brewery” in the 12th century. With more than 500 breweries beer was the symbol of Hamburg.
