Hamburg Speicherstadt discovery tour with the tourist train

The discovery tour through Hamburg's Speicherstadt offers a 25-minute tour of the UNESCO World Heritage Site. Historic trading houses, coffee trading and maritime history can be experienced in a compact, informative and comfortable way.

What makes Speicherstadt so special?

Coffee, tea, spices and carpets from all over the world were once stored here. Merchants, warehouse workers and customs officials determined the hustle and bustle between offices and warehouses. Hamburg's Speicherstadt is one of the most impressive historic districts in Europe and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015. As the largest contiguous warehouse complex in the world, it shapes the cityscape with its neo-Gothic brick buildings, canals and bridges.
