The Zollkanal, which was developed into a shipping canal at the end of the 19th century, flows along the northern edge of the Speicherstadt. The rich history and maritime character of the Hanseatic city is reflected along the Zollkanal.

The historic buildings with their red brick façades in the Speicherstadt tell of times gone by and bear witness to the importance of the port of Hamburg as a historic trading hub. The Kibbelsteg leads over the customs canal and is an excellent photo spot.

Hamburgs "Tele-Michel" Television Tower

Outstanding! You can see him from every corner of the city: Hamburg's television tower, or as the inhabitants affectionately call it, the "Tele-Michel". The television tower is one of Hamburg's landmarks and today only serves as a radio tower.

Hamburg's water station. Landungsbrücken

The floating dock - called the "Landungsbrücken" (landing stages) – is 700 metres long. Harbour tours and the HADAG steamers to Finkenwerder, Oevelgönne and Blankenese leave from this water "station". Impressive luxury cruisers also dock here from time to time.
