Experience the Port of Hamburg from an entirely different angle
Container bridges as high as a tower, modern technology and huge gantry cranes: On the harbour bus tour, even port connoisseurs always something new to discover. The bus leaves every Saturday at 1:00 p.m. and takes visitors up close to the fascinating world of the Hamburg Harbour.
The three-hour tour also includes a detailed look at the Köhlbrandbrücke, which is Germany’s second-highest suspension and cable-stayed bridge – over 3.6 kilometres long and 135 metres high. In addition the tour provides much information on environmental protection and recycling.
