If you arrived in Hamburg not with the excursion group, on your own, then why not buy a tour right in place in the information office or book it in advance via the Internet? It will really screens up your stay in the city and will expand the borders.
Hamburg sightseeing tour
Everything is clear here. Do not want to explore the city yourself - a guide to help you. He will hold tourists to the districts of the city, according to the old and the new city, will be held on the bridge of the Cost-Trunk (who, by the way, survived the fire of 1842). Guests of the city of Town Hatchet will visit Germany and Ruins of the Church of St. Nicholas, now the anti-war memorial. Excursions will hold participants in the tour of the beautiful Junferstig Street, bring Alster to the Lake Lake Alster, the "coast of millionaires", and then everything will be delivered or reach the elba, overlooking the port. A visit to Michel, the main Cathedral of the city with the most large Cathedral clocks of Germany and small pretty houses of the North-German architecture of the late Middle Ages can be included in such a tour. Also in such an excursion can be riding a boat along the Elbe and Alter. If the tour is for a whole day, then the evening part includes a visit to a beautifully lit portion and a quarter of the night entertainment of the Rieperban (something like "Quarter of Red Lanterns"), where the Bittles group once is still not known, received an offer to record its first album. After the excursion, you can simply come to this area, because it is famous for numerous discos, bars, restaurants, there is a Salambo sex theater. By and large, it is the most popular excursion, and it is carried out in a variety of variants, it can be different in duration and content, as it depends on your wishes and interests, well, the monetary capabilities, of course. In any case, such an excursion will fly at least 50 € per person and lasts at least 3 hours.
Excursions to enterprises of Hamburg and the surrounding area
This excursion is exclusively for those who are interested in any particular production sphere and want to learn a little more. Although inquisitive such a tour will also like to do. Variability of tours is wide enough - from a small family-owned enterprise to an international concern, as well as can be organized in various institutions, such as ministries, sectoral unions, universities, etc., at the request of the tourists themselves. Guides can even organize a meeting with the owners or company managers. That is, such a tour can be very useful, can contribute to the exchange of experience and to be devoted to cooperation. So, the duration of the tour and the cost is absolutely negotiable, as well as can be held in any city, in addition to Hamburg.
Lüneburg
This is an old trading city, where every guest necessarily takes the salt bag. All because at about a thousand years ago, salt began to actively mine and sell, and the town was very rich. Tourists will definitely visit one of the old mines, where the Museum dedicated to the production and processing of salt is now located. Also, guests will lead to three majestic churches of the XIII-XIV centuries, one of which stores the body of the 16th century, still worker. Tourists will visit Am Sande Shopping Square with beautiful gothic brick buildings. Mandatory sightseeing points - 800-year-old town hall, the old port with a wooden port crane, a small area of Stintmarkt (called in honor of the most beloved delicacy, fishes of Koryushki) - There are tourists in one of the cozy cafes where the beer can have a drink and try, actually , this fish. We will visit guests and quarters of artisans, old mills and brewery, which are here very much. The city is also known that the young Bach studied here. This town is just half an hour from Hamburg. The tour is worth a minimum of 50 euros per person, and the excursion itself lasts at least 6 hours. Movement is carried out on mini-Wen or train (and walking around the city). Take with you cash and warm clothes. The tour for young children is clearly not suitable.
Walk on the boat on the port harbor and canals
This is an alternative to a sightseeing tour of the city, and one of the best ways to find out the city and see it from the best side. You can, for example, join the excursion on the boat along the Elbe and the channels. Beginning of the tour, from the berth from the SPEICHERSTADT warehouses. During swimming, tourists will be able to enjoy the views of the Futuristic area of Hafencity and Philharmonic on the Elbe. We will see tourists and historical ships-museums, pier and port promenade, the older shipyard of Hamburg "Blog and the Foss", the dry dock "Elba 17", the Russian submarine-museum and the building in the form of a parallelepiped. A fairly interesting excursion, short, hour or two, and relatively inexpensive.
Tour of the Red Lights Quarter
As I have already written above, this is a fairly well-known and very fun district of the city. This "sinful area" of Hamburg is famous for the whole world, no less than his Dutch fellow. This is the best place to entertainment in the city, but not to pass by the standing, use the guide services. Excursion evening. The male parts of the sightseeing team will be happy to walk through herbertstrasse - the street for which women and adolescents are not allowed to enter for up to 18 years old. During this tour, you will learn how sex business functions, the guide will enlighten you into the secrets of local bars and striptease clubs (well, or the borders, to whom that!). Naturally, such an excursion is not for children. It costs about 100 € from the group, the group can be different in the number of people (up to 15, for example). And the excursion lasts somewhere for two hours and starts directly at the beginning of the quarter (although how to negotiate, again).
Of course, there are different field options, such as excursions "Hamburg-Berlin" or "Hamburg Lubeck", but it is quite long tours, take 12 hours, and quite tedious. Many Internet sites offer excursions from Hamburg to Berlin, but after all, one road to the capital takes 3 hours! I do not see the point of taking such excursions - it will be much more expensive! It's easier to come, say, in Lubeck himself either Berlin, and there it is already to agree with local guides about the sightseeing tour (or with guides via the Internet).
