Salt Storehouse

Discover 2 gems of northern Germany in one day on a guided tour of Hamburg and Lübeck. Learn about the history of trade and innovation in the heart of Hamburg, including its famous Speicherstadt district, followed by a visit to Lübeck, the red-brick Gothic city of the Hansa. Start with pickup from your hotel in Hamburg, and set off on your discovery of the city with your private guide. Walk through the historic heart of the city and admire the Town Hall, Deichstrasse, and its iconic ‘Kontor’ buildings. See what remains of the St Nikolai Church, which has remained as is since the allied fire-bombings of WWII. Explore the UNESCO-listed Speicherstadt and witness the modern architectural splendor of the Elbphilharmonie.  After a short break, travel north to Lübeck, the North Sea city of German literary giants Thomas Mann and Günther Grass. Stroll underneath the legendary symbol of Lübeck, the Holsten Gate. Cross over the old city walls to explore the charming Old Town. Wander through the city’s former economic epicenter at the Old Salt Storehouses, admire the architectural grandeur of St. Peter’s Church, and see the imposing Town Hall overlooking the city’s marketplace. Finally, marvel at the ‘mother of brick Gothic architecture’ – St. Mary’s Church.  Take a short break for shopping and refreshments before relaxing on the journey back to Hamburg.
