Then, get another perspective of Hamburg on your included one-hour harbor sightseeing cruise with English commentary. The boat leaves daily at 12pm from the landing piers of the Hamburg port.

The boat will take you along the shoreline of Hamburg's inner-city lake, lined with impressive villas and beautiful garden areas.

Enjoy a traditional cup of tea (included) at the teashop in the heritage-listed Krameramt district, an area of former merchants' homes built in the 17th century (hop-on hop-off stop is St Michael Church).

Your sightseeing tickets are valid for three consecutive days, but you can take each tour only once.
