Tour Overview

During a private and guided walking tour, learn about Hamburg's five important churches and the city's history.

Hamburg's cityscape is still dominated by the five main church towers. The Gothic-style St. Jacob's Church, which originated from a chapel on a medieval pilgrimage path to Santiago de Compostela, is worth a visit. Admire the medieval decor and the iconic and valuable Arp Schnitger organ. See the St. Peter's Church, Hamburg's earliest parish church, and the St. Katharinen Church, whose congregation has grown to embrace the newly emerging HafenCity.

Observe the remnants of St. Nikolai's former main church, a remarkable memorial against war and destruction that was demolished in the Great Hamburg Fire of 1842 and then again by air strikes during WWII. Walk along the old Deichstraße to the huge St. Michaelis Church, a Hanseatic city landmark known as "Michel." Learn more about northern Germany's most prominent baroque church and enjoy looking at its magnificent majesty.

This guided tour of Hamburg's churches will take you through the city's turbulent history, including city expansion, catastrophes, fires, and wars.
