Can you hear the creaking of the old wooden floors? Smell the scent of coffee, spices, and faraway lands? Welcome to the Speicherstadt, where every brick has a story to tell.
What can you expect on this tour?

As we stroll through the neo-Gothic brick buildings, I'll tell you about the brave visionaries who created this architectural marvel. You'll learn why the warehouses are on tree piles, who the "neighborhood people" were, and what dramatic stories are hidden behind the imposing facades.
