City tour through Hamburg's Neustadt and the ramparts
Pickup
We meet directly on the footpath towards Wallanlagen in the car park directly opposite Hamburg Dammtor train station. You will recognize me by my orange umbrella at the meeting point.
Description
We start our walk through the history of Hamburg at Hamburg’s first public park.
We learn why the ramparts are called ramparts,
when in northern Germany it is actually so flat everywhere.
Get to know a highly sought-after Dutchman of his time.
Afterwards we continue our walk, passing Hamburg’s only inner-city skyscraper.
Let's take a look between former flower beds and see what residential densification can lead to.
Find out what the cosmopolitanism of the people of Hamburg is all about,
but why Neustadt residents should always keep their feet still.
Listen to the life story of two Hamburgers whose stories couldn't be more different.
And why the phrase “get going!” is to be taken literally in Hamburg.
On our walk through the urban jungle and its district,
We embark on a historical journey of discovery through the New Town and its green lung.
Immerse yourself in all its contrasts.
