St. Nikolai Memorial (Pass by)
The surviving tower and ruins of St. Nikolai provide a powerful link to Hamburg's wartime history.

Speicherstadt (Pass by)
Red-brick warehouses, canals, bridges, and former trading houses define Speicherstadt, Hamburg's UNESCO-listed warehouse district. Learn how coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, and other goods once moved through this vast port complex, and how the area has evolved as Hamburg's waterfront has changed.
