Tour description

Starts every hour at 11:00 am (Italian) and 1:30 pm (German); duration approx. 90 minutes (one hour)
The nearest S-Bahn station is Stadthausbrücke, accessible with lines S1 or S3.

The tour is a walk in the park (so we walk), even if it rains 😀.

Start Michaelisstrasse 5 Hamburg-Neustadt (in front of the statue of Emperor Charlemagne, which stands in front of the Catholic church Kleiner Michel - Sankt Ansgar, the church is on the opposite side of the main road from the Großer Michel).

Then we go along Erste Brunnenstrasse to Großneumarkt, then continue along Alter Steinweg towards the town hall.
The tour ends at the Petrikirche corner of Domstrasse.

We will meet Saint Ansgar more often and explore some parts of the history of this settlement (Hammaburg to Hamburg) using special “traces”.

Let yourself be surprised!!!
