Tour description

Starts every 11:00 AM (Italian) and 1:30 PM (German and English). Duration approx. 90 minutes (one hour).
The nearest S-Bahn station is Stadthausbrücke, accessible by lines S1 or S3.

The tour is a walk in the park (we'll be walking), even if it rains 😀.

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

Then it goes via Erste Brunnenstrasse to Großneumarkt, then on via Alter Steinweg towards the town hall.
The tour ends at St. Peter's Church, at the corner of Domstrasse.

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

Let yourselves be surprised!!!
