The Hafenrundfahrt in Hamburg is a popular tourist attraction that offers harbour tours through the port of Hamburg. The tours start from the Landungsbrücken and take you on modern passenger ships or traditional barges to explore the maritime sights of the city. You will pass by numerous iconic landmarks such as the museum ships Cap San Diego and Rickmer Rickmers, the Dockland, container terminals, and the Elbe Philharmonic Hall. The tours are approximately 1-2 hours long and provide live commentary in German, with audio guides available in multiple languages. The harbour tour is a great way to learn about the importance of the port of Hamburg as an economic sector and its history as a Hanseatic city
