What to expect
The Speicherstadt is a historic warehouse district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in the port of Hamburg, Germany. It is the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations. The district was built from 1883 to 1927 as a free zone to transfer goods without paying customs. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, offering a unique blend of historic architecture, cultural attractions, and entertainment options. Visitors can explore the district's narrow canals, admire its beautiful neo-gothic brick architecture, and visit various museums, such as the Miniatur Wunderland, the Hamburg Dungeon, and the Deutsches Zollmuseum. The district is also home to several family-friendly attractions, including the Automuseum Prototyp and the Kaffeerösterei, a former coffee warehouse turned café that offers coffee tastings and freshly-roasted beans from around the world
