The century-old Speicherstadt is the world's oldest warehouse complex. It was built at the turn of the century in red bricks with gabled roofs and small towers.

Nowadays, the Speicherstadt not only houses warehouses for coffee, carpets etc. , but also a museum, theaters and even apartments.

The Speicherstadt can easily be explored by foot or from a nice boat tour through the channels.

Formerly a water tower located inside the Stadtpark (City Park) is now housing Hamburg's planetarium. This is a beautiful place where nature and (popular) science come together. You can attend different shows, readings and even music events. It features a powerful projector, which lets you travel through time and space.

I did ask and I was shown the way up to the roof. No cover no guard and what a view I had after clinbimg up 8 stories through this building. Hamburg's buildings are hidden outside the park, but among all those trees. Its hard to believe how big this city is.
