Speicherstadt Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Hamburg's Speicherstadt is one of the world's largest warehouse complexes, turned into something genuinely beautiful — the riddles do it justice.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Hamburg on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Uncover the Elbphilharmonie, the historic Brooksbrücke, and the Traditionshafen am Sandtorkai — music, engineering, and maritime heritage on one walk

• Move through the waterfront district at your own pace, no guide required

• Great for groups of all ages and sizes

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

Not just bricks and water — Hamburg's warehouse district has layers.
