General info: 

Hamburg Rathaus is the town hall of Hamburg and the main city’s government office. Located in the very centre of the Hamburg city, between the artificial Alster Lakes and the river Elbe, the Hamburg Rathaus became the top tourist attraction. It’s not just its location and importance that brought fame to the Hamburg City Hall. Its history is equally impressive.

There was a great fire in the mid-19th century, when the most of the city burned to the ground, including the official town house. The city of Hamburg invested giant amounts of money to make a new one. After four decades, the Hamburg Rathaus was finally completed. The people of Hamburg invested such great amount of money and time to raise this monumental building, so it would be disrespectful not to visit it on your Hamburg tour.

Getting there: 

The Hamburg City Hall’s address is Rathaus Markt 1. Hamburg Rathaus is really hard to miss, as this magnificent building stands in the city centre, next to the Rathaus subway station.

Costs: 

Entering the City Hall’s premises is available only with a certified tour guide. However, enjoying it’s beautiful design is free.
