Typical Hamburg gifts: our top 10
Give away the taste of the Speicherstadt
As in all major port cities, you will find the finest fruits, spices and drinks from all over the world in Hamburg. In order to store the goods at the port before they were sold retail or transported onwards, the Speicherstadt was built towards the end of the 19th century, which is fortunately still preserved today and should not be missed on any visit to the Hanseatic city. This unique, huge former warehouse complex is Hamburg’s hippest district, where you will find excellent restaurants, great stores and the coolest attractions.
Why your mouth is watering at the moated castle
Picturesquely situated at the end of a peninsula, the four-storey building is the landmark of the Speicherstadt. Its ground floor houses the famous Teekontor, which, in addition to around 250 types of tea from all over the world, also offers gourmet gastronomy of the highest standard at very fair prices in its adjoining restaurant.
Burg coffee roastery
Hamburg is also the first port of call for anyone who loves coffee more than tea. After all, the Hanseatic city is the world’s most important hub for coffee! For almost 100 years, the name Burg has stood for exquisite coffee enjoyment. In 2015, the traditional roasting company opened its own coffee museum in the Speicherstadt warehouse district, where you can admire curious exhibits and learn all there is to know about the cult drink. It is also possible to learn the fine art of roasting as part of a seminar.
