Comprising more than 600 rooms, a lavish Great Hall and Emperor’s Hall, and a commemorative fountain, the Hamburg City Hall continues to be used by local government bodies today. The lobby is open to the public, often showcasing exhibitions, concerts, and other events—and tours of the building’s interior are available. If you’re looking for a spot to rest your feet and take a breather, head to the pretty inner courtyard for some fresh air.
Many city sightseeing tours stop by the Hamburg City Hall. Hop-on hop-off bus tours are a speedy way to see the building and the surrounding area, while small-group walking excursions make it easier to get a feel for the neighborhood.
