The 2,5-hour tour will begin in the heart of the historic Old Town where you will discover Hanseatic history, culture and heritage. You will see highlights such as St Mary’s Church (Marienkirche) and the Old Town Hall with its series of ornate arcades that date back to the 13th-century.

During this exclusive food tasting tour you will discover the diverse flavors of local cuisine.
