Guided Story

Take in the striking architecture of commercial buildings from around 1900. Alte Wall runs parallel to the Alsterfleet, linking Rathausmarkt with Rödingsmarkt. As you head east, you'll find a pedestrianized area, recently redesigned to offer a relaxed atmosphere. Look northwest, and you'll spot the Bucerius Kunst Forum, just a short walk away. To the west, towards Rödingsmarkt, the street turns into a one-way road. This blend of historic facades and modern urban planning makes Alte Wall a unique spot in Hamburg's Old Town.
