Guided Story

Take a deep breath and look around at the facades. Can you feel the stories of merchants and sailors echoing from these walls? Right here, in the 17th century, trade was thriving. The old merchant houses you're seeing are witnesses to those bustling times. Look to your left—Flüggerhaus is one of the most stunning examples of architecture from that era. Did you know some of these buildings survived the devastating WWII bombings? Behind you, in the narrow alleys, you can almost hear the bustling activity from the past. It's as if history comes alive here.
