Speicherstadt is a complex of hundreds of buildings along the canals of Hamburg. These buildings are more than 110 years old and used to be places, where the goods that came from all over the world to Hamburg, could be stored inside the free-Trading-Zone "Freihafen". There were mainly stores for coffee, spices, carpets etc.
A few years ago some of these stores were changed into museums and so you may visit various museums there :
Miniatur-Wunderland

Hamburg Dungeon - spooky place

Speicherstadt-Museum

Dialog im Dunkeln - the world of the blind

Eisenbahn-Wunderland is one of the best-known attractions in Hamburg, although it was built just in the year 2000. Inside the old Speicherstadt / the old warehouses in the free-trading-zone you may watch miniature-trains, villages, great landscapes from all over the world and everything is moving and looks really great.
Everything is planned there to the smallest detail, you may watch the fire-brigades of Hamburg fighting against the fire, a stadion with a soccergame going on, you may even see love-affais in the cornfields, bank-robberies etc. etc. etc.
Every half hour the big lights are turned off and you may see the landscape beautifully lighted almost like in reality...

When a friend of mine from Australia came to visit and the question of, " what should we see" came up it was hard to decide. She was only in town for a day and a half. She wanted something fun but also wanted a museum or something historical. The first thing that popped into my mind was the Dungeon.
Its been open about 3 or 4 years now and while Ive thought about going I have never taken the time. So my friend and I and I got up early on a Sunday morning to stand in line in the cold for tickets. Right now I can tell you if you want to go buy your tickets in advance. The line wasnt that long but if you have them ahead of time you will get inside a lot quicker.
They take you in to buy your tickets in your group (or couple) because first you get your picture taken decapitating your friends. Next onto the ticket line where you pay and then they leave you in a fairly dark room where you wait to be let in to the main portion. They take groups of 30 people at a time.
I wont tell you everything that goes on because I dont want to spoil it for you but you do get to re-live the dark parts of Hamburg's history such as the black plague, the fire, the flood, and Klaus Stoertebecker's execution. Stoertebecker was the infamous pirate who raided the Hanseatic League's ships. All in all its a lot of fun and the actors they have are great. Sometimes you have to tell yourself, "This isnt real."
I dont think I would recommend it for younger children but older kids and teens would probably enjoy it a lot. Although the actors speak German the signs inside and the film parts are subtitled in English.

Or you can take the U1 to Baumwall and walk to the Dungeon from there. Takes about 10 minutes by foot.Website: http://www.thedungeons.com/index_gr.htm

 Speichertstadt Hamburg Germany by photo-man
Next door, things are drier but no less exciting: Miniaturwunderland in Hamburgs Speicherstadt features one of the largest model railways in the world. More than 450 trains with a total of 7,000 carriages and countless trees, figures, cars, platforms, houses and bridges make up an incredibly realistic model landscape. Train movements are controlled in fully digital form by computer, and a distinction is even made between day and night. Leave a Comment

As in other European harbour cities, the harbour area is being redeveloped and old (quite often very beautiful) storage buildings being turned into business/apartment buildings. Compared to London, Copenhagen and Glasgow, Hamburg started out a bit late on this, with the advantage of avoiding some of the development errors of other places. You can inform yourself on the harbour redevelopment project on the website of the Hamburg city administration. Good project, tasteful conversion.
Most cruises of the harbour and old docklands are leaving from the Landungsbrücken. Leave a Comment

You can see the history of the district in the Speicherstadt-Museum. I cannot say anything about it as I haven't been there. Leave a Comment

 Minarure wonderland, Hamburg by sourbugger
I had a bit of a dilemma about forking out 9 Euro to visit the exhibition and wait in line for a while to see over 1000 trains running about. The problem was that I was in Hamburg with Mrs Sourbugger who thinks such displays are silly, boyish and boring and without Sourbugger Junior who would probably wet himself several times over at the prospect of seeing the world's largest train set.
I finally made the decision to come back to Hamburg another year so I and Sourbugger Junior can take a hour or so to indulge.
The only bit I'm not looking forward to is the Queue to get in. This is what their website says about it. priceless.
"Please try to keep a smile in your face, since our layout is intended to lighten you up. We all can manage this if our guests arrive with a happy attidue. By no means must this attitude be lost in a row of waiting and grumpy people. So, if all this waiting gets on your nerves, just tell a joke or tickle the one in front of you!" Leave a Comment

In 1842, there was a big fire in Hamburg that left 20,000 people homeless and destroyed many of the city's old Civil Houses. Dyke Street is a preserved slice of Hamburg's history and allows you to glimpse what it looked like before the fire. Leave a Comment Address: near the port in the old storehouse district
