Full description

Don't have much time, but still want to feel the charm of the Alster? Then this city tour on the water is just the thing for you. The white Alster steamers will take you around the Outer Alster close to the shore, from where you can explore the popular sights and world-famous buildings of the Hanseatic city from the water. The view from the white Alster steamers makes the "pearl of the city center" sparkle particularly brightly.

Sail past the famous Alster Fountain and under the Lombards bridge directly to the Outer Alster. See beautiful residential areas and sights, such as the Hotel Atlantic, Blue Mosque, U. S. Consulate General, or Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten.

Discover the city´s stunning panorama with its church spires and bridges, as well as the natural life along the lakeside with its many water birds and rare plants.
