Lichterfahrt
The Lichterfahrt – the tour for romantics
A trip by ATG Alster-Touristik GmbH

on the water.
What to look forward to
Your journey starts here.
When dusk falls between Jungfernstieg and Harvestehude and the lights in Hamburg come on, the special magic of the Alster can be experienced. In this blue hour, the Binnenalster and its canals shine in the light of the setting sun. This spectacle of light reflecting on the Alster is probably nowhere as beautiful to behold as up close during an Alster boat trip! In September, the Lichterfahrt leads, if the tide permits, through the historic Speicherstadt and around the Elbphilharmonie. If passage is not possible due to the water level, the route goes through the atmospheric canals around the Alster.
More about this trip
This way, Hamburg can be experienced from a very special perspective at dusk. In September: Lichterfahrt through the Speicherstadt (tide dependent).
