Wander centuries-old wooden alleyways with a local historian who unlocks the port's Hanseatic trading past. Small-group storytelling brings the UNESCO-listed quarter to life in a way no audio guide can.
What to expect
You'll begin at the harbor's oldest wharf building, then thread through timber alleyways as your guide points out centuries-old trade marks and hidden courtyards. Expect stops inside a merchant's house rarely open to the public, and a final overlook for panoramic photos of the old quarter's rooftops.
Good to know
Meet at the wharf clock tower 15 minutes early; cobblestones call for sturdy shoes. Tour runs about 2.5 hours, easily completed with time to spare before boarding.
