We were only here for a geocache. But I’m glad they climbed the 544 steps… As the city’s highest accessible viewing platform (and the city’s oldest church), the climb was definitely worth the panoramic views.
The viewing platform only has room for two people, it’s like being in an attic closet! We were constantly having to work carefully as we switched window views.
I love these small circular ship-like windows that frame the city streets and buildings below including the magnificent city and the Elbe River.
There are a number of viewing platforms in Hamburg including the Elbphilharmonie, but none compares to the experience of St. Peter’s Church.
