Our local tip for you
Do you need a break from the hustle and bustle? Right in the heart of the Speicherstadt, you’ll find the ‘Speicherstadt Kaffeerösterei’ (coffee roastery). If it’s too crowded there, walk a few steps further to the ‘Kaffeemuseum Burg’ (coffee museum) on the Genueser Fleet – here you can enjoy excellent cakes and freshly roasted coffee in a wonderfully nostalgic atmosphere.
