HRA City Walks
Once a month, the HRA provides an opportunity to see Hamburg from a different perspective and to exchange and network with Hamburg researchers. Over the course of the theme year, we will explore the locations and sights near our member universities with a professional guide. There will be the opportunity to continue chatting and networking with fellow researchers over a drink after the tour. We look forward to meeting you!

18 April 2023 – City, Speicherstadt and HafenCity
Date: Tuesday, 18 April 2023, 5-7 pm
Topic: City Quiz: Discovery Tour Through the City, Speicherstadt and HafenCity: On this city tour we will explore the heart of the city (including Jungfernstieg, Rathaus, Alsterarkaden, Börseninnenhof) and by subway the HafenCity, a little bit different: In teams we will solve tricky questions and face challenges together that require creativity, power of deduction, and intuition, but most of the time we will be together in the group. And don't worry, it's not a scavenger hunt for kids, but with a surprise for the winner team! We will discover the harbor basins where sailing ships used to tie up fully loaded and the loading hatches through which the warehouses of the Speicherstadt were loaded with cocoa beans, licorice and pepper. A spirit of discovery and curiosity are helpful on this city tour!
