The Town Hall was built in 1866 and, as such, it encompasses a neo-Renaissance architectural style.

Tourists have a chance to see this Hamburg heritage from the inside, perusing through over 60 portraits of influential personalities in Hamburg’s history; the tours also include a view of the Kaisersaal Hall and its ever-alluring ceiling mural.

Considered to be the largest museum building in all of Germany, the Hamburger Kunsthalle is a three-building fine art museum that houses the country's most prized art possessions. The museum is known to have art pieces dated from the Middle Ages to the Contemporary, with artists like Master Francke and C.D. Freidrich’s works featured on its walls.
