A beautiful historic and old church. Visitors can take the elevator to the top and it is worth the trip. The view around Hamburg and the Hamburg Port is just stunning. The interior of the church is simply beautifully built and peaceful.

Didn't regret visiting the church. We went up the tower, which costs 6€ but the view was worth the money! You even got a better view than from the Elbphilharmonie. There is a lift but you can also climb up the stairs to the 10th floor.

Beautiful church with bright interior in the colours of white and mint green. This church is a big part of Hamburgs history and also has a museum in the crypt as well as a tower you can take the stairs or an elevator to. Both the museum and towers requires a ticket but it's worth it.

Absolutely stunning! Beyond gorgeous. If you go at noon (but double check the website) there is a short service in German, but you get to hear all 3 of the massive organs being played.

Cool church with a rich interior and, as odd as it sounds, exciting music! We didn't go up the platform for the view since went up the tower of another church, but even so it was worth the visit. Very walkable from the city center.

is one of Hamburg's five Lutheran main churches and one of the most famous churches in the city. St. Michaelis is considered to be one of the finest Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches. It is dedicated to the Archangel Michael. A large bronze statue, standing above the portal of the church shows the archangel conquering the devil. The 132-meter high Baroque spire totally covered with copper is a prominent feature of Hamburg's skyline and has always been a landfall mark for ships sailing up the river Elbe. The composer and pianist Johannes Brahms was baptized on May 26, 1833 in this church. Offering 2,500 seats, the Michel is the largest church in Hamburg.The church has five organs including a Marcussen organ and a large Steinmeyer organ. The altar is 20 meters tall and was built from costly marble in 1910
