Take a tour of Hamburg Town Hall in Hamburg, Germany – part of the World’s Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Hamburg Town Hall is easily recognizable when the sun gleaming off of its turquoise roof. At the peak of its lofty neo-Renaissance tower, the building is an impressive 367 feet tall.
After the previous town hall burned down in 1842, this new one was constructed over 11 years and was inaugurated in 1897.
The massive building houses at least 647 rooms, with even some secret rooms which have been discovered throughout its existence.
The town hall can be found in the Old Town district, at the city's center, near the shore of its lake.
It remains the seat of the local government, and as a city landmark is also partially open to visitors.
