The view from St. Petri is truly amazing.
You get to photograph all of Hamburg from a high vantage point.

Photography Tips

Be aware that the way up is 544 stairway steps so it is tiring and take it slow.
But it's totally worth it once you're up there.
A tripod is needed for long exposures, also bring some cloth to clean up the window/glass from where you're going to shoot.

Travel Information

It's in the center of Hamburg, and public transport is preferred.
The entry fee is 4 EUR (as of May 2023) and it's open until 17:00 (which means that you are expected to leave by 17:00 - so arrive at 16:00).
If you come by car, parking spaces are marked on the map.
There is no elevator, so you have to climb 544 steps. The church is situated in the city center, so you better use public traffic.
The opening hours are Monday to Saturday 11 am to 4:30 pm and Sunday 11:30 am to 4:30 pm.

I like the way the day photo shows a "typical" photo of the church and the evening photo shows what patience can provide for a photo. Obviously you took the time to go back when the conditions were ripe and grabbed a beautiful shot. So, was it shot through a closed window?

Hi Jay. Thanks and so glad you like it. Yes, there are round windows on top through which you can photograph any angle, of course this one being the bucket list angle :)

This is a photo of the town hall in Hamburg, Germany. It appears to have been taken near or in Kirch St. Petri. Is this photo a drone shot? It appears to be HDR so maybe that would be tough to do by drone. Or was this taken from the tower at Kirch St. Petri? This is one of the coolest shots of the town hall so I was curious how you were able to capture it. The 360 photo of Kirch St. Petri's tower on Google Maps appears to show all the windows locked. So it would be tough to obtain a glare free photo. By the way, you are an amazing photographer. I just followed you on IG. Keep up the great work!
