Hamburg is the second largest city of Germany and is home for 1.8 million people. It is located at the banks of the river Elbe – between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea – and fascinates by its hanseatic atmosphere, its cultural diversity and the combination of historic and modern architecture.

The harbour

With the largest seaport in Germany – and the second largest in Europe – the city is a center of international trade. Visitors can explore the harbor by impressive boat sightseeing trips which offer special panorama on Hamburg. The historic Speicherstadt (warehouse district) built largely in the 19th century is also worth visiting. Here, you can explore the history of trade in Hamburg in different museums and see how traders in past and present cope with the varying water levels of the Elbe.

Culture

Hamburg is a lively metropolis, seven days per week, with a wide diversity of restaurants, cafes and shopping areas. In the evening and night you can enjoy the variety of cultural venues. You can choose between the program of 31 theatres, 6 music halls and 10 cabarets. Or you enjoy yourself in one of Hamburg’s clubs, discotheques and bars, for example, at the world-famous Reeperbahn or in the more fashionable district Schanzenviertel.
