Hamburg - Maritime Charm of the North
Boasting a 1,200-year history, this attractive Hanseatic
City is Germany’s second largest and the port is one of
Europe’s most important. Its dynamism, multiculturalism
and hedonistic redlight district, the Reeperbahn, all arise
from its maritime history.
With its grand merchants’ houses and elegant promenades,
extravagant shopping arcades and a myriad of cultural sights,
international musicals and excellent restaurants, Hamburg is
fast becoming a top city break hotspot. One of Hamburg’s
main attractions is the harbour, the heart of the city, and
its lively St. Pauli district, famous for the vibrant nightlife.
Explore the waterfront with a boat tour of the harbour and
experience the city from a different perspective. A touch of
the exotic clings to the warehouse district and the city’s
trademark canals. With its many parks and gardens, Hamburg is
also Germany’s greenest city.
Insider Tip:
Get up early on a Sunday morning (5am – 9:30am) and head for the Fish Market. It’s colourful, boisterous and uniquely Hamburg!
