Hamburg - Maritime Metropolis on the Waterfront

The metropolis on the waterfront is extraordinary: the distinct maritime character, the international outlook and the cosmopolitan attitudes make the Hanseatic City of Hamburg one of the most beautiful cities. Hanseatic elegance on Elbe and Alster, the historic Town Hall, the UNESCO Speicherstadt and Kontorhausviertel, the nightlife and the traditional Hamburg fish market are outlining the diversity of Hamburg as a tourist destination. With the Elbphilharmonie, a concert hall, Hamburg gained a new cultural and urban landmark and offers a viewing platform open to public, the Plaza, with a spectacular 360° panoramic view over the city and the port. Next to it beautiful red-brick facades, arched bridges and picturesque views characterise the scenery of the UNESCO World Heritage Speicherstadt, Hamburg’s historic warehouse district. The Miniatur Wunderland, the world´s largest miniature railway and tourist attraction No.1 in Germany is located here. The Beatles started their incredible career in the nightlife district of Hamburg and you can retrace here their steps on a tour.
