About the destination

Hamburg, a city with a rich trading history spanning centuries, is a bustling blend of Hanseatic commerce and global sophistication. Despite significant damage during WWII, this attractive city still retains much of its distinctive northern German architecture, characterized by copper-roofed brick buildings. Its beautiful parks and lakes contribute to Hamburg's reputation as the Venice of the north. The city's vibrant cultural scene adds even more life to this expansive port city. Hamburg's old town is laced with charming canals that stretch from the Alster to the Elbe. The elaborately decorated Rathaus dominates the city center, with the equally impressive St. Michaeliskirche nearby. Ascend the towering spire of this beautiful baroque church for a breathtaking view. Near the Rathaus, you'll find the Börse, suitably grand for this city of commerce, and the ruined St Nikolai church, which now serves as an anti-war memorial. For shopping enthusiasts, Pöseldrof is a must-visit. This delightful neighborhood is filled with upscale homes, quaint cafes, boutiques, and antique shops. Night owls will love the notorious St. Pauli district. Hamburg's dynamic and cool vibe is sure to surprise visitors. There's something for everyone in this city, whether it's the numerous parks, canals, bridges, or the beautiful lakes formed by the river Alster. Despite its seeming austerity, Hamburg is a city that will make you feel at home.
