Discover Hamburg
Welcome to Hamburg, Germany's second-largest city and main port. For centuries, Hamburg has served as a cosmopolitan hub and international influencer, which is evident in the city's music, culinary scene and historic districts. Thanks to the hundreds of canals crossing the city, linking it to the North Sea via the Elbe River, Hamburg boasts a maritime atmosphere that often feels more Scandinavian than Bavarian. Given its countless merits, Hamburg is the perfect destination for travelers wanting to experience all the charms and excitement this German gem has to offer.
