Welcome to Hamburg

With its distinctive maritime flair and character, the Hanseatic city of Hamburg is one of the most popular destinations in Europe. It is not without reason that the port city is often called the “gateway to the world”. It offers its visitors unique experiences in terms of shopping, nature and culture.

The city’s glamour and natural beauty are the hallmarks of Hamburg, with a wide range of hotels, restaurants, theatres and shops, chic beaches along the Elbe, the green banks of the Alster, a vibrant harbour district and landmarks that look back on more than 1,200 years of history.

Several guided boat tours depart daily from the Landungsbruecken, meandering through the many container ships, elegant yachts and steam-powered ocean liners. The port of Hamburg is the largest port in Germany. Did you know that Hamburg imports 700,000 tonnes of unroasted coffee beans every year?

Hamburg’s UNESCO World Heritage Site is the Speicherstadt, home to the world’s largest single complex of traditional brick warehouses resting on thousands of oak columns and traversed by narrow waterways, the so called fleets. Noble merchants once traded there with coffee, tea and spices.
