Hamburg
Hamburg has more bridges than Venice or Amsterdam. The breeze from overseas blows far into the city on the water with its cosmopolitan flair.
Trade always played an important role in Hamburg’s economy. Experience one of the greatest European trans-shipment centers – the harbour of Hamburg. A trip through the ware-house city enables you to sense the atmosphere of what it was once like, sacks of cocoa, coffee and tea are stored here and you can smell the aroma of nutmeg and curry.
Hamburg offers a high quality of life. Proud merchants‘ palaces and noble villas, elegant parks and numerous water routes dominate the city.
The quality and variety of the goods in the tempting shopping world with its glass passages are a point of honour in this city of traders and businessmen.
Active and enthusiastic visitors gather in Hamburg’s No. 1 entertainment mile – the „Reeperbahn“ to choose between musicals, travesty shows or the city’s No. 1 dance clubs. Whoever has not yet gone to bed after that, can make a side-trip to Hamburg’s fish market.
