Hamburg and the world
 Hamburg, gateway to the world, the beautiful, sunny city in the north: the green city on the waterfront is not considered to be one of the most beautiful cities in Germany for nothing. Even the otherwise so reserved inhabitants of the Hanseatic town can hardly disguise their pride in the city.Everyone who has visited the city is thrilled by its flair and maritime charm. Whether the river Elbe or Alster, port district, warehouse district (Speicherstadt), fish market or Reeperbahn, every day there is something new to discover, experience or to marvel at. As the second largest city in Germany with 1,8 million inhabitants, Hamburg offers unique choices for its visitors: art and culture of the finest, international musicals, ambitious and entertaining theatre, a diversity of hotels, excellent restaurants, exquisite shopping malls, zesty night life, and plenty of historic sights have all left a mark on the city’s 1200-year-old history. Hamburg is youthful, modernly friendly and cosmopolitan - and at the same time a city full of extremes. On the one hand, there is the colourful but poorest district, St Pauli, with the Reeperbahn, the most sinful mile in the world; on the other hand, the neat and wealthy quarter of Blankenese with its countless mansions and romantic, beautiful views of hillsides and adjacent beaches along the river Elbe. Every corner in Hamburg appears to be different and yet everything falls in place harmoniously. And in the Hamburg Harbour, in the very heart of the city, vessels from all over the world come to dock. But what really distinguishes Hamburg is a certain attitude towards life - but here you have to convince yourself. We welcome you to our enchanting city and wish you an interesting and relaxing stay.
