Hamburg

Hamburg sits on the River Elbe in northern Germany, where tidal waters and canals shape a major port city. The Alster, dammed in the city centre, forms the Binnenalster and Außenalster lakes, bringing broad stretches of water into the dense urban core. Speicherstadt’s red-brick warehouses, built around the turn of the 20th century on timber piles, form a UNESCO World Heritage site with the neighbouring Kontorhaus district. In HafenCity, the Elbphilharmonie rises above a former warehouse base. Hamburg’s maritime character also endures in its fish market and harbour ferries.
