Why Hamburg? Hamburg is Germany's maritime city of red-brick warehouses, canals and a famous nightlife strip, built around a vast working port. The city is known for the port and harbour, red-brick Speicherstadt, the Reeperbahn nightlife and the Elbphilharmonie.
Good to know: May–September for harbour walks and outdoor cafés; expect rain year-round, so pack a jacket. The U-Bahn, S-Bahn and harbour ferries cover the city; the centre and Alster lake are walkable.
