Introduction to Hamburg

For many people – and of course for us too – Hamburg is the most beautiful city in Germany. A metropolis with a high quality of life and many exciting contrasts that make the city unique. In Hamburg, tradition meets modernity, classic meets pop culture, tranquility meets lively hustle and bustle, and Hanseatic serenity meets cosmopolitan charm. Hamburg is a city that is constantly changing and yet always remains true to its roots.

At home in the north of Germany

Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and the largest city in Europe that is not a capital city. Located in the north of Germany, Hamburg is a city defined by water. Of course, as a Hanseatic city, Hamburg is characterised by the port and trade; the river Elbe is the city’s lifeline.

And water is also predominant in the normal cityscape. Numerous canals and waterways criss-cross Hamburg, creating an image that exudes a certain Hanseatic calm. In Hamburg, everything is in motion, everything is in flux.

In the immediate vicinity of Hamburg, you will find both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea within short distance. All the components that make up northern Germany can be found here: vast landscapes, wind and water. Also nearby is the capital Berlin, which can be reached by train in under two hours.
