Hamburg

About Hamburg

Hamburg is a city that’s playing in the big leagues when it comes to cool city breaks, even rivalling Berlin for the title of Most Happening German City. Its pulse runs through the quirky café culture, trendy galleries and independent theatres, and the food, fashion and football. At night the Reeperbahn district comes alive with cabarets, music venues, bars and nightclubs – an area famous for giving bands like The Beatles their start in underground music venues.

And while it might not be the first thing you think of when you hear ‘Hamburg’, it's all about life by the water. A bustling port city, Hamburg is home to endless canals, lakes, traditional seaside resorts, riverbank urban beaches, and cool ‘coastal’ clubs. Head to HafenCity on the River Elbe to experience Europe’s largest inner-city urban development, where you’ll find exciting eateries and the Elbphilharmonie; a major concert hall and staggering architectural icon that you really have to see to believe.
