ABOUT HAMBURG

The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg) is Germany's second-largest city and, at the same time, one of Germany's 16 federal states or Bundesländer. Prior to the formation of the modern German state, Hamburg for centuries enjoyed a status as de facto independent city state and regional power and trade hub in the North Sea. Although situated over 100 km (62 mi) upriver from the North Sea on the Elbe, Hamburg has been one of Europe's most important ports for centuries, as reflected in its full name referencing the Hanseatic League.

MY HIDDEN TIPPS

As in any other city trip, the best way to explore the city is to have someone, who could show you the city around.

After a long day of walking, everyone deserves a good food, so the restaurants are not excluded. 😋

P.S. Don't forget your wind jacket! 💨
