ABOUT HAMBURG

Hamburg is may not be as famous as some other cities in Germany but it is quietly impressive. Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city, home to the biggest port and is also one of the wealthiest. The city is all about its harbour – there is a strong maritime spirit, the famous Reeperbahn is just around the corner and its vibrant neighbourhoods stem from there.
