Top Reasons to Go

Harbor Cruises: Take a bumpy harbor tour through the Hamburger Freihafen, absorb the grand scenery of the city, and gaze at the seafaring steel hulks ready to ply the oceans of the world.

Historic Harbor District: Travel back in time and walk the quaint cobblestone alleys around Deichstrasse and the Kontorhausviertel.

Kunsthalle Hamburg and the Deichtorhallen: Spend an afternoon browsing through the fantastic art collections at two of Germany's leading galleries of modern art.

Retail Therapy: Indulge your inner shopper at the posh shopping arcades Hamburg is famous for; then stroll down elegant Jungfernstieg and end the afternoon at a charming downtown café.

Sin City: Stroll down Reeperbahn, browse in the quirky sex shops, and dive into the bizarre nightlife of Europe's biggest red-light district.
