Landungsbrücken (Piers)

Landungsbrücken (Piers) Review

A visit to the port is not complete without a tour of one of the most modern and efficient harbors in the world. There's usually a breeze in Germany's largest port, so dress accordingly. Barge tours of the harbor leave from the main passenger terminal, along with a whole range of ferries and barges heading to other destinations in the North Sea. Hamburgers and tourists flock to the area because of the port, the view, souvenir stores, and the variety of snack and ice cream shops.
