O porto é o segundo maior terminal de containeres da Europa e Hafencity é o maior projeto de construção urbana da Europa. O rio Elba, onde se localiza o porto, tem sido de vital importância na modelagem do desenvolvimento da cidade, através dos tempos. O lago Alster é uma área de recreação, situado no coração da cidade. Blankenese é um subúrbio exclusivamente residencial; a igreja barroca de São Miguel (St. Michaelis) é o principal marco da cidade de Hamburgo. O distrito dos armazéns, Speicherstadt, é o maior complexo de antigos armazéns – e não podemos deixar de mencionar Reeperbahn, o renomado “distrito das luzes vermelhas”.Hamburg port and the Landungsbrücken jetties
The port is among the world's busiest transhipment ports. It is the gateway to the markets in north, central and eastern Europe, the bridge between continental Europe and the rest of the world and the most important overseas port for Scandinavia and central/eastern Europe. Harbour tours start from the 700 metre floating pontoon on the Landungsbrücken jetties.St. Michael's Church
Hamburg's skyline is defined by the steeples of its principal churches. The 132 metre tower of St. Michael, known locally as "Michel", is Hamburg's famous landmark. Climb the 453 steps to the viewing platform and be rewarded by fabulous views over Hamburg and the harbour."Speicherstadt" warehouse district
The 100-year-old warehouse district is between the Deichtor Halls and Baumwall. It is a very pretty quarter - not at all the kind of place visitors expect to find in an international port - with its Wilhelminian brick Gothic buildings, unusual gables and little towers. Behind the thick walls, high-value goods such as coffee, tea, cocoa, spices and tobacco are stored. This is also the location of the world's largest Oriental carpet store.
