One of Germany’s historic port cities, Hamburg boasts a medley of architectural styles, with many significant landmark buildings.
Great efforts have been made to ensure that natural beauty plays a role in the life of the city- the Alster lake, in the middle of Hamburg, is a beautiful parkland, and a major attraction for tourists and residents alike.
Numerous festivals and events ensure that the city’s cultural life is not neglected- for example, the yearly ‘birthday party’ for the Hamburg Harbour, where ships of all nations congregate to celebrate Hamburg’s maritime history.
