But it is not only its green spaces that make Hamburg a sustainable destination. The fact that Hamburgers have a green heart in the right place can be seen at every turn.

Germany's first zero waste coffee shop, Café In guter Gesellschaft, opened in Sternschanze. At the Raphael Hotel Wälderhaus you can dream under trees, the Greenpeace exhibition makes environmental protection tangible and no less than seven restaurants in Hamburg received the Michelin Green Star in 2022 for their environmentally and climate-friendly way of working. In Hamburg, sustainability also means showing social commitment. The Millerntor Gallery art festival works to ensure that people worldwide have access to clean drinking water, and in Europe's first integration hotel, the Stadthaushotel Hamburg, employees with and without disabilities work together.
