Hamburg – City on the Waterside

Hamburg is a trending city, and this has been the case since well before the spectacular opening of the Elbphilharmonie. The city on the River Elbe is hugely popular among international guests and residents alike, which has also been confirmed by various city rankings from around the world. The New York Times, for instance, praises the summer feeling to be experienced on the Elbe beach. And these are but a few declarations of love for Hamburg. What they all have in common: an understanding that life in Hamburg is shaped by contrast, for this city is both raw and beautiful.

Hamburg means...

Culture at the waterfront

Maritime museums, large concert halls, ships on which people celebrate and dance - the city coast of Hamburg has a lot to offer culturally. On the banks and on the water, cultural highlights pulsate in Hamburg and exude uniqueness into the world.

Hamburg means...

Life on the waterfront

An exceptional summer straight out of the picture book. This is despite the fact that many places in Northern Germany have a completely different reputation in other parts of the country. “It rains for one half of the year and the rest of the time the weather is just bad” – many would agree with this old saying.

Hamburg means...

Shipping and cruise

In Hamburg, the best and most well-known ocean liners in the world regularly enter and leave the harbour, which makes Hamburg a popular place for ship-spotters - 12 months out of the year.

The flair of Hamburg's Urban.Shore flows here

Hamburg radiates a unique maritime metropolitan flair. Whoever comes to Hamburg visits the harbour, the Speicherstadt, the Alster or the Elbe beach. They all have one thing in common: water. Water is the origin of life, has a magical effect on us and Hamburg is right in the middle! Experience the incomparable Urban.Shore in Hamburg for yourself!

Landungsbrücken

The floating dock - called the "Landungsbrücken" (landing stages) – is 700 metres long. Harbour tours and the HADAG steamers to Finkenwerder, Oevelgönne and Blankenese leave from this water "station". Impressive luxury cruisers also dock here from time to time.

Elbe beach

The Elbe beach near Övelgönne is a pretty hot tip in summer. When the temperatures rise and the sun burns, nothing is more refreshing than a jump into the cool water.
