Life at the waterside

Hamburg means Life at the waterside

The River Elbe entices people out thanks to its refreshing breaths of wind and it offers both adventure and recreation, making the heat more tolerable. The sparkling waterfront is worth a closer look, as it shows how life next to the water makes Hamburg something special. After all, the view of our Elbe is ever-present! With a stiff breeze on your skin, you can sense the sea on the horizon while the seagulls sing the praises of this city and its people. It just takes a few steps out of your front door, one foot forward then the next, following the warm sunshine and the scent of sea salt – and there you will find this wonderful Hamburg view.
