The Elbe and the many canals that meander through the city characterize the cityscape and give Hamburg an incomparable charm.
The Speicherstadt, the largest warehouse complex in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the modern Elbphilharmonie concert hall represent the perfect blend of tradition and innovation. The numerous green spaces and parks, such as Planten un Blomen or the Stadtpark, offer relaxation amidst the urban backdrop.
The Hanseatic architecture, the magnificent merchants' houses and the lively districts such as St. Pauli or the Schanzenviertel give the city character and diversity. Hamburg is also a city of culture, with countless theaters, museums and music events.
