Do & See

Since the medieval days of the Hanseatic League, Hamburg has retained its free spirit and status as an international port city, with the wealth and cosmopolitan vibe that comes with the constant ebb and flow of seafarers. The edgy atmosphere can still be felt in the bars and clubs on the Reeperbahn in St Pauli — an area that has entertained sailors for centuries. To explore the more relaxing and peaceful side of Hamburg, wander its canals or stroll along the Alster Lakes in the summer. Hamburg is also embracing modernity. The new HafenCity district adds a distinctive contemporary touch to the waterfront, and the instantly iconic Elbphilharmonie is stunning both inside and out.
