Hanseatic city Hamburg is the second-largest city in Germany with the busiest railway station in the country. Despite its size, the city has a quiet character due to the low buildings, the many greenery and water. In the middle of the city lie the Alstermeren, which were laid out in the 13th for drinking water supply, but are nowadays a pleasant recreational area where picnics and sailing can be done.

Hamburg is an important port city and an Alstermeren tour through the harbor shouldn´t be missed when visiting this beautiful city. The city itself has beautiful historic buildings due to the riches resulting from trade. For those who want to go shopping, Hamburg is an excellent destination. It´s bursting with (chic) stores.
