Things to do in Port of Hamburg
Have you ever seen the characteristic image of proud harbor cranes rising along numberless jetties on the banks of a wide majestic river, that seems to open its arms to embrace the sea? It's the Port of Hamburg, the biggest port in Germany, also tenderly called "Gateway to the World". The date of its foundation - 7 May 1189 - represents the biggest annual anniversary for the city.
Still more than 60 miles away from the North Sea, the port is located in a strategic position, in which two rivers, the Alster and the Bille, join the Elbe - one of the most important German trade routes that crosses the whole country. A fine network of big and small channels, so called "Fleeten", traverses the city donating such quarters as the historic Warehouse district and the modern HafenCity, with the world famous Elbe Philharmonic, an incomparable charm.

Reviews Port of Hamburg
“We hadden een geweldige gids voor dit prachtige gebouw. Echt een aanrader.”
“We used the recommended App but was not so user friendly as we couldn't prepare our trip looking at activities discount before the first day of our trip. But, excepted that issue, it has been really convenient to jump in any kind of transport, even the ferries at any time of the day + some discount”
