General presentation
Hambourg
Large northern port town, between Speicherstadt, Elbe, canals, musical districts, urban lakes and contemporary architecture.
To understand what Hamburg is, look at Speicherstadt, Elbphilharmonie and Hamburg Port. These places give us a view of a territory marked by the big city, urban life, riverscapes and heritage and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: wet weather and hard city. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Remarkable location
Bad Bramstedt
Bad Bramstedt is a spa resort in Schleswig-Holstein, situated between plains, small rivers and easy paths. From Hamburg, it offers a spectacular breakout, rather made up of baths, walks in the parks and a quiet center with low houses.
Place
Speicherstadt
The Speicherstadt gives Hamburg its decoration of bricks, canals and old warehouses connected by bridges. The walk is particularly beautiful when the facades are reflected in the water, and it tells the harbour past of the city without leaving its center.
Place
Elbphilharmonie
The Elbphilharmonie marks the port of Hamburg by its contrast between warehouse base and undulating glass crown. Even without a concert, the climb to the Plaza offers a strong experience, with views of the Elbe, the docks and the city in transformation.
Town or village
Port de Hambourg
Hamburg's port is discovered by docks, ferries and views of cranes, ponds and large ships. It gives the city a very special energy, both industrial and maritime, especially when it joins Landungsbrücken or when it takes a boat on the Elbe.
