Maritime sightseeing in Hamburg
Hamburg is almost 100 kilometers away from the North Sea. And yet it is Germany’s largest port and one of the most important in the world. And so the places near the port are also among the most popular among Hamburg’s guests. A tour on a harbour ferry takes us close to giant container ships and offers great sights on both river banks
Follow us on a maritime sightseeing tour.
Port
When Hamburgers are “at the port,” they are usually still a good distance away from the port. This is because the Elbe River usually lies between them and the actual port.
Fischmarkt
Up to 70.000 visitors come to the traditional Fish Market that takes places on early Sunday morning only.
Landing bridges
Once a terminal for commuters to the shipyards south of the Elbe, the Landungsbrücken are now the starting point for harbor ferries and tours.
HafenCity
In two decades, the area of the former harbour on the northern bank has become Hamburg’s newest living and business district.
