Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg is the second-largest city in Germany and the eighth-largest city in the European Union. Hamburg is a showpiece of modern architecture, in which historic buildings stand alongside towering steel-and-glass skyscrapers. Much of the city’s attractions are located quite far apart, so visitors are forewarned that taxis and the various means of public transport will be needed to cover more than the sites of interest that are clustered in the centre.

It has become a media and industrial centre, with plants and facilities belonging to Airbus, Blohm + Voss and Aurubis.
