Reiseführer Hamburg

Whether simple sailing ships or container giants – the vessels entering the Hamburg harbor have always carried more than just exotic goods like coffee, cocoa, or tobacco; they brought people and their cultures with them. Thus, the harbor has always been formative for the city’s society: tolerant, cosmopolitan, and always bustling. Between the cries of seagulls at the landing bridges and the loud calls of vendors at the fish market, you can still experience the historic harbor in many ways today – the Baedeker Hamburg will guide you!

Seafarer songs blare from the jukebox. Suit-wearers, tourists, and locals sway together, while the bartender charges just 2 euros for an Astra beer – that’s the vibe at Silbersack, Hamburg’s cult pub in the St. Pauli district. It’s just one of many establishments on the Reeperbahn, where quirky tradition meets trendy modernity. However, the Davidwache at Spielbudenplatz remains unchanged, overseeing the well-being of the twelve million tourists who visit each year. This is also why the district is a worthwhile, exciting, and entertaining part of the city to explore with the new Baedeker.

A feeling of majestic tranquility envelops you as you watch the brightly lit ocean liners entering or leaving the harbor at night. Such not immediately obvious, but rather magical moments are the focus of the new Baedeker. A wonderful place for this: the tower of St. Michael’s Church. With the nighttime Hamburg at your feet, you can even have a drink served to you. Especially beautiful, of course, during fireworks or ship parades!.
