6 must-visit attractions in Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany, is known as the "city on the water" and also has the most bridges of any city in Europe. Hamburg has the Alster Lake embedded in the city, the baroque-style St. Michael's Church, and the world cultural heritage site, the Kontorhausviertel. When the weather is good, you can ride a boat and cruise on the lake, shuttle through the bridges, and enjoy the ancient and modern water city.

Port of Hamburg

Known as the 'Gateway to the World,' the Port of Hamburg is Germany's largest port, located on the lower Elbe River. Here, you can take a boat tour to wander through the city's waterways and enjoy the urban scenery; or take a stroll along the port's edge, where signboards explain the past and future of the Port of Hamburg.

Miniatur Wunderland

Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is a miniature world featuring 5,000 buildings, 15,000 meters of railway tracks, 250,000 trees, and 25 individual figurines, among other things. These elements are constructed to scale to create various stunning and highly realistic scenes. The CNC railway model is the largest in the world and has been included in the Guinness World Records.
Built in the 17th century, this church is a symbol of Hamburg, located west of the town hall. It is the most important and beautiful Baroque-style church in northern Germany. The interior of the church is predominantly white, supported by four large columns, and features luxurious and exquisite decorations. The bell tower is the most striking part of the church, offering a panoramic view of the entire city of Hamburg when climbed.

Warehouse District

The 19th-century warehouse district has now become Hamburg's most distinctive neighborhood, with various museums, design studios, restaurants, and more distributed across the land and water routes. Much like Beijing's 798 Art District, it has now become a new tourist attraction in Hamburg. The Warehouse District at night offers a unique view, with 800 lights illuminating the red brick walls and stone bridges, creating a stunning visual effect.

Bauhaus Building Materials Market

Although it is an office building, it has been selected as a World Cultural Heritage site. This building is made up of nearly 5 million bricks and is considered a model of trade buildings in Hamburg's history. The triangular shape, reddish-brown exterior, and uneven balconies all give this building a sense of mystery.

Elbe Avenue

Elbe Avenue is built along the Elbe River and is 10 kilometers long. It is the busiest street in Hamburg, and the buildings on this street represent the characteristics of Hamburg, with each building having its own story.
