    Der Hafen -
    U3 Baumwall; U3, S1, S3 Landungsbrücken

    I have been to the “Hafen” many, many times with ever changing impressions. It is not exactly a beautiful place with many ugly buildings and big ships and so on. But it all contributes to a very special feeling. It is like to be at the sea, your nose smells the salt in the air and your head goes on a journey to distant places. It is the reason why Hamburg is usually considered as “a gate to the world”.
    Especially nice are the evenings there with the sunset over the river Elbe.

    Europe's second largest port (the 1st is the one of Rotterdam) offers many different harbour tours. The fish market at the oldest open-air market, dating back to 1703, is a "must" (Fish Auction Hall). The old Elbe tunnel is 24 m below the river, there are two tunnels which lead at the southside of Elbe.

    Hamburg - Port and Quay

    Deep-water Elba, port cranes, sea vessels, predictably, made an impression of Hamburg, as one of the largest ports of the world. The convenient quay along the river, crowds of tourists and picturesque views at architecture monuments and quarters of buildings framing them made an impression about Hamburg, as about tourist sight.

    If you visit Hamburg you must make a tour through the harbour by ship. You can see big ships, loding many containers from the land. Normaly one ship stays three days in the harbour and than it starts and brings the shipment far away to other countries.
    But take a jacked with you because it is very windy and cold on the ship.

    The harbour lies on the river called 'Elbe'

    Make a trip by boat through the HARBOUR OF HAMBURG. You will see a lot of big ships and the 'Speicherstadt'. It´s very interesting.

    Taking a tour of the harbor (hafen) was truely an eye-opener. Even though my German language is 'nichts sehr gut,' and I could barely understand what was being described, the tour reveals the massiveness of the operation. The shipping industry in Hamburg is vast!

    Make a 'Hafenrundfahrt', a boat trip through the harbour. Take a barkasse; those smaller boats are getting into the old 'Speicherstadt' and through all the canals. The bigger ships won´t!

    Ships and water everywhere! Hamburg has the most bridges in Europe, not Venice!!!!

    The best part of whole Hamburg is the port definitely!!! It's a huge industrial port and I just love it. Take a boat to do a 'Hafenrundfahrt', it's
    really interesting and the port is really gorgeous. At least if you are into ships and industrial ports (like me). It's one of the biggest ports in Europe.

    -You should make a trip through the
    harbour , start at Landungsbrücken
    and see the container harbour and the Speicherstadt (world biggest connected warehouse district). More informations at
    www.hamburg-tourism.de

    -Walk around the Speicherstadt after your harbour cruise and visit the Spice Museum.

    -Visit the 'Dialog in the dark' experience where you are guided from blind people through dark rooms with noise and smell. Reservations under Phone: 0700-44332000 and at www.dialogue-in-the-dark.com/home.html.

    -Visit the Fischmarkt every Sunday morning from 6.30am -10am. Not only fish but fruits, vegetables, plants, souvenirs, animals and lots more. Enjoy the life music, drinks and food at the Fischauktionshalle.

    - The picture shows the city hall of Hamburg-

    The harbour and the river Elbe, the Alster and all the green parks arround the city.
