About Hamburg
Germany's maritime gem — the Speicherstadt warehouse district (UNESCO), Miniatur Wunderland, Elbphilharmonie concert hall, harbour cruises, and the famous Reeperbahn nightlife.
Hamburg is Germany's second city and a maritime powerhouse. The Speicherstadt (UNESCO) is the world's largest warehouse district — now filled with museums and coffee roasters. Miniatur Wunderland is the world's largest model railway (and one of Germany's top attractions). The Elbphilharmonie concert hall is an architectural marvel. The port is fascinating — take a harbour cruise. For Gulf visitors, Hamburg has excellent halal options in the Schanzenviertel and St. Georg districts.
