HAMBURG HIGHLIGHTS THE HARBOUR EXPERIENCE COSMOPOLITAN AND MARITIME In Hamburg, water is everywhere you go, and naturally nowhere more so than at the harbour. You can tell you’re close to the sea. The “Gateway to the World” has an unmistakable air of freedom, adventure and distant lands. Seagulls wheel and call, and the breeze bears a distinct tang. From the floating docks of Landungsbrücken to the busy container t erminals, there is a constant coming and going of cruise liners, freighters from all corners of the globe, grand old sailing ships and nimble small craft. HafenCity is perfect for a relaxed stroll, or to see and be seen. The Landungsbrücken docks offer the best view of the harbour.
