Hamburg, Port city in northern Germany
The city extends across both sides of the Elbe River, containing 2,500 bridges that connect numerous islands and waterways within its metropolitan area.
Following the Great Fire of 1842, Hamburg reconstructed its central district with new sandstone buildings and created a network of sophisticated fire-prevention waterways.
The Elbphilharmonie concert hall, built upon an old warehouse with 2,100 seats, demonstrates Hamburg's transformation from industrial port to international music center.
The Hamburg Card provides unlimited access to public transportation and offers discounts at more than 150 tourist establishments across the metropolitan region.
The Miniatur Wunderland railroad exhibition features 15,400 meters of track connecting detailed replicas of Hamburg, Scandinavia, America, and Switzerland.
