Day Hamburg, GermanyArrive 08:00 AM
"Hamburg is one of Germanys most cosmopolitan cities, with celebrated cultural venues, leading museums and lively shopping and dining districts. The citys character is powered by the mighty River Elbe, which passes by stylish neighborhoods on its way to the North Sea. Its two lakes are also among Hamburgs most famous features, where residents come to sail, kayak and canoe while others bike and walk on the shaded pathways along their shores. Often referred to as Germanys Gateway to the World, due to its role as the biggest commercial port in the country (and the second largest in Europe), the city has a maritime atmosphere and bustle. Hamburg has launched ships since the Middle Ages, but it was also instrumental in launching the musical career of the Beatles, who played in multiple venues on the Reeperbahn in the citys St. Pauli district. It was here that they recorded the single that would launch them to stardom, ""Please Please Me."" Today, with two of its portside districts recently added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, upscale shopping districts and a distinct European flavor, Hamburg retains an energetic and eclectic atmosphere where historic and modern charms meet.

It has the largest Market Square in Germany, anchored by the wrought-iron Waterworks from 1602, and surrounded by stellar buildings. The city was ruled by Sweden from 1648 until 1903. It was heavily damaged during World War II, and was a part of the GDR after the war until 1990. There are many fine examples of Hanseatic era patrician gable houses in Wismar, most notably the Alter Schwede (Old Swede) from 1380.

The sights of old buildings, cobbled streets and the tower- and turret-dotted skyline lend fairy-tale charmthis was, after all, the home of author Hans Christian Andersen. But make no mistake: This is a thoroughly modern city with international clout. Restaurants around the world draw inspiration from the New Nordic cuisine pioneered by Noma and other Copenhagen restaurants, while Danish design from this century and the last is universally admired and coveted. Urban planners flock here to try to work out just how the city remains so livable and yet so functional, and despite its wealth of old buildings, Copenhagens not locked in the past; there are also thrilling examples of modern architecture. Copenhagen is a city thats easy to find things to do and explore on foot or by excellent public transport, where everyone speaks perfect English, the food is fresh and innovative, and theres plenty of locally brewed beerwhich, of course, is best enjoyed sitting by the water on a sunny day.
