Coastal city with a long history

The coastal charms of Hamburg mainly originate from the Port of Hamburg, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Warehouse District, and Kontorhaus District with Chile House. The Warehouse District consists of the largest warehouse groups in the world. As a perfect maritime warehouse, its modernized office buildings connect the past and the present. In the neighboring Kontorhaus District, there is an office building named “Chile House”, which is the oldest in Europe. In addition, Hamburg is also the second largest port in Europe. Apart from the large container ships and luxurious cruise ships that arrive here each year, thousands of tourists also come here, who walk along the seashore and cheer for the celebration of the port.

Hanseatic City Hamburg has always been reputed as the “Germany's Gate to the World”. At the end of the 19th Century, Alfred Ballin embarked on cruise ship cruising from Hamburg, and even until now, the world’s most beautiful and popular cruise ships arrive and depart from here daily. During the port celebration and Hamburg Cruise Ship Festival, the entire cruise ship fleet will begin cruising. Every year, more than 500,000 tourists from more than 100 countries will come here to see the spectacular view.
