Hamburg Overview
Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, is connected to
the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and
also contains large areas of parkland. Near its core, Inner Alster lake
is dotted with boats and surrounded by cafes. The city's central
Jungfernstieg boulevard connects the Neustadt (new town) with the
Altstadt (old town), home to landmarks like 18th-century St. Michael’s
Church.
