Spotlight: City Trip to Hamburg

Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany, is a great destination to visit year-round.
Hamburg's harbor, one of the biggest ports in the world, the two rivers Alster and Elbe , and 2.300 bridges (more than Venice and Amsterdam combined) create a fantastic maritime and romantic atmosphere.

When visiting Hamburg in winter, make sure to pack some warm clothes - it gets very cold. But you can also look forward to a special Hamburg winter experience: Ice skating on the beautiful lake Binnenalster in the heart of the city.
