HAMBURG - gateway to the world

(Updated January 2019)

Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, prides itself to be the "most beautiful city in the world". While this, of course, is just a highly exaggerated catchphrase, it actually is alluring with views that make you yearn for undiscovered shores - Germans call it 'Fernweh' (loosely 'aching for distance') - lots of maritime charm and its historic openness to the world.

Hence the other slogan - "gateway to the world" - takes it already much closer to its real assets.
Whereby the city owes this description rather to the fact that Hamburg is Europe's third largest industrial port and has connected it with the rest of the world over centuries.
