Hamburg Cruises
Surrounded by water, and located on the River Elbe, Hamburg has a heritage stretching back over 700 years, where many of the historic buildings and monuments are typical of the Hanseatic culture, such as the steeple of St. Nikolai, which was almost destroyed in World War II. A significant maritime city, Hamburg is crisscrossed with hundreds of canals and thousands of bridges, including the 17th century Zollenbrücke Bridge and the famous Köhlbrandbrücke – high enough for ships to pass underneath.

Uncover Hamburg's wartime history
Before the war, Hamburg had the largest Jewish community in Germany, which suffered a devastating fate under the Nazi regime. An art project of commemorative cobblestones (Stolpersteine) honours the victims, while buildings preserved from the concentration camp at Neuengamme serve as a memorial.
World’s largest model railway
Miniature Wonderland is a fun and fascinating attraction featuring theme worlds designed on a tiny scale, with over 1,000 trains, 260,000 figures and 4,110 buildings. Along with a miniature version of Hamburg, you can admire the Austrian Alps, the canals of Venice, the city lights of Venice and more.
