Hamburg. Day 1

Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, resides between the River Alster and the River Elbe. 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.

Hamburg's rivers and canals are crossed by around 2,500 bridges, making it the city with the highest number of bridges in Europe.

The name Hamburg comes from the first permanent building on the site, a castle which the Emperor Charlemagne ordered constructed in AD 808. The original name Hammaburg, burg meaning castle or fort. The origin of the Hamma term remains uncertain.

We saw the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg (views were amazing), the Port of Hamburg, Speicherstadt, Alter Elbtunnel, St Paulie Piers, St Nikolai Church ( just from the outside - we've seen a lot of churches), Cap San Diago, Pont De Köhlbrand....
