Hamburg Maps and Orientation
(Hamburg, Germany, DE)



One of the most prosperous and wealthy cities in the whole of Europe, Hamburg lies to the far north of Germany. Best known for its enormous harbour, which has long been responsible for much of Hamburg's success and thriving economy, the region is always dominated by a series of lakes and waterways.

Home to a population of around 1.7 million, the city of Hamburg has grown to become the second-biggest city in the whole of the Federal Republic of Germany and has much to offer in the way of tourism. The main commercial hub of the city is without doubt the Merchant's district, where many enormous red-brick buildings dominate the area and house many notable German and international companies.
