The environs of the city offer you pleasant zones of excursion: the
Elbe river, the moors of Lüneburg (Lüneburger Heide), the lakes in
Holstein and Mecklenburg and the beaches of the Baltic Sea and North
Sea. When we think about the city of Hamburg, we immediately think about a great
seaport. Nevertheless, Hamburg is not in the coast, but up to 120
km of the sea and based on the Elbe river, that ends at the North
Sea. Hamburg is well-known like as Germany's door to the world. In
its port are working 80,000 people, which turns it into the greatest port of
Europe, and thanks to it the city is one of the more important
economic centers of the Germanic country.
The port of the hanseática city of Hamburg has been existing for 800
years. Every year, during two week ends of May, impressive boats of 3
or 4 masts meet and the peculiar ones are crowded around in the
bridges to give the welcome them.
