Hamburg - Venice of the North

Hamburg is Germany's second largest city, a key commercial hub, an international harbor and a media and cultural center. Located on the Elbe and Alster Rivers, the metropolis is steeped in Hanseatic tradition. World class performances and concerts are held at the St Pauli theater district. Hamburg boasts an intricate network of canals and bridges. There are more than 2400 bridges in the city, more than Venice. During my stay in Hamburg, I strolled along the sides of the canal and had a drink at an al fresco cafe before heading towards the green-roofed Rathaus.
