Port of Hamburg as a magnet for tourists

In Hamburg, the port is not simply a factor in the economy, but also a great tourist attraction, being so centrally located. The comings and goings of the ships and the loading and discharge of goods at state-of-the-art container terminals are all equally fascinating. The port also houses long-established leisure and cultural facilities. Speicherstadt houses several museums and various entertainment centres. Soon the new HafenCity will be offering additional sightseeing highlights. The best way of discovering the port is on a round trip by boat – or by taking one of the ferry lines linking the North and South banks of the Elbe.
