These photos are already from few years ago, but I don't think we see Hamburg too often in here. It's the second largest city in Germany with approximately 1.7 million people living in the metropolitan area. Although not directly on the coast, Hamburg is an old Hansa city with one of the largest ports in Europe. Enjoy with more to come.
Leaving from Berlin.
Hamburg Hbf is one of busiest rail transit hubs in Europe.
There are several S-Bahn lines and 3 U-Bahn subway lines.
The subway is called Hochbahn because it travels above ground in many places.
New office complex nearby city center.
Dammtor S-Bahn station.
Tallest building in Hamburg.
Binnen Alster is one of the two lakes in city center. Both are popular recreational areas among people.
Hamburg is a city of water and canals. The city has more canals and bridges than Venice, London and Amsterdam - combined!
Hamburg's old city hall is spectacular despite having been rebuilt after second world war.

Next up: Hamburg's historic Speicherstad. This area used to be center of commerce and warehouses back in the 19th century.
Next to Speicherstadt is HafenCity which will be a large extention to the city center. It is built where city's port used to be before being moved downstream Elbe River.
Lots of modern European architecture in HafenCity area.
Elbphilharmonie is a neverending construction project. This huge concert hall and upscale residential tower is years late and currently expected to open in 2017 (over 5 years late in schedule). The building will be city's new landmark on the bank of River Elbe.
