Hamburg, officially the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, is the second-largest city in Germany after Berlin and sixth-largest city in the European Union, with a population of over 1.9 million. The Hamburg Metropolitan Region has a population of over 5.1 million and is the tenth-largest metropolitan region by GDP in the European Union. At the base of the Jutland Peninsula, the 110 km (68 mi)-long Elbe estuary begins in Hamburg, at the confluence of the Alster and Bille. Hamburg is one of Germany's three city-states alongside Berlin and Bremen, and is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south. The Port of Hamburg is Germany's largest and Europe's third-largest, after Rotterdam and Antwerp. The local dialect is a variant of Low Saxon.

As the second-largest city in Germany, Hamburg has a lot to offer. Whether you're interested in art, history, or simply want to experience the local cuisine, Hamburg has something for everyone. One of the most popular attractions in the city is the Elbphilharmonie, a stunning concert hall that is known for its impressive architecture and acoustic quality.

If you're interested in history, you won't want to miss a visit to the St. Michaelis Church, also known as the Michel. This iconic church has been a symbol of Hamburg for over 350 years and is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting the city. Another historical site worth visiting is the Speicherstadt, an area of the city that was once a bustling port and is now a UNESCO World Heritage site.
