What if Hamburg’s time had finally come? For a long time, the Hanseatic capital remained in the shadow of the German capital and its charms too little recognised in Europe. Yet the city where Brahms was born boasts extraordinary beauty and a quality of life that is, dare we say it, far superior to that of its Berlin rival. Its districts (St. Georg, Eppendorf, Rothenburg and the sultry Reeperbahn, where the Beatles made their first steps in the early 1960s) form the map of a fascinating city.
But in Hamburg, a city at the confluence of the Alster, Bille and Elbe rivers, it’s the port that sets the pulse of human activity, and the bustling warehouse district, known as Speicherstadt, is bursting with activity.
This weekend, you can attend the ballet Slow Burn at the legendary Hamburg Staatsoper and admire the work of famous choreographers Aszure Barton and William Forsyth.
