Hamburg - the Traditional Gateway to the World

The Free and Hanseatic city of Hamburg is, for many people, one of the greatest cities of all. Because of its music and film scene, because of its theatres and museums, because of its good shopping amenities, because of the sailing opportunities on the Alster or because of its harbor. Or because the metropolitan region of Hamburg offers such a wide selection of leisure activities. Or for a thousand other reasons. Simply because Hamburg is a true city with 1.7 million inhabitants and with many things worth to discover. While Hamburg and its harbor open the gate to the world of trade and transport, the TUHH and the NIT open up the gate to the world of knowledge. This secures Hamburg a place as one of the most important and interesting metropolis.
