Hamburg, Germany's "gateway to the world", fascinates visitors with a mixture of maritime history, modern architecture and vibrant city life. Among the outstanding sights is the Port of Hamburg, one of the largest seaports in Europe, which is best experienced on a harbour tour. The Elbphilharmonie in the HafenCity district impresses with its outstanding acoustics and spectacular architecture. The historical journey continues in the Speicherstadt, the largest contiguous warehouse complex in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Hamburg residents and visitors alike can relax on the Inner and Outer Alster lakes. Museums, theatres and the Planten un Blomen park round off the diverse range of attractions. From 1911 onwards, Hamburg was the first home port of the Eye of the Wind, which was then called Friedrich.
