The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, founded 1,200 years ago, developed around its port from which it derived its wealth and architecture. With around 50 museums, over 30 theatres and its historic monuments, including the famous St. Michael’s Church, Hamburg is also a recognised city of art and culture offering a variety of opportunities to visitors. In this city, criss-crossed by canals and through which the Alster River flows, the centre can feel like a seaside resort on sunny days.
