Hamburg and its landmarks
Hamburg is a major city in northern Germany whose identity is closely connected to its port and waterways. Its central districts combine historic buildings, contemporary architecture, cultural venues, shopping streets and a wide range of restaurants.
One of the city's most distinctive areas is Speicherstadt, the historic warehouse district and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its red-brick buildings and canals reflect Hamburg's trading and maritime history and form an important part of the city's urban landscape.
The Port of Hamburg is another defining feature of the destination. The waterfront and surrounding districts provide opportunities to discover Hamburg's maritime character alongside its cultural and architectural heritage.
Staying at INNSiDE Hamburg Hafen provides a convenient base for discovering these different sides of the city. You can also find more information about the destination through Meliá's Hamburg destination page.
