Hamburg
A UNESCO warehouse district, a concert hall on a brick plinth, and a record cruise season.
Hamburg is a port city whose historic warehouse quarter and Kontorhaus district carry UNESCO listing, and whose newer waterfront is anchored by the Elbphilharmonie. It handles a large and growing share of German cruise traffic without ever feeling primarily like a cruise town.
