The Harbor and Historic Hamburg
Narrow cobblestone streets with richly decorated mansions lead to churches of various faiths, reflecting the diverse origins of the sailors and merchants drawn to the city. Small museums and old restaurants occupy buildings that once served as sailor taverns. Of note here are Hamburg's Free Port, the Gothic St. Michaeliskirche, the Warehouse district, and the ambitious HafenCity.
