The Churches of Hamburg

When you come to Hamburg you should definitely see its churches. Their spires add a great deal of charm to the skyline of the city. The five principal churches (Hauptkirchen) include St. Michaeliskirche (Saint Michael’s Church), St. Nikolaikirche (Saint Nicholas' Church), St. Petrikirche (Saint Peter’s Church), St. Jacobikirche (Saint Jacob’s Church) and St. Katharinenkirche (Saint Catherine’s Church).

Canals, Bridges and Tunnels

One of the characteristic features of Hamburg is its network of canals. They are crossed by more than 2300 bridges. This makes Hamburg a record-holder because no other city in the world has such a great number of bridges. The tunnels help the city to solve the problem of heavy traffic.

The harbour and canal boat tours make sightseeing in Hamburg unforgettable indeed.
