A harbour city located in the far north of Germany, Hamburg is the media capital of Germany. The nightlife is fabulous and its red-light district is one of the oldest in the country. It is a youthful city with a vibrant live music scene and great bar and café life. The city centre, lies between the Außenalster Lake and the Elbe and you would never know that most of the area lay devastated at the end of World War II. The Altstadt (old town) contains many of the city's most historic buildings, including the 9th century Hammaburg, and Hamburg's major churches: St. Michaelis, St. Katharinen, St. Jacobi, St. Petri Kirche and the ruins of Nikolaikirche. Hamburg Airpott is located 5 miles northwest of the city centre.
