Known as Germany’s gateway city, Hamburg has the vibe of a global city with a historical past. With over 100sq kms of tidal harbor, Hamburg’s waterways shape the city’s layout and architecture. From the striking opera house to industrial warehouses, the city is a mix of old and new. This theme continues with the many companies and industries represented throughout the city, making Hamburg a popular choice for those wishing to work in the city after graduating. Hamburg is arguably the most cultural city in Germany, with an abundance of museums, galleries, theaters, and live music venues. In their free time, residents of Hamburg may spend it hiking, wakeboarding, in a beer hall, or clubbing – or possibly a bit of everything.
