Nowhere else will you get this close to Hamburg’s “Gateway to the World”, unless you’re wearing a captain’s hat. Here you can feel the harbor up close: cruise ships and cargo giants, sailing ropes and the sound of the Elbe with the Elbphilharmonie in view. The port is a place of many voices, sometimes it whispers in Mandarin, rattles in Spanish, or roars with the storm tide. It’s a rough rhythm that’s been playing for 840 years. Once there was more red light, today there’s more hydrogen.
