Ports

Travemunde

An attractive beach resort set against a backdrop of dense pine forests, the German cruise port Travemunde is also your gateway to one of the country’s most fascinating cities, Hamburg.

On the banks of the Elbe River, the once-Hanseatic League Hamburg is intriguing because of the contrast between its legendary louche nightlife centred around the notorious Reeperbahn and its more sober side reflected in the impressive array of historical buildings and cultural centres.

The 19th century neo-Renaissance-style Rathaus (town hall) with its tall clock tower, the Bismarck monument, 12th century St Petri Church and 17th century Lutheran St Michaelis are among many sights worth seeking out while a suitably ultra-modern building houses the contemporary art wing of one of the world’s finest art museums, the Kunsthalle. Some of the best bars and restaurants are around the port area.
