Germany s second-largest city has been a hub for music and trade since the 17th century, and today new sits beside old as the city continues to reimagine itself.
A thriving port city, Hamburg has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and London combined.

At that time, some Londoners described the emptiness of the city as feeling “like the apocalypse or a scene from 28 Days Later”. The comparison of life to art, it seemed, was obvious, exerting an eerie, uncanny effect.
Dead cities are enduring images in post-apocalyptic literature and cinema. They are rooted in the straightforward power of contrast – between the normally bustling city and its empty double – a city which is only buildings, both strangely familiar and also alien.
