Bremen & Hamburg

Bremen

Lying on both sides of the River Weser is the Hanseatic City of Bremen. Due to its proximity to the North Sea, the cool, temperate climate and maritime influences extend throughout the city. Here tradition meets modernity, urban life meets northern German conviviality. The federal state with the highest number of exports also attracts people from all over the world with four universities and 50 research institutes. The local cultural landscape is marked by highlights such as festivals, exhibitions, concerts and theater performances that take place throughout the year.

Hamburg

Elbe, Elbphilharmonie, Reeperbahn – these are just a few of the identifying features of the Hanseatic city of Hamburg. Germany’s second largest city is also among the places with the best quality of life in the world. Between the typical clinker brick facades, conversations focus not only on HSV or FC St. Pauli or the latest musical, but also on the many parks, activities and sights. The port is one of the largest transshipment ports in existence and the Chamber of Commerce includes over 160,000 companies.
