Where are the most bridges? The most incredible bridges in the world. What else to see

Many will decide that this is, of course, Venice and will be wrong. Someone will say that in Amsterdam - and again bypass. London? No! This city has more bridges than all of these cities listed combined. Two and a half thousand large and small bridges across two rivers, on the banks of which this city is located.

The city where The Beatles began their career, the city after which the most popular dish in the world is named. I think you already guessed that this is Hamburg - the second largest city in Germany.

CITY OF OTHER CITIES

Hamburg also has something of Venice...

And from London...

And from Peter. Although, most likely, St. Petersburg has something from Hamburg. By the way, this boat on the column at the Town Hall is often confused with the boat on the spire of the Admiralty. Why, Hamburg and St. Petersburg are generally sister cities.

Residential areas in the city center:

The Hamburg metro is distinguished by the fact that most of sections passes along the surface and on overpasses, covering mainly northern part cities.

The main square of the city, where the Town Hall is located

Hamburg is a city of symmetry and strict lines...

Homeless...

And water.

The port is a seaport, although it is located on the banks of the Elbe River, not far from where it flows into the North Sea.

The port of Hamburg is perhaps the most important attraction of the city, and you can devote a whole day to it. What kind of ships you won’t see here!

"Cap San Diego"- German cargo ship built in 1962. Currently the ship is a museum. The cargo ship was nicknamed the “white swan of the Atlantic.”
“San Diego” went to the same “distant shores” that are sung about in the song about Brazil.

The main attraction of the port of Hamburg is the museum sailboat "Rickmer Rickmers"(Rickmer Rickmers). He is one of the last large sailboats commercial shipping.

The sailboat was used to transport cargoes of rice and bamboo from Far East, with coal from Wales to Chile, and from Chile to Germany with saltpeter.
