Which city has the most bridges? The most incredible bridges in the world

Many will think that this is, of course, Venice and will be wrong. Someone will say that in Amsterdam - and again by. London? No! There are more bridges in this city than in all these listed cities 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 have already guessed that this is Hamburg - the second largest city in Germany.

CITY OF OTHER CITIES

In Hamburg there is something from Venice ...

And from London...

And from Peter. Although, most likely, in St. Petersburg there is something from Hamburg. By the way, this boat on the column near the Town Hall is often confused with the boat on the Admiralty spire. Yes, what really - Hamburg and St. Petersburg are generally sister cities.

Residential areas in the city center:

The Hamburg subway is distinguished by the fact that most of the sections run on 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.

WE CAME TO THE PORT TODAY

Hamburg is a major transport hub (railways and highways), as well as a sea and river (Elbe River) port. Sea port is the largest port in Germany, being the second largest in Europe after Rotterdam.

The port of Hamburg occupies a tenth of the city's territory - 75 square kilometers. The total length of the quay wall is 46 kilometers - this is about 300 berths for sea and ocean vessels.

The port is a sea port, although it is located on the banks of the Elbe River, not far from its confluence with the North Sea.

The port of Hamburg is perhaps the most important sight of the city, which you can devote the whole day to. What kind of ships you will not see here!

Cap San Diego- German bulk carrier built in 1962. Currently a museum ship. The cargo ship was nicknamed "the white swan of the Atlantic".
"San Diego" went to those "distant shores" about which the song about Brazil is sung.

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

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

One could still tell about the origin of the expression "Hamburg cock", but it will already be a completely different story.
