Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg is an international trade city and the commercial and cultural centre of Northern Germany. The city of Hamburg lies at the junction of the river Elbe with the rivers Alster and Bille and the city centre is beautifully set around two lakes, the Binnenalster ("Inner Alster") and the Aussenalster ("Outer Alster"). The earthTV camera shows the busy Alster area together with cruise ships and restaurants and also a broader view over the city.

Geographic Information

Germany stretches from the high mountains of the Alps in the south to the shores of the North and Baltic Seas in the north. In between are found the forested uplands of central Germany and the low-lying lands of northern Germany, traversed by some of Europe's major rivers such as the Rhine, Danube and Elbe. Germany is bordered by nine countries: Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium and the Netherlands.

Key aspects of tourism
Tourism in Germany is quite multifaceted: walking-tours in the mountains, beach holidays in the North and much more is possible.
