HAMBURG, GERMANY This vibrant port town sure knows how to party, as visitors during May’s Hafengeburtstag, the city’s annual birthday celebrations, or July’s Schlagermove Parade will discover. Late September’s Reeperbahn music festival caps a
packed summer music festival program that spans June’s Elbjazz Festival through the likes of Stadtpark Open Air, SPEKTRUM and MS Dockville, held in August. Visitors looking to glimpse at Hamburg’s more
exclusive side should base themselves in HafenCity. The district encompasses the stunning Elbphilharmonie concert hall and Elbtower, an upscale development featuring the Nobu Hotel.
