Hamburg – Gateway to Scandinavia

Northern Germany and Scandinavia have in common that you can relax not only in nature, but also in the city: during a visit you can combine sightseeing very well with quiet coffee breaks and culinary highlights. Deceleration and enjoying the landscape are high on the agenda.

Hamburg offers the perfect starting point for a trip to Scandinavia. In just a few hours you can reach the Danish capital Copenhagen directly on the Baltic Sea. After a short drive over the Oresund Bridge, you already reach Sweden.
