Speicherstadt & Hafencity
- by
- Boom
There are still a few buildings used as warehouses for carpets, coffee, tea and spices. However the warehouse district that was once built up as a customs free area called Speicherstadt, nowadays houses mainly museums, restaurants and offices. In the last few years many creative agencies have been attracted by the charm of its red brick buildings, and have moved to this historical harbour, built around a series of narrow canals. It sits right next to the gleaming glass and steel of the modern HafenCity, Europe's largest urban renewal development project.

Magellan-Terassen/Sadtorhafen
A little harbour with old ships surrounded by modern buildings. If the weather is good I come here to sit down on the stairs and eat lunch. There is a nice contrast between the Elphilharmonie and nice architecture surrounding the ships. A stroll around the harbour is highly recommended and the old cargo cranes make an interesting photo opportunity.
