Water plays an important role in Hamburg. Since medieval times, sea trade has brought the Hanseatic city prosperity, and the river Elbe and Alster lake define the everyday lives of the city’s inhabitants. Despite the fact that its harbour lies 100 kilometres inland, Hamburg is one of the world’s biggest seaports. It also boasts more bridges than Venice and has its own national park in the middle of the North Sea.
