Germany's harbor city of warehouses and rebellion
A wealthy port with more bridges than Venice, the warehouse district (UNESCO Speicherstadt), the Reeperbahn red-light district, and the Beatles' formative years.




U-Bahn + S-Bahn excellent; ferries on the Elbe.
Sunday Fish Market opens at 5am — go for breakfast and the live bands.
Very safe.
Reeperbahn is iconic; Schanzenviertel for indie.
