Northern Germany

Overview

This is the coastal region with long beaches and a few islands, between the Baltic and the North Sea, home to former Hanseatic cities like Bremen and Lübeck, which still reflect past wealth. While Hamburg is one of Europe’s leading ports and Germany’s second-largest urban area, the region also offers countryside, heathlands, and forests perfect for walks and peaceful holidays.
