The port of Hamburg is the central hub for trade with Eastern and Northern Europe. As a container port, Hamburg takes third place in Europe and seventh place in the world. It is 120 km from the sea, but can nevertheless take the largest container ships in the world.

Hamburg has more bridges than Venice and Amsterdam combined. With many consulates, Hamburg is second only to New York City in the world. As a trade centre, Hamburg has always been outward-looking, and this has shaped the mentality of the inhabitants of Hamburg.
