Swooping seagulls are a common sight in the bustling Baltic and North sea port towns that burst with seafaring charms and stunning architectural treasures. As Germany’s largest port and second-largest city, Hamburg surprises with its mix of rough-and-tumble Popeye districts, ultra-sophisticated shopping and dining scenes, and mega-Euro mansions. A duo of bite-sized port towns in close vicinity, Bremen and Lübeck allure with their quaint, red brick centers brimming with maritime and trade history. Hovering close to the coast, the stylish resort island of Sylt and a handful of family-friendlier beach towns attract in the summer months with their sandy, dune-fringed beaches, crustacean-filled mud flats, and fleets of rare birds.
