Kontorhaus district is a must see for the architecture - This is an architectural gem in Hamburg which also has a wonderful World Heritage Centre in the iconic Chilehaus and pioneering early 20th century modern office block which still has lucky businesses in it. The World Heritage Centre web site has numerous offerings and is a good place to start if you are planning a visit to Hamburg or even during your stay.
