Enjoy Arts and Festivals in Hamburg
As Germany's second biggest city, career opportunities are wide and varied in Hamburg. Major industries include media, transport, electronics, machine building, and tourism. Hamburg is also one of the most important banking cities in the country, and so financial services are particularly significant, as is business connected to the local port, the largest and busiest port in all of Germany. The arts have a strong foothold in Hamburg, with popular musicals regularly staged by Stage Entertainment and classical concerts played at the prestigious Hamburg State Opera by the renowned orchestra, Philharmoniker Hamburg. English speaking expats can enjoy plays by the English Theater of Hamburg, which features a cast made up exclusively of native English speakers. Throughout the year, you'll see various festivals, such as the Hamburger DOM, Germany's biggest funfair, and the Hafengeburtstag, the anniversary of Hamburg's port with celebrations including a ship parade. Sports fans are not forgotten, with regular cycling, marathon, tennis, and equestrian events and much more to enjoy.
51ԹϺis the largest global network for expatriates, with communities in 420 cities around the world.
