Landungsbrücken ("The Jetties") (Hamburg)

Germany / Hamburg / Hamburg
 jetty, tourist attraction
The Landungsbrücken used to be the place where large passenger ships started their travels.

Since the decline of intercontinental passenger travel by sea these piers are mostly used by sightseeing boat tours through the harbour.
A terminal for cruise ships has been opened in 2004 a bit east from here in the new Hafencity district.

There a few museum ships here, too, as well as harbour ferry lines and a ferry to the island of Helgoland out in the North Sea.
