Perspective 13: Hamburg Hamburg – a proud merchant city with history and vision Gateway to the world. The jewel of the north. The biggest sea port in Germany. It’s hard to describe Hamburg without using superlatives. Over the last 25 years, the city’s appeal has been boosted even further by impressive urban development.

An old town, or historic district, is a town, district, or neighborhood with many preserved buildings from a bygone era. They often have a nostalgic feel and are considered one of the best ways to get a feel for what life was like long ago.
The oldest towns have existed since before the beginning of the common era. Several old towns are recognized on the UNESCO World Heritage List. An old town is inhabited, in contrast to archaeological sites, ghost towns, and living history museums.
The old towns that exist today are not necessarily the first settlements built at the location. Many of them have been destroyed by fire, war or disasters, and rebuilt several times. Some old towns, such as Düsseldorf, have been restored to their former appearance in recent times.
There is no universal definition for how old an old town has to be. In many cases, it is implied that the settlement has been there at least since the mid-19th century before steam power brought railroads and large-scale urban planning.
This varies between parts of the world. For instance, a late 19th-century district might be seen as an old town in the New World, but not in Europe or Asia.
Get around on Altstadt Old towns usually have narrow streets and even narrower alleys, where pedestrians move more quickly than automobiles.
