Hamburg is referred to as Germany's Gateway to the World. It is the country's biggest port and the second-busiest in Europe, despite being located astride the River Elbe, some
100 kilometres from the North Sea. It is also Germany's second city with a population of over 1.8 million, and the Greater Hamburg Metropolitan Region has a population of over
four million. Hamburg is proud of its status as a "Free and Hanseatic City" and is an independent state, one of the Germany's 16 federal states or Bundesländer.
