The 1880 edition of the Baedeker travel guide on Hamburg's attractions:
"The visitor should not expect spectacular sights. What is unique, however, is the town's hustle and bustle, especially anywhere near the harbor. Visitors feel that Hamburg is a cosmopolitan city, that the open ocean is near and that it is a place where trade with the whole world is happening."
