The Eurowings expansion comes as Germany prepares to host the UEFA European Championships taking place this summer. More than 100,000 people are expected to fly from Manchester Airport during the tournament to the eight German cities it serves directly.
England’s subsequent knock-out games could take them to cities across Germany, including Stuttgart, Hamburg and Munich. These destinations all have direct flights from Manchester Airport.
Hamburg is a bustling and perfect destination for a city break. It is a major port city in northern Germany, connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland. TripAdvisor states Hamburg has been called the “Venice of the North” due to its many waterways and canals.
