    A visit to one of the world's largest harbours would definitely be incomplete without having taken one of the harbour or canal boat tours (Große Hafenrundfahrt or Fleetfahrt) which start from the Landungsbrücken.

    Renting a boat

    Posted by braaannigan 6 May 2006

    Go to one of the marinas around Downtown and rent a speed or sail boat that you can use to tour far out into the Georgia Sraight and get an amazing new perspective on the city and the bay.

    Boating on the Rhine

    Posted by JustineReilly 4 May 2006

    Catch a ferry up and down the Rhine. The trips vary in length, the longest going all the way to Dusseldorf. But even on the shortest voyage available, I found boating on such a mighty and iconic river well worth the few euros.

    Another good view of the river can be found by walking along the bank opposite the old town. There's a wide flood plain that offers the opportunity for a peaceful riverside hike that lasts for a good couple of miles.

    Catch ferries from the wharf near the Old Town.

    Instead of walking or driving around Sydney, to get the best vantage points around the harbour hire a 'Tinny', a small aluminium boat with an engine. You don't need a boat licence, and you can fit 7 or 8 people onboard. You can also organise a fishing licence to catch some fresh Sydney seafood.
