The Real Venice of the North
With more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined and over 2,300 bridges, Hamburg is an independent city-state with Europe’s second-busiest port and one of Germany's most popular soccer teams, Hamburg SV.
No trip to Hamburg is complete without a visit to the city’s old warehouse district, Speicherstadt, and the popular harbor promenade, the Landungsbrücken. The best and most popular way to explore the city is by boat or ferry so you can truly admire the stunning architecture and the city’s waterways.
The impressive City Hall and the popular St. Michaelis church will awe any visitor, and music fans should look for the Indra and the Star Club, where the Beatles played between 1960 and 1962. For a different look at Hamburg, moonlit strolls on the Reeperbahn will bring visitors through the largest red light district in Europe. Hamburg is famous for its local dishes, Birnen, Bohnen and Speck, Aalsuppe and open-faced sandwiches with cold-smoked or pickled fish. The laid-back cafés of Schanze neighborhood and barbecues on a beach along the Elbe River are great ways to relax after a day of sightseeing.
The city center is accessible from Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel Airport and Hamburg-Lübeck Airport using either train or bus services. Whether you’re looking for a luxury hotel, traditional apartment or youth hostel, Booking.com has everything you need for a vacation in Hamburg.

Enjoyed Hamburg very much - walkable almost everywhere worth seeing. Felt safe at all times.
Wish the city would do something about the bums that hang around outside one side of the Hauptbahnhof on Kirchenalle, St Georg and environs. Wouldn't stay in that area or recommend it to anyone. The Reeperbahn is less intimidating with fewer street people hanging around.
There are two walking tours in English each day but you need to ask at the tourist office. One at 11 am at the Rathaus; the other outside the Hard Rock Cafe at 2 - both worth it. Cost is donation.
Also, wish there was a better way for non-German speaking visitors to find out what's going on daily - it's just luck sometimes I found out about bands playing.
More sites need information on background or history or the whole story translated to languages other than German.
Hamburg tourism isn't forthcoming enough unless you ask about another language.

وقلبي لهامبورج غاوي
وأبات أفكر أزورها
وأصبح علي السفر ناوي
وأول مااوصل مطارها
ألاقي صوت قلبي داوي
وأملي عيني بنورها
واعد للجامعه الخطاوي
مااتذكره من قصيده كتبتها ١٩٨٥

Hamburg is a very interesting city, there are some lovely areas and some not so lovely areas. So make sure you do your research before choosing where to stay. The Rathaus was lovely, lots of wonderful architecture and the marina area was beautiful with some great fresh fish options.

I was so unlucky.
I was so unlucky. I only have one day in Hamburg just on the way going to Copenhagen. But it was raining n the hotel was awful. I tried to enter the Wunderland but they said I need to queue for 1,5 hours. So, I pass n decided just go to other city.
“Nothing, arrogant staff, worst location, prostitutes, druggies, inside and outside of hotel.
Don't go for it if you searched here for the cheapest hotel near Hamburg center Station.
I checked out after overnight stay and booked last minute deal at another hotel,for far cheaper rate than this hotel.
Receptionist was an Afghan arrogant guy, apology apart, he did not even bother to say a single word about the situation.
Wasted alot of money for nothing.”
“Excellent front desk, room was clean. Great location, right beside the Colonnade with good food choices. It's also a nice touch that the hotel provides a 3-day card for free public transport within Hamburg.”
“The loft room was one of the loveliest rooms I've ever stayed in, cozy and with so many amenities. Loved it! Staff were friendly and eager to help. Jane at front desk was stellar and went out of her way to make our stay and time in northern Germany extra special! Meals were delicious. Hotel location very good, close to U-bahn and harbor.”
