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.

Clean, efficient, stunningly beautiful and full of things to do for young and old.
There are excellent galleries, shops, parks and, of course, the beautiful harbour area.
A trip on the water taxi is a must, as is a visit to the underground Old Elbe tunnel which links both sides of the river. The tunnel is free for pedestrians and cyclists, and just 2 euros for cars.
I can't wait to return!

I was a bit disappointed in the appearance of streets and buildings. I was here in 2014 and noticed a big change. Before I thought it was charming. Now it is unkept, dirty with cigarette butts and trash. Bushes are way overgrown. Kuhmuehle path by Lerchenfeld looks like a jungle, so do public paths. Hard to find a spot to take a picture, graffity is everywhere.

Hamburg is a beautiful city of bridges and charming buildings. It is all about the Elbe River and there are many harbor cruises, ferries, and boat tours. The public transportation is clean and efficient.

I/we loved Hamburg.
I/we loved Hamburg. It was easy to get around with public transportation. People were friendly and the food was delicious.
How can you not enjoy being in Hamburg ?! Hamburg is a Great City !!! Hamburg has activities for everybody. We loved the Alster, the Port, Ferry Rides, great Restaurants, a trip to Alte Land to see the Cherry and Apple Blossoms, and delicious food at "The Kontor" in der Speicherstadt and Greek Restaurant, Lange Reihe. We enjoyed die "Strandperle" in Oevelgoenne which was relaxing and fun, sitting in the sun seeing the ships go by..... We will definitely be back.

We both loved the atmosphere of Hamburg.
We both loved the atmosphere of Hamburg. There's a lot of important maritime history; the old architecture is stunning. I find it extraordinary how the city has been rebuilt. GREATHamburg museum.. The area around the Rathaus platz is very dynamic and fun. public transportation can get you everywhere! We really enjoyed our stay there; so many people seem to pass it by, which is a real shame
“Great concept (everything was maritime themed). The room was spacious and clean, had all the things a modern hotel needs (Bluetooth speakers, free high-speed wi-fi, green tea). Location was great, in the harbor district. Do check out the hafensauna, great place to chill after a long day of exploring Hamburg.”
“It was directly in front of the train station. The room is very small, it is good enough for one person with one bag. The hotel is clean, the staff were friendly but after midnight there is no staff on the reception. It is a cheap hotel and very well located on the city centre.”
“Very friendly and welcoming hotel, superb staff. Comfortable, large, quiet and very clean room. Excellent location close to University premises and train station Dammtor. Stable and fast WiFi. Very good breakfast. We'll come back once we return to Hamburg!”
“If booking a hotel is always a compromise of price, location and luxury then this one wins on the first two. Perfect location in downtown Hamburg and a bargain price. Nothing luxurious, very basic but clean and comfortable.”
