Visit Hamburg

Hamburg felt like a capital city – vibrant, full of history and life. I loved the unique bunker with its greenery on top, such an inspiring reuse of history, and the market in Eppendorf with its fantastic atmosphere and beautiful villas nearby.

What's not to love about Hamburg when it offers a harbour, lakes, canals and many green parks, look carefully and you can find beaches and also a beach bar! Travel, Train's and bus are easy to hop on and off with cheap prices, especially compared to other city's like London! The day ticket for trains includes bus travel and is €7.80 for 1 person, a group ticket for 5 people is €15.60 and allows 5 people to travel as a group. Download the HHV app and book via that and the costs are even cheaper. The city is welcoming with a friendly vibe and an excellent nightlife. Great bars and restaurants that cover all price ranges. Whether your tastes are Opera, Theatre or Live music in big and small venues, architecture, history, churches and museums, Hamburg has it all offer. No visit is complete unless you take in the miniatur wunderland! "Hamburg, meine Perle"

There's a lot to be discovered there! I walked most of the city on my way to the cruise terminal. However, the last part was too complicated and I gave up and took a taxi. On my return trip, the bus system was unusable for me as I had no way to pay for it on the spot...at least according to the other people from the city. There needs to be a way for a nonresident to easily pay without having to use apps and the internet. I had no internet so I was forced to use cabs on my two journeys.

I selected my hotel right across from the train station for convenience. So therefore, it was busy out front and also rather noisy at night. The hotel and my room were spotlessly clean. And the hotel is close to other amenities.

I know Hamburg very well. However, there are always new things to discover, and travelling by public transport is super easy. You can buy day tickets for the whole HVV network - excellent value especially for families and groups of 5. A must for everyone new to he city is a visit to the harbour - Maybe do a boat tour around the harbour & visit the new landmark, the 'Elbphilharmonie' (Elfi). I did the plaza tour which was very interesting. Amongst the old warehouses (UNESCO heritage) you also find 'Miniature Wunderland' - the biggest model railway exhibition in the world. It is well worth a visit, even for non-railway enthusiasts, but plan in enough time and book ahead if you can. Take a ferry from Landungsbruecken down the river Elbe to the museum's harbour in Oevelgoenne and go for a walk along the beach. Visit the Alster near the town hall and enjoy a drink and a meal at the Alsterpavillion whilst watching the boats on the water. This is also a good area for shopping. You can also plan visits to the fish market (if you are an early riser), the Reeperbahn (famous red light district), the zoo, the botanical gardens with tv tower (Planten und Blomen), central park with the observatory. These are just some of my favourite places. Enjoy!

Hamburg is full of beautiful architecture, and the city did a very good job of integrating the new into the old. The city is easy to navigate, and everywhere is well-connected by public transportation.
