Hamburg Guide
Hamburg is Germany's largest port city, constantly fixated on trying to rebuild itself after the damage wrought by WWII. It is a city of artists and intellectuals, and is of special interest to travelers who enjoy the ocean and nautical sights. Hamburg hotels tend to be extremely reasonable, and are often located in lovely rebuilt pre-war buildings. Hotels in Hamburg are located in many different areas of the city, so be sure to find one that is near the sights you want to see.
This is a great place to take a break from the rush of many other cities in Europe. It has a wide selection of cafes, restaurants and bars in which to take in a traditional German meal of sausages, schnitzel, noodles and potatoes. Make sure to also try the fantastic malty German beer, usually drank with dinner. Hamburg also serves up an array of international food in its many Turkish and Asian restaurants.
The city hosts many museums, all of which are worth seeing. The most notable of these is the wonderful Hamburger Kunsthalle, which houses an impressive collection of art from the Middle Ages to the present. The Dichtorhallen Hamburg is where new artists can showcase their works, and provides visitors with a good introduction to Germany's contemporary art scene.
The city has some beautiful buildings, many of which had to be restored after the bombings of the Second World War, one of the most notable being the Rathaus, Hamburg's Town Hall.
Hamburg's St. Pauli Landungsbrucken Harbour is huge and full of ships from all over the world, which are lit up spectacularly at night. For a lazy day away from the buzz of the city, try heading to the Alster Lakes and Planten Un Blomen. This area is full of parks and flowerbeds, ideal for picnicking.
