A weekend in Hamburg

Hi, Growing up in the North of Germany, near the beautiful city of Lübeck, I have always been interested in the neighbouring metropolis of Hamburg. It promised the big city lights, shopping opportunities and the entertainment options that Lübeck simply was missing. As the two cities are only a 45-minute-long train ride away from each other, I spent my childhood and teenage years exploring Hamburg, while more and more of my friends moved to the Hanseatic city, most prominently known for its red light district (see page 30), charming harbour area (see page 36) and diverse entertainment options.

Behind the corners of the charming, cobbled alleys and the impressive Hanseatic buildings awaits an interesting, multifaceted city that is a bit rough around the edges which gives Hamburg its special northern charm. It is a city of contradictions, of unconventional beauty and multicultural unity.

The e-book A weekend in Hamburg first rushes you past the obvious hotspots, before helping you to escape the herd of photo-craving tourists. In a little over 50 pages, I share with you my top finds that bring you eye to eye with the locals. Ready to discover the real Hamburg?

Enjoy & viel Spaß!

A weekend in Hamburg

BEFORE YOU GO … allow us to point out some easy ways to get more out of your city trip to Hamburg. As so often in life, the secret lies in the preparation. So, let’s find out when best to go, how to get there and where to stay. After all, as there is so much to see in Hamburg, we don’t want you to waste your valuable time on figuring it all out on the spot.

When to go?

One thing needs to be clear from the start: Hamburg isn’t an exotic, sunny place… at all. It rains a lot here – so much that residents have a great way of dealing with the ‘Schietwetter’ (which means bad weather in the Hamburg dialect). Determined not to let the weather rain on their parade, Northern Germans love to say: “There is no bad weather, there is only bad clothing”. So whether you’re planning on visiting the city in the winter or summer, one thing we suggest is to pack the right clothing that prepares you for almost all scenarios. To increase your odds of having a sunny stay, late spring or summer

are the times to go. From April on, the temperatures become milder and in summer, the temperatures can even climb up to 25 degrees or more. Even though wind and rain can be expected throughout the year, you should think about snow too as winters in Hamburg can indeed be quite white. But if you behave like a true North German and are prepared for all weather situations, your trip to Hamburg shouldn't be a washout.

What to pack?

Besides different clothing for different weather conditions, be sure to pack some cash. While most restaurants

and shops do indeed accept credit and debit cards, there are a few smaller places and thrift shops that still prefer cash. Of course, the city counts ATMs aplenty though, so you can withdraw money anywhere you want.

What to book?

Hamburg can get quite busy – especially during the weekends and throughout popular holiday times. That’s why reserving a spot in restaurants and pre-booking tickets for museums and theatre shows is a must. Bars usually don’t need to be booked even though they can fill up quickly. Just try your luck and if the chosen bar is full, don’t

worry as there tend to be plenty more in walking distance. German restaurants usually fill up around 7pm, so by that time it can be hard to find a vacant table anywhere without a booking.

How to get there?

Hamburg is easy to reach by many transport options. Not only does its main train station have express trains to Copenhagen, Amsterdam and Munich on offer, the city is also easy to reach by plane, as most British and European international airports have at least one daily connection with Hamburg airport. Luckily, there are also some low-cost airlines flying to

Hamburg, making it an easy option for stag dos.

Where to stay?

Hamburg is a multifaceted centre of partying, of culture, of business and of food. That’s why the city has a wide range of affordable business hotels on offer and also caters for students and travellers with hostel-type accommodation, well-hidden boutique hotels and charming bed and breakfast options. If you crave a bit more luxury, lush places like the Hotel Atlantic (from €170) – famous for being a favourite with the stars – or the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten (from €190) are great options.

HAMBURG FOR BEGINNERS As a tourist visiting Hamburg, you share the city with its locals for a weekend. Therefore, it is only right to try to blend in, get acquainted with the local customs and habits, and understand the peculiarities that give the metropolis its unique vibe.

Forget ‘Guten Tag’

German for beginners

If you learned German, forget all about the greetings ‘Guten Tag’, ‘Guten Morgen’ or ‘Guten Abend’. In Hamburg, only one short little word is needed – ‘Moin’. No matter what time of day, this greeting fits in every situation.

Moin / Hallo Hello Tschüss Goodbye Guten Morgen Good morning Guten Abend Good evening Wie geht es dir? How are you?

Bitte Please Danke Thank you

Tipping?

Ich spreche kein Deutsch. Sprichst du Englisch? I don’t speak

Please do. Even though there is no rule about the acceptable amount to tip, most people tip in restaurants and bars. Many simply round off the bill to the next euro – or add a couple more if you’re especially happy with the service.

German. Do you speak English?

Kannst du mir helfen? Can you help me?

Wo ist der/die/das...? Where can I find the...?

Straße Street Ich liebe Hamburg I love Hamburg Was würdest du empfehlen? What would you recommend?

Ein Bier A beer

SOS Germany

Ein Kaffee A coffee

Of course, we hope that you won’t need this paragraph but if you do need emergency help on your Hamburg trip, dial 112. As with many European countries, the 112 will get you through to the fire brigade and ambulance services. If you need to call the police, dial 110 instead.

Die Rechnung, bitte The bill, please Die Bank The bank Der Bahnhof The railway station Das Krankenhaus The hospital Der Flughafen The airport

If your passport gets stolen or if you need to reach your country’s authorities for any other reason, you can head to your country’s consulate. The British one, for example, can be found on Alsterufer 36, while the American one sits not far away, at Alsterufer 27/28.

A weekend in Hamburg

WELCOME TO HAMBURG Land in sight! Hungry for a fish sandwich yet? Or do you already feel the need for a cold one? Well, that will have to wait a little longer, I’m afraid, because you are not in the city centre just yet. While you most likely land at the international Hamburg Airport (HAM) which can be found in the Fuhlsbüttel quarter, you will have to travel a bit. Luckily, the public transport is quite well-arranged – all you have to do is to choose between the different transport options.

By train

By bus

The easiest connection to the city is by train. There is a station right underneath the terminals with connections to the city centre every ten minutes. The S1 S-Bahn connects the airport with the city centre. From here, you can head to the main railway station, Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, in 24 minutes or get to the popular Jungfernstieg station in 27 minutes. Tickets can be bought at the ticket machines or online using the HVV app. An adult ticket costs 3.20€, children from 6 up to 14 years need to pay 1.20€ and children under the age of 6 can use the HVV services free of charge. A one-day-ticket for adults costs 6.20€ and 2.30€ for children.

Right in front of the airport you can find public bus transportation that operates two day and two night lines. Choose between Line 392, Line 28, Line 292 and the night line 606. Tickets can be bought directly from the bus driver or with the HVV app.

By taxi In front of the airport, you can also choose to grab a taxi. Hamburg Airport has 10 licensed taxi companies that sit outside waiting for customers at the terminals. Even though taxi meters are used, an average fare to the city centre will cost you around 25€ and will take approximately 25 minutes.

Signs at the airport show you where the taxi stand, the train, as well as the bus station are. If you need further help, there are plenty of help stands too.

A weekend in Hamburg

A FIRST ENCOUNTER Arriving in Hamburg can be a bit overwhelming as there is so much to see and explore in the port city. As Germany’s second largest city (after Berlin), Hamburg has a population of around 1.85 million and thus, also a lot on offer.

From many bars and restaurants to a vivid nightlife and a cultural offering that goes beyond an interesting history, when first arriving in the city, finding the right things to do and see can be a bit overwhelming. Luckily, there are a few spots in Hamburg that act as commencing points to give you a warm welcome to the city. This way, you can take the edge off your city-tripping appetite as soon as you have dropped your bags at your hotel.

BOROUGHS TO EXPLORE

14 | Freitag/Friday

Hamburg is made up of many different quarters that are very different in character. In total, visitors could explore 104 districts so that Hamburg really has a neighbourhood for every cultural preference.

If you like history and old architecture, head to the old town by the Alster Lakes. It’s the best start to exploring the city for many reasons. After that, why not explore the warehouse district? As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hamburg’s warehouse district hosts gorgeous red-brick warehouses that are perfect for plenty of photo opportunities. At night, head to St. Pauli to visit the raunchy Reeperbahn and grab a drink in the many fun bars. Alternatively, head to the Schanzenviertel – a less touristy quarter that is known for its alternative bars and fun crowds.

SHOPPING IN AND AROUND THE CITY If it’s shopping that you’re after, you’ve got plenty of options in Hamburg.

In the old town in Hamburg’s centre, you can visit many well-known high street and luxury brands off Mönckebergstraße and Spitalerstraße. Or if you’re looking for a more upmarket shopping experience, head to the area around Jungfernstieg, Neuer Wall and Große Bleichen.

Big malls like the Europa Passage Shopping Centre or the Hamburger Hof Passage are all close to the Jungfernstieg and Mönckebergstraße, making it the perfect shopping experience. The closest underground stations are Mönckebergstraße, Jungfernstieg or Gänsemarkt. Jungfernstieg also has a S-Bahn station. Shops are usually open from 10am to 7 or 8pm.

CULINARY HAMBURG What many don’t know – Hamburg is also a great culinary destination. From traditional fish dishes to tasty baked goods, Hamburg combines northern cuisine with German influences. While travelling, there’s probably no better souvenir to take home than trying local dishes and taking home a few extra kilogrammes. So, don’t leave any dish unsampled this weekend and dig in.

FISCHBRÖTCHEN Probably the most famous dish straight out of Hamburg and the northern part of Germany is the humble fish roll. The sandwich can be served with many types of fish – whether you like it fried, prefer shrimps or prefer crab meat. However, we suggest trying the one with pickled herring (Bismarckhering) or the soused herring (Matjes). It comes with some onion, pickles and a nice sauce. And don’t forget: It tastes best while enjoying views of the River Elbe at the same time.

FINKENWERDER SCHOLLE

18 | Freitag/Friday

And here’s, of course, another fish dish. This traditional dish is named after one of Hamburg’s districts and consists of baked or pan-fried plaice filets, bacon, onions and North Sea shrimps. For the ultimate ‘Finkenwerder Scholle’ experience, head to the Finkenwerder district, where many restaurants still serve this superb meal.

L ABSKAUS This one might not look fantastic, but its taste makes more than up for it. Traditionally a meal for sailors and seamen, ‘Labskaus’ is made from corned beef, mashed potatoes and onions and is served alongside pickled beetroot, pickled gherkin, herring and fried egg. Interestingly, a variation of this meal also is eaten in Liverpool, UK where it is better known as ‘scouse’.

GRÜNKOHL ‘Grünkohl’ simply translates to kale but in Germany it is far more than the healthy kale fad we’ve come across in recent years. The traditional kale meal is stewed for several hours in North Germany, before being served alongside smoked pork, several types of sausage and boiled or fried potatoes. It is a hearty meal that is perfect for colder days. Even today, people are still celebrating this dish with a ‘Kohlfart’ – a cabbage tour. For this, a group of friends or colleagues go on long walks, while playing drinking games, before heading to a restaurant where a lot of ‘Grünkohl’ is eaten.

ROTE GRÜ TZE Now for something sweeter – the ‘Rote Grütze’ is a popular summer dessert that is made from cooked red summer berries. While it originally comes from the Danes, it has become a staple of the North German cuisine and is best served with milk, vanilla sauce or some ice cream.

FR ANZBRÖTCHEN Representing the baked goods section is the ‘Franzbrötchen’ which translates to French roll in German.

These sweet pastries can’t be found anywhere else than North Germany so this is a truly authentic treat.

Made with plenty of butter, sugar and cinnamon, you might also find some slighty different types with chocolate or marzipan.

F R E S H LY R O A S T E D C O F F E E Coffee? In Hamburg? It might not be the obvious choice, but Hamburg is known for its freshly roasted coffee with a relationship between the two going back centuries. As a port city, Hamburg became the world’s largest coffee market at the end of the 19th century. Even today, the ‘Speicherstadt’ district is actually one of the biggest trading places for coffee worldwide.

THE ENCHANTING OLD TOWN & NEW TOWN Like in most European cities, most of Hamburg’s sights and hidden attractions can be found inside its historic centre which is located in the Old Town (Altstadt) as well as the New Town (Neustadt). Often referred to as the heart of Hamburg, visitors can explore everything on foot here which makes for a perfect Saturday stroll. So put away your metro ticket and stroll from one incredible spot to the next to really take in the incomparable Hanseatic charm.

24 | Samstag/Saturday

A weekend in Hamburg

THE MAIN SQUARE In the heart of Hamburg, visitors find the Rathausmarkt, the central square in the Altstadt quarter. It is lined by gorgeous trees and is the spot for many big events and markets. After a huge fire in 1842, the RATHAUSMARKT market place was re-designed and Venice’s famous St. Mark’s Square was the design model as it also borders the water on one side.

In summer, the Rathausmarkt is a popular hangout space in the middle of the city that is the perfect starting point to explore more of Hamburg.

The king of the square is the Hamburg Rathaus, the City Hall where Hamburg’s parliament, senate and mayor all have their seats. On every tourist’s todo list, you can usually find the city hall as its impressive façade CITY HALL is quite a sight. However, before it became the icon it is today, it took quite a lot of effort to build it. After construction started in 1886, 4,000 wooden poles had to be inserted into the Alster Lake’s muddy shores to support the building’s weight which would later measure 133 metres wide, 70 metres deep and 112 metres tall.

Strolling through the historic centre Start your stroll at the Rathausmarkt, gazing at the city hall and the Alster Lakes. Head eastwards towards the Alsterarkaden, keeping straight until you reach the Gänsemarkt for some great shops and boutiques. Now you can either turn right and walk towards the Alster Lakes and the Jungfernstieg for more shopping and lake views or turn left to walk towards St. Pauli or the Hafencity.

12pm: Lunchtime The Alsterarkaden are the perfect spot for a relaxed coffee or lunch break as there are plenty of lovely restaurants and cafes on offer.

Alsterarkaden.

Facing East from the city hall, visitors can see the beautiful white Alsterarkaden which adorn the waterfront at the Jungfernstieg promenade with a somewhat Mediterranean charm. Designed by Alexis ALSTERARKADEN de Chateauneuf who was inspired by his travels to Italy, the Venetian touch becomes visible immediately. It is the perfect place for an afternoon stroll, luxury shopping opportunities and an elegant cup of coffee. Take a closer look and you might see the Mellin Passage – Hamburg’s oldest shopping arcade. If you love rare literature, antiques and art, this one’s for you. A beautiful surprise is hidden inside the arcade too: colourful Art Nouveau frescoes and stained-glass that likely comes from the 19th century.

ART LOVERS UNITE Of course, Hamburg has a lot on offer for culture fans too. One example can be found close to the City Hall: The Bucerius Kunst Forum. The private art museum hosts around 4 alternating tempoBUCERIUS KUNST FORUM rary exhibitions each year, often showcasing some of the world’s finest art. Visitors can look forward to 4 exhibition floors with around 100 different art works. The small overall space makes it also an ideal place for a family outing. And even better: it doesn’t matter whether you’re an art connoisseur or a newcomer, the forum manages to prepare an exciting entry to its exhibition for all visitors.

CHURCHES Last but not least, what would be a city trip without at least passing a church or cathedral? Luckily, there are quite a few around that all have their very own, distinctive story. Let’s take the St. Nikolai Memorial, ST. NIKOLAI MEMORIAL for example. The ruins of this church that was bombed by Allied forces in 1943, now house a WWII memorial and museum.

Through interactive image, video and audio displays, visitors can learn more about the impacts of wars and the historical context of the church. And if you’re not afraid of heights, a glass elevator can take you up the church’s spire (the world’s fifth highest church steeple, may we add) where you can enjoy amazing views over the port, the Alster Lakes and the city centre.

Willy-Brandt-Straße 60. Adult: 5€, teens (15-17) and children (3-14): 3€.

The St. Michael’s Church which is lovingly called the ‘Michel’ by locals, is probably the most famous of Hamburg’s churches. It is a landmark of the city and is considered one of the finest Hanseatic Protestant baroque churches in the world.

ST. MICHAEL’S CHURCH

Savings, savings, savings To travel conveniently and save some money, the Hamburg City Pass might be a good option for you. It offers free entry or reduced ticket prices to attractions, museums and tours, free bus and boat tours, preferred entry to the Hamburg Dungeon and Panoptikum and free travel on selected public transport.

From 10.90€ for a day ticket.

REEPERBAHN: TO GO OR NOT TO GO? There are two sorts of tourists: those who make a stroll through the Reeperbahn’s red light district the highlight of their trip, and those who want to avoid the area at all cost. Which type are you? We list the pros and cons of Hamburg’s sinful district so that you can figure out whether to pass by or not.

What we like about the Reeperbahn First of all, let’s point out that the Reeperbahn, the ‘mile of sin’ in the St. Pauli district is fun. The famous red light district does host strip shows and has brothels scattered around, but it doesn’t ever feel really unsafe.

Furthermore, it is famous for its awesome live music venues, great restaurants, theatres, bars, pubs and night clubs that are open all night long. For an authentic Hamburg experience, you can’t really afford not to at least walk over the Reeperbahn during the day. And when the night starts, you can expect a varied clientele filling up the diverse bars and clubs to party all night long. The bottom line here is: We do think it’s a fun night out that is well worth your time.

What we dislike about the Reeperbahn The Reeperbahn can get very touristy – especially at the weekend. It is a hotspot for stag and hen dos and some

of the drink prices on the main Reeperbahn strip do reflect that. Furthermore, many bars fill up so quickly it gets hard to get a spot and the main strip can get rowdy later at night so that you should be aware of pick pockets. Luckily, there is a big police station right in the middle of the Reeperbahn if you do need help at some point in the night.

What to do instead?

We think the Reeperbahn is a good idea for a Saturday night. And if it’s a tad too busy for you, simply walk away from the main Reeperbahn into the neighbouring roads where smaller bars and cosier, less crowded venues attract plenty of locals wanting a beer and a great night out.

HAMBURG’S DRINKS FOR BEGINNERS Germany is a country renowned for its tasty and distinctive beers. Almost 5,000 brands of beer are produced within 1,300 breweries in Germany and the country’s beer export figures are constantly rising. However, on a night out in Hamburg, don’t only try the local beer – let’s show you which drinks simply have to be tried on your weekend in Hamburg.

ASTRA

HELBING

No trip to Hamburg is complete without at least one Astra beer (even though we imagine more will be drunk).

Even though it comes in several varieties, we urge you to try the Pilsener ‘Urtyp’ that impresses with a smooth bitterness and an alcohol level of 4.9%. This is the original from Hamburg.

For a true Hamburg original, try a Helbing shot. The kümmel liqueur has been around for 180 years and its recipe has been kept secret ever since.

MEXIKANER

If you want to know which shot to try, I’ve got a clear answer for you: Mexikaner. Its origins are said to be in Hamburg and most local teenagers would have grown up mixing this drink in plastic bottles. The popular party shot is made with vodka or korn (a cheap, clear German spirit), tomato juice, Sangrita, Tabasco sauce and salt and pepper. In short – spicy and tasty.

3

ROTBIER What many don’t know is that Hamburg is Germany’s unofficial brewery city. Many breweries are located here, brewing their own tasty creations. One craft beer to try is the Rotbier from the Ratsherrn Brauerei in the Schanzenhöfe (Lagerstraße 30a). This ruby red beer has a smooth finish and if it’s not sold at your chosen bar, head to the brewery and sit in their gorgeous outdoor bar.

5

FA KO

For a basic long drink that most teenagers in Hamburg probably have grown up on, try a Fako. It’s certainly not fancy, but a down-to-earth Hamburg 'speciality' made from Fanta and korn (a cheap, clear German spirit) – and much of it, may we add.

THE BEAUTIFUL PORT OF HAMBURG No visit to Hamburg would be complete without a big exploration around the beautiful port of Hamburg. Here, you can not only learn more about the daily workings of one of the world’s largest ports, but also discover the beautiful warehouse district, gaze at an architectural masterwork and much more.

A weekend in Hamburg

THE PORT Welcome to Germany’s biggest seaport. Here, around 8,000 ships call per year, over 1,300 freight trains stop by per week and 7,300 logistics companies call their home. In 2020, 126.3 million tons of cargo crossed the quay walls of Hamburg’s port which included approximately 8.5 million standard containers. No wonder that Hamburg is Europe’s third largest container port and the world’s 18th largest. Why not take a barge tour that starts from the famous St. Pauli Piers or ‘Landungsbrücken’ in German to smell the special air of freedom of the port? It offers a unique perspective of Hamburg and tells you more about the exciting port that is called the ‘gateway to the world’. Or visit one of the many museums found in the area – the International Maritime Museum, the ‘BallinStadt’ emigration museum or the harbour museum are our top picks.

THE HAFENCITY Not far from the port, visitors can find the busy HafenCity. Here, historic vessels are moored and stand in stark contrast with upscale residential buildings and hip cafes by the waterfront. It makes for the perfect waterside walk and has a lot to offer.

Need a break?

Head to the beach! Yes, you heard right – Hamburg also has its very own city beach, called Övelgönne in the Othmarschen district.

For once, there is the legendary fish market. Since 1703, it has been selling just about anything, including fish at bargain prices. However, it is probably best known as a popular hangout in the early hours of the FISH MARKET morning when hundreds of party-goers end the night here with another beer and a fish bun to soak up the alcohol.

Elbphilharmonie.

On the opposite side of the HafenCity, visitors can find the striking Elbphilharmonie concert hall. With its landmark façade and cutting-edge acoustics, it is a sight not to be missed and makes for a great photo ELBPHILHARMONIE opportunity. If you’re lucky, grab a ticket to a worldclass music event and listen to the gorgeous acoustics. Or simply head to the viewing platform on the concert hall’s roof – it gives you one of the best views across Hamburg.

Within the HafenCity quarter, you can also find the Speicherstadt (the warehouse city) – another striking quarter that simply is a must-do on a Hamburg trip. The Speicherstadt is a UNESCO World SPEICHERSTADT Heritage Site and the largest warehouse district in the world that was built between 1883 and 1927. The red houses are divided by long canals which makes the area perfect for a small exploration tour by boat. The area spans a whopping 260,000 square metres and the historical buildings form a gorgeous contrast to the more modern main HafenCity stretch that is dominated by glass and steel constructions.

Last but not least, if you’re a musical fan, Hamburg is actually Germany’s musical capital. All big productions usually come here at some point in their stage life – so take a look at the GERMANY’S MUSICAL METROPOLIS programme, take your pick and experience the HafenCity in a somewhat different light.

38 | Sonntag/Sunday

Take a walk (1.5 hours) Luckily, Hamburg’s waterfront can be walked quite easily so that the contrast between historic and modern can be experienced on foot. Head to the Landungsbrücken station with the S- or U-Bahn and walk to the waterfront from there. Here, you can see the St. Pauli piers before heading east on the pedestrian area along the waterfront. Keep going east until you reach the Elbphilharmonie.

Cross the ‘Niederbaumbrücke’ bridge and follow the ‘Am Sandtorkai’ street. Soon, on your left, you will find the ‘Speicherstadt’ with the famous ‘Wasserschloss’ (water castle).

STILL SOME TIME LEFT? Not everyone explores a city at the same pace. While some race from one hotspot to the next, others take their time to stroll slowly through the streets and alleys.

If you are part of the former group, you might have some time left to kill before fastening your seatbelt for take-off, and it would be a shame to let it go to waste.

To help you out, we’ve listed some bonus sightseeing destinations for those who just can’t get enough of the stunning city that is Hamburg.

THE GREEN AND BLUE On a sunny day, what better way to soak up the rays and the local ambiance than a visit to a city’s green space? Head to the Planten un Blomen park which is just a PLANTEN UN BLOMEN short stroll from the city. Here, you can find a lake and gorgeous botanical gardens. Grab a drink at the Japanese teahouse and relax under Mediterranean fig trees.

October – March: 7:00 a.m. – 8:00 p.m. April: 7:00 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.

M I N I AT U R E T R A I N S Families will love the Miniatur Wunderland - the world's largest model railroad system that has recently been voted the most popular tourist attraction in Germany.

MINIATUR WUNDERLAND Here, you can admire different countries, an airport and a miniature Hamburg (that comprises no less than 200 square metres!).

V I N TA G E S H O P P I N G Fancy spending your last hours in Hamburg roaming vintage fashion stores? Head to the Karoviertel only a short walk away from the Schanzenviertel. Here, the in-crowd meets in KAROVIERTEL hip cafes in narrow streets before digging through quirky vintage shops to hunt for treasures.

St. Pauli, around Marktstrape. Getting there: U3 exit Feldstraße / U2 exit Messehallen.

G E T O N T H E WAT E R Did you know that you can kayak and canoe on the Alster Lakes?

Simply find one of the numerous boat rental places, grab a kayak, boat or canoe and head onto the water from which you can get unparalleled views of the pompous buildings along the banks that can’t be spotted from the street. You can even try stand-up-paddling here. But don’t forget to get a map of the lakes and canals so you don’t get lost before your flight back home.

Yet another quirky quarter that is definitely worth a visit when you’re in Hamburg. The Gängeviertel is Hamburg’s artistic heart and is found in the centre of the city. It impresses with GÄNGEVIERTEL narrow streets that are full of creativity. UNESCO has given the quarter the title of ‘site of cultural diversity’ and here visitors can revel in an exceptionally artistic and cultural ambiance.

Hamburg-Mitte. Head to Valentinskamp to explore the Gängeviertel.

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS A patchwork of cultures and peculiarities, Brussels hosts a wide array of events, from traditional cavalcades to world music festivals and celebrations of light and fireworks. If you are lucky enough to arrive in Hamburg when the city is preparing for one of these feasts, you are up for a treat. Take a close look at this overview of the most important events in the city to make sure you don’t miss out on anything.

MOVE THE NORTH

PORT ANNIVERSARY

A LT O N A L E

Throughout the year Fancy a cultural festival? This one is the one to watch out for! Move the North connects the three northern cities of Hamburg, Copenhagen and Malmö through a varied cultural programme that is held throughout the entire year in different venues across the city.

Mid-May One of the main events in Hamburg is certainly the port anniversary. The world’s largest harbour festival along the banks of the Elbe impresses with maritime parades, historic sailboats, music, food and fireworks.

Summer Head to the district of Altona for some theatre performances, arts, flea markets, cool parties and plenty of live music. This street festival is a favourite amongst locals.

HAMBURG DOM F U N FA I R Spring, summer and winter Fancy vintage carousels, roller coaster rides and some tasty German food? Head to the Hamburg DOM which is on for 30 days every summer, winter and spring.

CHERRY BLOSSOM F E S T I VA L May Annually held in May, the Cherry Blossom Festival celebrates Hamburg’s strong ties with Japan. Not only did Germany and Japan share a strong trade connection, but Osaka is also one of Hamburg’s sister cities. That’s why since 1968, the Cherry Blossom Festival sees over 5,000 cherry trees blooming.

all over the city. Drink some massive beers, eat some Weisswurst (Bavarian veal sausages) and snack on some pretzels. We suggest heading to the Wandsbeker Wiesn event or the Oktoberfest in the Fischauktionshalle. Alternatively, why not visit one of the Hofbräuhaus restaurants to experience some authentic Oktoberfest vibes?

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT Throughout December If you’re into authentic Christmas markets, Hamburg is the city for you. From a somewhat different fun fair in St. Pauli to a more traditional one on the main city square, look forward to plenty of mulled wine, tons of candied almonds and more.
