#hotelstaycation Should you be someone who travels and love to cook or miss home cooked home when you are at Hamburg, then can consider booking a hotel at Aparthotel Adaigo Access Hamburg. It has good kitchen and cooking facilities as well as a well stocked board games areas. Worked well for me to keep kids entertained when it rained outside. Address Mühlendamm 62, 22087 Hamburg, Germany

1.) Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Picture 123 With centuries of history, Cologne is one of the best cities in Germany to explore. Located on the western edge of the country, this city blends everything together and is perfect for a weekend getaway. For me, the most impressive landmark must be Cologne Cathedral. Located on the banks of the Rhine River, it overlooks Cologne and is well worth a visit. Not only that, but there is also a lot of history within its walls. The Gothic architecture of the cathedral is the most ambitious building project since the Middle Ages. 2.) Rottenburg, Plot 456 One of the most vibrant and colorful places in Germany is Rothenburg. Well, at least in my opinion! Rothenburg is located on the edge of the state of Bavaria in northern Germany, and is one of the best tourist destinations in Germany. For many years, it has been included in the route of the Romantic Road. 3.) Burger Figure 7 One of the treasures of the Elbe River is the city of Hamburg. Trust me, Hamburg has too many epic sights! Although it may not have the "advantages" of Berlin, as one of the best destinations for city travel in Germany, it has a strong influence. 4.) Dresden Figure 8 Dresden is located in the Saxony region of Germany and is a city about the size of Edinburgh in the UK. This makes it big enough to be vibrant and full of things to do, but also small enough to explore over a long weekend. Dresden was once known as the "Jewel Box", housing several luxurious buildings and artworks. 5.) Munich Figure 9 Munich is known as the capital of Bavaria and is undoubtedly a very beautiful city, as well as one of the most worthwhile places to visit in Germany. Not only that, Munich can be the gateway to the wider Bavarian region, and can also easily become the starting or ending point of your travels.

One of the landmarks and best bird's-eye view points of Hamburg. Take the elevator up the tower, which is 105.8 meters high. From the top, you can overlook the entire city of Hamburg, and the scenery of the port city is particularly special.

Came to Hamburg on a clear day in January and I was truly amazed by the beauty of this city. Its modernity respects its history, which reflects how people here respect their heritage. Walking within the town center is manageable, and you'lll get some surprises along the way. There were some stores on wheels, selling hot sandwiches and sausages, plus in my last picture was a fruit stand that sold produce that's much cheaper than supermarkets. But there's so much attractions that a day isn't enough to visit the attractions in the town center. Getting There - metro trains from the airport run until late in the evening, and cost around EUR 1.90. If you arrive late, give yourself at least a 30 min buffer time to pick up your luggage and then swoosh towards the metro line (which takes you around 30 min to downtown) Attractions - the Hamburg Rathaus (Town Hall) is definitely a must. For kids, bring them to Miniatur Wunderland. Hotels - I booked a solo room at a&o Hostel Hamburg Hauptbanhog downtown that's 10 min by walk from the train/bus station. It's a nice and cheap place to stay in. Food & Restaurants - check around the streets to see the mobile food carts! #2023TravelWish #hamburg #germany #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #wintergetaway

Hamburg is the first choice for many people to visit Germany. It can be reached in about five hours by train from Copenhagen. Hamburg Station is busy with travelers, and it feels like life is fast, but when you walk to the water, it's a different scenery. When traveling in Hamburg, it is recommended to buy a Hamburg Card. It has convenient transportation and small discounts on attractions! #parent-childgoodplace

“Hamburg has over 2,500 bridges, the most of any city in the world. That's more than Amsterdam, Venice, and London combined. Hamburg's red light district is the biggest in Europe!” With sunny day, definitely you can spend enjoyable memory and time here! #hamburg #germany #trip #bridges

A #seafood restaurant you can't miss when you come to Hamburg, it's really cheap and delicious😍. This restaurant is located in Hamburg, Germany, about a three-minute walk from the MRT station exit. The restaurant is divided into an outdoor area and an indoor dining area. It is recommended to sit outdoors and enjoy the food. It will really make you feel good 🙂😊 The portion is really big, you won't feel full at all, and the fried salmon is also delicious😍 #foodie #germany #familytravel #hamburg Restaurant name: Karo fisch Address: Feldstraße 32, 20357 Hamburg, Germany Average cost per person: 18-20 Euros Recommendation: The braised potatoes here are very delicious, paired with the rich fried seafood, it's really great 💯💯💯😋 🐟Every set meal you order comes with salad and bread, isn’t it a good deal? 😆 #SeafoodRestaurantRecommendations #FoodTravel #FoodGuide #EuropeTravel #Europe #Writer-in-Residence

📍Hamburg City Hall Rathausmarkt 1, 20095 Hamburg, Germany The building is really pretty for a city hall✨ The historically old-fashioned building was surrounded by trees, Christmas sculptures, and various decorations, creating a Christmas atmosphere that you can only feel in Europe🥰 Especially, the reflection of the city hall on the water is really great for taking pictures! The giant tree I saw in 2018 was surprisingly not made of wood, but had a modern feel. On the way to the city hall, there was a shopping mall called Europa Passage, and I remember that it also had beautiful Christmas decorations. #PleaseWinter #ChristmasAtmosphere #Christmas #ChristmasTree #YearEndTravel #NextTimeHere #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotPlace #GermanTravel #Germany #Winter #2018Travel

Hamburg is a port city in Germany that has a nice industrial feel. The city center is especially iconic with a lot of brown brick buildings lining the surrounding canals. Many of these buildings are still warehouses, but there are other uses as well, ranging from museums to warehouses. I think it's worth spending a morning or afternoon strolling along these canals and finding your perfect Instagram shot with these rustic buildings serving as the background. Hamburg is also a very bike friendly city and you can bike along these canals as well as the city through the bike paths. I think Hamburg is worth a visit; its main attractions are really concentrated along the canals and rivers. They are a lovely place to stroll around and various restaurants and dining options line them.

Speaking of Germany, usually travel will go to the mainstream Munich or Berlin, few people will talk about Hamburg, but because of business more opportunities to go to Hamburg😎 Although Hamburg has no special attractions, I think this is a beautiful and chill place😌 Tried to go to Hamburg in different seasons, instead my favorite is probably April, because in this month locals It is said to be "the month of the year", that is, in this month Chances are it's hot today to wear a short-sleeved shirt, the next day it snows, then the sun shines, then the next day it rains heavily, I tried really like that, I don't know what to prepare for the next day🤷🏻‍ ♀️However, this month is the season of cherry blossoms, many places will see beautiful cherry blossoms🌸 #mbaparadise #melissabellaalyssaparadise #burger #hamburg #travel inspiration #travel abroad #coolest travel experience #attraction photography guide #travel recommendations #where to play in spring #cherry blossoms #cherry blossom viewing #three treasures #three treasures #3kids #3kidsmama #3girls # hkmama #kidsactivity #travel#germany #coolest new year trip #featured accommodation #outing flowers in time #travel inspiration #attraction photography guide #coolest travel experience #overseas travel #island holiday

#mynovgetaway Hamburg, a major port city in northern Germany, is connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It's crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland. Near its core, Inner Alster lake is dotted with boats and surrounded by cafes. The city's central Jungfernstieg boulevard connects the Neustadt (new town) with the Altstadt (old town), home to landmarks like 18th-century St. Michael’s Church. One of Germany's 16 federal states, it is surrounded by Schleswig-Holstein to the north and Lower Saxony to the south. The city's metropolitan region is home to more than five million people. Hamburg lies on the River Elbe and two of its tributaries, the River Alster and the River Bille. The official name reflects Hamburg's history as a member of the medieval Hanseatic League and a free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. Before the 1871 Unification of Germany, it was a fully sovereign city state, and before 1919 formed a civic republic headed constitutionally by a class of hereditary grand burghers or Hanseaten. Beset by disasters such as the Great Fire of Hamburg, North Sea flood of 1962 and military conflicts including World War II bombing raids, the city has managed to recover and emerge wealthier after each catastrophe. Hamburg is Europe's third-largest port. Major regional broadcaster NDR, the printing and publishing firm Gruner + Jahr and the newspapers Der Spiegel and Die Zeit are based in the city. Hamburg is the seat of Germany's oldest stock exchange and the world's oldest merchant bank, Berenberg Bank. Media, commercial, logistical, and industrial firms with significant locations in the city include multinationals Airbus, Blohm + Voss, Aurubis, Beiersdorf, and Unilever. Hamburg is also a major European science, research, and education hub, with several universities and institutions. The city enjoys a very high quality of living, being ranked 19th in the 2019 Mercer Quality of Living Survey.

The location are very good. It is very easily accessible via few minutes walk. I was impressed with Plaza view! I wish it was better weather outside. Anyway I have enjoyed the view. Worth seeing it at least from inside even without having tickets for a performance. Great view on the city from there. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

The city of Hamburg a bit looks like Amsterdam or Venice because of the many canals passing through the town. They are part of Elba river and they make the city looks pretty different than any other city in #germany #europe I will definitely go again there some day. #happynewyear

The philharmonie of Hamburg is very modern building and it is located on Elba river. It is one of the main attractions of this northern town. There are very big concert halls inside. The whole building is very big and spacious. It worth visiting... #hamburg #germany #happynewyear

The world's largest warehouse complex: Hamburg Warehouse City is the best in Hamburg, the most worthwhile place, located in the warehouse city on the canal.

Friends who want to visit the museum can not spend a day here. Walking in the warehouse city, you can often see the statues of these water-seekers. These statues are from the story of a water-seeker in Hamburg in the 19th century. They are also looking for these colorful diving statues on the streets. There is a lot of fun in the warehouse city.

What fun is there in the northern part of Germany where few people have traveled? There may not be as romantic as the Bavarian town, perhaps without the prosperity of Munich, perhaps without the industrial modernization of Cologne and the southwestern city of Frankfurt, but this place with a long history, for thousands of years, the mountains and the sea , has lived a simple life. If you like to explore new destinations, eager to learn about some non-popular attractions, or love nature and love human history, then choosing to come to North Germany is a vacation choice in your leisure time. Hamburg: Germany's second largest city, also the largest port city, has a long history and is estimated to be numerous.

Bremen: The birthplace of the Grimm Brothers fairy tale, street musicians are the symbol of this small town, suitable for a day-round exquisite German city. Harts Mountain: Walking through countless exquisite and well-preserved fairy-tale towns, the legend of the witches is constantly spreading in this mountain, the undeveloped virgin forest park, the old castle town, the big size The small mountain lake makes it the most famous minority resort in North Germany. Berlin: The capital of Germany, countless historical monuments are worth visiting. The museums on the island are worth a day or two to visit, and there is also the name of Bear City, which can be robbed. Search for the statues of the bears on the street.

Two euros let you experience the temptation of German uniforms. Well, this is actually a niche museum in the warehouse city of Hamburg: the Customs Museum. The small and exquisite museum, the prototype is mainly about the past and present of the Hamburg customs, but the introduction of the whole German is still difficult to understand, but the grandfather sent a thick English introduction book when entering the hall. The exhibits are very interesting, because it is not just a simple narrative, but also the layout of the customs office and the uniforms that are unique to the officials of each period. I cant help but recall the beautiful agents in the SHIELD agents. / Hh/opening time: 10am-5pm, closed on Monday ticket: 2
