Hamburg

Hamburg, the green city on waters is the second largest German city with a large lake in the center of the city. The cosmopolitan city also includes one of Europe’s largest ports and a drive around the Alster Lake in the city center will reveal the elegance of its finest parks and buildings. The city is known as Venice of the North because of innumerable canals passing through the city.

Hamburg Attractions

Hamburg itself has long had a reputation as being the principal nightlife city in Germany. As the major port on the Elbe and a part of the Hanseatic League of cities in Northern Europe, Hamburg gained a huge amount of influence from other countries, and this is reflected in the historic architecture that was built on the trade wealth that the city earned.

Hamburg’s nightlife reputation is primarily from the St Pauli District of the city and in particular the Reeper Bahn street, which is filled with beer halls and nightclubs. During the 1960s, the city came to prominence internationally following the rise of the Beatles who had spent significant amounts of time in Hamburg.

More recently, Hamburg has grown into a popular short break destination in Germany, and more than 10 million people each year fly through the airport. Those who come to the city for a city break will find plenty to see and do and there are numerous stunning buildings to see such as the famous Chilehaus, which was built in 1922 and has been designed to look like a giant cruise ship. The international maritime museum is fascinating, and the world’s longest miniature railway can be found in nearby Landungsbrücken at Minatur Wunderland.

By hiring a car in Hamburg from one of the companies such as Avis or Europcar who offer car hire at Hamburg Airport, you are able to get access to a much larger area of the country and see a lot more of what northern Germany has to offer than you would if you were to rely on organised tours or use public transport.

Within an hour of Hamburg, you can visit historic Lubeck, which is famous for its cathedral choir, and a popular day trip. You can also travel to Bremen, which is one of the best known industrial centres in northern Europe, and a great place for shopping. Slightly further away, but easily reachable within a couple of hours is Germany’s capital city Berlin, which offers plenty of museums and other attractions.
