Why Visit Hamburg, Germany

Magnificent Hamburg is definitely worth seeing not only because it is the second-largest city in Germany but also as it is one of the most populous towns in the European Union (among those that are not capitals). Did you know that two asteroids were named after Hamburg? Both this curious fact and the charming attractions of the town make Hamburg a cosmically astounding destination.

There are so many terrific spots on the Hamburg map that it's even hard to say which is the best one to start your Hamburg sightseeing from. We highly recommend visiting the Hamburg Museum, the most outstanding city sight where you can trace the breathtaking history of the town (throughout the time, it turned from a small fortress into a big port and became Germany's gateway to the world). By the way, the Hamburg port itself is a place of particular interest, serving as a large business hub with about 300 berths. Why not include it into your Hamburg tour and make your Germany tour even more exquisite?

To continue the cultural program on your Hamburg journey, consider visiting the Hamburger Kunsthalle, the most significant local art museum. It attracts attention thanks to its unique architecture: it seems like three buildings are closely interwoven, but in fact, all of them were built on different dates. The works of Renoir, Picasso, Warhol, and many other celebrated artists of various epochs and styles are found in the gallery.

Locals like to repeat that if you miss the famous Fish Market on your Hamburg itinerary, it means that your whole trip does not make sense at all. The location boasts a great variety of delicacies offered for sale as well as being a place to listen to live music and even watch a concert. Sounds great, right?

In general, to say that Hamburg is one of the loveliest European cities is not to say nothing. So are you ready to enjoy this beauty placed in the north of Germany? Open your German trip planner and fill it with the gems of Hamburg to make a trip of a dream come true!
