Find Hotels in Hamburg, Germany

This place is amazing. I suggest looking for it on YouTube to get more of an idea about it. It has a well-priced snack bar/restaurant, and I bought the cheapest t-shirt I found anywhere in Germany.

we were lucky staying by the Haptbahnhof station as their was a number of restaurants and bars close by. We had a free bus pass from our hotel which was great we travelled all over the city and it was a good saving for us. Everywhere was easy to get to. We found the local people very friendly and enjoyed our visit.

.. loved the alter lake /river, nice to relax where everythiong is accessble...transport,shopping. food...

Many attractions available.

Has a lot of interesting design furniture shops. Good live music scene all over the city

I just happened to see one of the carnivals at the harbor and it was fun although it was showering a little. I didn't get the chance to visit any museum but if I will go again, I will definitely spend some times there.

Must sees: Kunsthalle, Fischauktionshalle, Alsterpavilion, Monckebergstrasse, Alsterhaus department store. Brahms' museum was modest but very interesting. Harry's Hafenbasaar was a disappointment. Great selection of eating places near the Grossneumarkt, including a great Currywurst place.

Over the centuries, Hamburg has always been an international city. This is not only because of its position in international trade, but also in political dimensions. One of the most important harbours in Europe and the world, Hamburg takes great pride in its mercantile background, which built the city's wealth in the past centuries. From 1241 on, it was member of the Hanseatic League, a medieval trade monopoly across Northern Europe. In the 19th and beginning of the 20th century, millions left Europe on their way to the new world through the Hamburg harbour. Today, the harbour ranks second in Europe and eleventh world-wide. Consequently, one of Hamburg's tag lines is "The Gateway to the World" (derived from the city’s coat of arms, showing a white city wall with a gate and crowned by three towers on a red background). Hamburg is known to be one of the richest metropolitan area in the European Union, in the company of Brussels and London. The harbour is the heart of the city, however, Hamburg is also one of the most important media hubs in Germany. Half of the nation's newspapers and magazines have their roots in Hamburg. And, unknown even to some locals, is the fact that, with one of the Airbus aircraft assembly plants, Hamburg is a major location of the world's aerospace industry, right after Seattle (USA) and Toulouse (France). The mercantile background reflects in the city's architecture. The only palace in Hamburg is the town hall, which houses the citizen's parliament and the senate. Apart from that, the city still has large quarters with expensive houses and villas. These residences were home to merchants and captains, surrounded by lots of greenery. Large parts of the city were destroyed during the devastating air raids of World War II, particularly the port and some residential areas, killing tens of thousands and leaving more than a million homeless, yet much of historic value has been preserved. Hamburg still keeps its tradition of being an open, yet discreet city. Citizens of Hamburg, just like most Northern Germans, may appear to be quite reserved at first. Once they get to know with whom they are dealing, they'll be as warm and friendly as you'd wish. The people of Hamburg are known as "Hamburger" (pronounce the a like you're saying "ah", and it won't sound as silly). The beef patties on a bun were named after this city, where presumably they were invented. See also "frankfurter" (Frankfurt) and "wiener" (Wien, aka Vienna).

Good to spend time to visit.
