Top 10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Hamburg-Altstadt, Germany
Second only to Berlin in size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the biggest harbors in Europe. A stroll along its many waterways and canals illustrates why it has been called the "Venice of the North." Don't miss a trip to the local fish market (Fischmarkt), the Merchants District (marked by its imposing red-brick architecture), a fine dining experience along the river or a night out in the university quarter. And did we mention the Reeperbahn (red light district)? It's quite famous for its… red lights.

We stayed for 3 hours and thoroughly enjoyed our stay, there's lots of little details to see in the scenes and the airport with planes taking off and landing is impressive. The venue gets quieter later, it was a bit too full when we arrived at 2:30pm, and there are reduced price tickets near closing time. There's a cloakroom (50 cents) before the entrance, or lockers with returnable 1€ in the café. They ask you not to take rucksacks into the exhibition.

Small but perfect, this tucked away street is a little slice of architectural history. Restaurants and cafes are the main businesses now so worth a lunch stop. Also spot the plaques to the Jewish fallen, they are all over the city and I found two here.

Close to Christmas it is one of the nicest streets in Europe to walk and to go for shopping. Everything is decorated according to the Christmas atmosphere and all the streets around have Christmas markets with everything you desire! Do not forget to eat “ wurst” and “schmalzkuchen” from the small Christmas houses in the market
