What to do and see in St. Pauli, Germany: The Best Things to do
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.

This is a fantastic museum and provided us a very welcome and thorough introduction to Hamburg not long off the plane. I love museums that have life-size set ups of old pubs, shops, and other rooms to immerse you in the experience and this museum has so many. Well worth the entry fee and you could spend a good few hours here.

We had a wonderful walk in the botanical gardens on a trip out of busy Hamburg. The place is incredibly peaceful with a host of wonderfully arranged and carefully planned sections representing plants from around the world. We visited on a beautifully sunny day and enjoyed just sitting with a coffee and soaking up the atmosphere. We especially enjoyed seeing the beds full of poisonous and medicinal plants. The gardens are well worth a visit if you happen to be in Hamburg and are very easy to get to via public transport. This was one of the highlights of our holiday.

We had a great few hours in the evening here whilst visiting Hamburg. Plenty of fairground rides for all ages. There are German market stalls on the ground selling food, drink, souvenirs and gifts. Prices reasonable (free entry, pay per ride) Lots of fun and something a bit different to do in the evening, highly recommended!

Even if you try really hard, chances are you will not do this place justice. It is so beautiful! The minute you set foot in it you are transported to a world of beauty. It is really big and green, even in October! It is so well looked after...There are rivers, cascades, benches to sit and just take it all in, astonishing trees, breathtaking flowers, the Japanese garden is fantastic. If you only have time to do one thing in Hamburg, this should be at the top of your list.
