Hamburg: not just a port

Upstream of the Elbe, Hamburg is the largest port in Germany, but also the second largest city. As is often the case in open sea cities, Hamburg is a cosmopolitan and attractive city with a strong economic powerhouse that supplies all of its busy streets.
Hamburg is located on the Elbe River a few miles from the North Sea. The city is famous for its nightlife, and St. Paul quarter. Tourists go there to visit his fifty museums, including the Museum of Fine Arts and Decorative Arts. She preserved green areas that allow to soothe the soul after visiting the city. These places are especially on the banks of the Alster. The city also has a city park and a botanical garden named "Planten Blumen." 


Extensively bombed during World War II, Hamburg retains today traces its heritage historique.however,  however, the city radiates culturally: events, museums, opera, concerts ... without forget nightlife whose reputation extends beyond the boundaries very clearly !
Hamburg is the largest port in Germany and the second largest city in terms of population. City-state, Hamburg has always been very independent and proud of its commercial success and wealth accumulated over the centuries. This wealth is reflected in the opulence of some villas. 

The west area of Hamburg near the central station is primarily a commercial area, the streets and Spitaler Mönckebergstraße lead to mayor of Hamburg, near which are the churches of St. Jacobi and St. Petri, two of the five main churches in Hamburg . 

Not far away is the place Rathausmarkt, which hosts many events, especially in summer. North of Rathausmarkt there is a channel called Alsterarkaden and malls, the most famous being the Hanse Viertel. 

Another popular district of Hamburg's Reeperbahn in St. Pauli. This is probably one of the most famous red light districts in the world with that of Amsterdam. Sankt Pauli is one of the most populated areas in Europe and a melting pot of people from around the globe. 

Schanzenviertel is also an area not to be missed, it is located right between Sankt Pauli Eimsbüttel and Altona. Students, immigrants and young designers give this hotel a unique atmosphere. In recent years, due to its success, this quarter has seen the price of rents skyrocketed, so bohemian Schanzenviertel became bourgeois-bohemian.

It was the same for the former Danish village Ottensen which is south of the Altona Central Station, which is now one of the most expensive neighborhoods of Hamburg. 


Therefore, young girls penniless now tend to avoid its neighborhoods become trendy and prefer the less popular places, but that certainly does not take long to become as much as Sankt Georg or Karolienenviertel.

A major tourist destination but also an active business destination, Hamburg has a particularly wide range of lodging. Many places in the district of St. George, around the central train station in Mitte (city center) or St. Pauli, around the Reeperbahn. All hotel categories are represented from 5 stars hostels to cheap youth hostels ... A shared studio apartment  be interesting. Always make reservations before arriving in Hamburg ...
