Hamburg Attractions

Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, is a fascinating place that provides tourists and locals alike with so many great things to do. The best way to begin your Hamburg adventure is to soak in some Hamburg history. For a timeline of Hamburg, visit the Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte, whose extensive collection ranges from artifacts dating from the city's foundation in the Middle Ages to visions of the future, with main subjects such as harbor, transport and trade being covered extensively, as well as numerous interesting sections dealing with the constitutional, cultural and social history of the city. The life-size model of the steamer on the second floor is a must see and a popular attraction.

The Hamburg City Hop-on Hop-off Tour is the ideal way to get around Hamburg, and be part of a fantastic tour at the same time. Have the freedom to do what you want, when you want as the double-decker bus stops at various locations, giving you the opportunity to shop, have lunch, and tour the city. Hop on and off as often as you like, wherever you like. The Red Double Decker Bus will take you to the most interesting sights in the new and old parts of Hamburg.

There is a saying that you haven't experienced Hamburg until you've seen it from the water. Fortunately, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that, one of them being aboard the HADAG -Hafenrundfahrt boats which offer amenities such as heaters, food, drinks and much more. The experienced captains ferry you around the shipyards, the docks, container terminals, the customs post and the loading and unloading terminal at Hansa or Kaiser Wilhem port. You could literally spend days in Hamburg and not run out of exciting things to do.
