Hamburg

The biggest port in the world can be found in Hamburg, a city bursting with life along the harbour of the Elbe River. Its coast has been at the forefront of international trade and maritime sector, making it one of the wealthiest cities in Germany. But beyond its pier lies a cosmopolitan petri dish of arts appreciation that seafarers and tourists love to explore.

The best time to take a stroll in Hamburg’s urban parks would be spring, just in time for the flora to be in full bloom. Pops of color decorate the city streets and establishments, and the breezy temperature calls for a lovely afternoon walk. But if you’re more keen to join public festivals or sail down the river Elbe, book your trip around summer.

Hamburg’s local nightlife buzzes to life in St. Georg, a LGBTQ+ friendly neighbourhood of diverse communities and food spots. The Old Town of Altstadt is also a great place to stay at if you’re a fan of historic buildings and architectural wonders beautifully maintained through the centuries. Last but not the least is St. Pauli, a red light district best known for its cheap end of alley bars and pubs.
