#Review #Hamburg - Summing up
Apart from a few minor details, I think I've covered everything I wanted to about Hamburg. I only spent three days in the city during the coldest time of the year, but I still enjoyed the trip and I don't regret at all having…

On my last day, I decided to walk around and take some photos of the city's architecture in a more diverse way. After all, there's not just one type of brick here.
So to say, in contrast to those who consider Germany architecturally unattractive.
After strolling around the city center for a couple of days, I decided to head further afield, to the Sternschanze district of Hamburg.
They call it all sorts of things here... Migrant-infested, dirty, hipster, party hub... In general, people love to…

They say January is one of the most boring months in Germany.
But I have no complaints about Hamburg - even in the cold winter month, there are plenty of tourists here, and in the evening, the city is still lit up with the lights from the past…
The Art Gallery in Hamburg may not be among the ten most famous museums, but it still deserves at least a little attention!
At the very least, here you can see several paintings in person that you've probably seen many times online, or even in a history…

I've shown you the industrial port area, but what do the residential streets of the city near the river look like?
The Altstadt district is almost entirely built on water, and it's not without reason that it's called the "German Amsterdam". To…
Another of the ancient engineering creations in #Hamburg - an underground tunnel under the Elbe River.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the cargo port of Hamburg began to expand to the opposite side of the river, and the question arose of how to send…
Of course, since the warehouse district of #Hamburg was declared a cultural heritage site and began to be restored, it has undergone significant transformations both externally and internally.
Where goods were once stored, offices are now located. On the…
The Hamburg Speicherstadt, or literally "warehouse city" in German, is the largest warehouse district in the world, built at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries.
Despite the fact that half of the buildings were destroyed during the Second World War, the…

One of the most unusual attractions of Hamburg, if not all of Germany - Flakturn IV
A former Luftwaffe anti-aircraft tower, built from solid concrete and serving simultaneously as an air defense center and a bunker. As you might guess, there were…
#Hamburg
Paradoxically, snow falls extremely rarely in the north of Europe. The proximity to the sea makes the climate moderate, and prevents the temperature from dropping much below zero.
But I managed to experience a real winter fairy tale in January! All…
#Hamburg
The jewel of the city - the Rathaus, or the city hall in our terms.
By the standards of the old city, the building is simply enormous. Surprisingly, such beauty was built only at the very end of the 19th century!
#Hamburg - first impressions of the city
Definitely, this is still Germany. However, it already evokes something of Denmark or Belgium. The classic white/pastel architecture is complemented by brick houses. The streets are sometimes narrower, and cars are…
#Hamburg
But something terrible happened on the way - it started snowing in Germany! Not just snow, but snow with slush!
In Europe, people usually aren't prepared for this, so the whole city instantly turned into a freezing, slushy swamp 🤢
And I was lucky…
After Berlin, Munich, and Frankfurt, there's still one more city in Germany that I'd like to visit to tick off all the boxes.
So I'm hopping on the high-speed train and heading to #Hamburg!
