[] Hamburg is known for having one of the largest ports worldwide and for its lousy weather… My first stop in this city proved both to be true: the harbour or is really ginormous and the sky in this photo talk alone about the climate, right?

[] While Hamburg’s fish market might feel like a dreamland for seafood lovers, it is not precisely a joy ride for those with sensitive noses or a delicate sense of smell [] Si bien el mercado de pescados de Hamburgo puede parecer un lugar de ensueño para los amantes de los mariscos, yo no dirĂa que es precisamente grato para los que tienen la nariz sensible o un delicado sentido del olfato
[] A good part of Hamburg is basically, as you can see around me: the harbour and the life that developed around it. Just note that the port of Hamburg has such a magnitude that, to this days, it is considered to be the ninth largest in the world, and the second largest in all Europe. Did you know this fact? [] Una buena parte de Hamburgo es, básicamente y como puedes ver a mi alrededor: el puerto y la vida que se desarrollĂł en torno a este. Toma en cuenta que el puerto de Hamburgo tiene tal magnitud que, a la fecha, está considerado como el noveno más grande del mundo, y el segundo de toda Europa. ÂżSabĂas este dato?
[] It is estimated that approximately 85 million tons of goods are handled every day at the terminals of the Hamburg’s Harbour. For me this is the kind of experiences that you have to see with your own eyes, to be able to believe them, hence I tell you that if you visit Hamburg for the first time you HAVE to include a boat cruise through the harbour, because only then you will be able to let yourself be surprised by its magnitude. [] Se estima que aproximadamente unas 85 millones de toneladas de bienes se manejan cada dĂa en las terminales del Puerto de Hamburgo. Para mĂ este el tipo de experiencias que hay que ver para creer y por ello te digo que si visitas por primera vez Hamburgo TIENES que incluir un recorrido en barco por su puerto, porque solo asĂ podrás dejarte sorprender por su magnitud.
I can see that you love to post about Germany which makes me more than happy!
I’ve never been in Hamburg but from your photos and posts I can see it’s a very beautiful town and it deserves to go on a boat cruise. How many days did you spend there? Is it enough to go there for example for a weekend only? Because I am thinking of to go there for the weekend next year. Maybe you can give more recommendations.
Hi @PoliMC , you just made my night with that “as always”, thanks for that, I take it as a compliment!
About my many Germany posts (with much more to come) I had to chance to live a few months in different places in Germany and to travel to some top destinations around the country. And with Connect I’m not only reconnecting with other Local Guides, but with my image bank and my past experiences.
About Hamburg…
I have been 3 times to Hamburg, but only one as a tourist, which is where I got most of these photos. The other two times I was focused into some bureaucratic stuff, so not much to report about…
That one time as a tourist was a weekend getaway, so I would say that you can indeed get a great scope of the city within that timeframe. I have been posting a bit about what I found to be more interesting about Hamburg, which I of course made with the perspective of a tourist. Not of a local, nor someone who lived there.
Inspired by your question, I will soon make a post with my suggestions. As the answer I was giving you ended up being too big, hahahaha.
I spent a few seasons in a small town called Uedem, then a few more seasons in the suburbs of Cologne and then in Bonn. During this time, and in between, I went to cities such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Dresden, Bayreuth, DĂĽsseldorf, Aachen and very briefly to Frankfurt and Koblenz. All from which I could produce posts since I have documented everything.
About the food: I loved it, because I did it my way. Note that because I am a ovo-lacto vegetarian I could barely eat many of the traditional dishes with their original recipe. Yet far from that, Germany is quite a heaven for vegetarians, with supermarkets filled with options one weirder than the other.
Post will be published today, mixing a bit of my previous posts and adding some new stuff, you sort of threw me a challenge with that question!
That sounds so nice! Which town did you like the most? Or all of them were incredible? I’ve visited like you Aachen, Bonn, Cologne, Dresden and Düsseldorf. I used to live one month in Aachen and Dresden and they are just amazing.
I will be very interested when you create those posts about those towns. If you want you can check also mine from Dresden and a part from Prague: Dresden und die Umgebung erkunden.
I will wait to see your post and I am only curious how did you find Germany because I like it a lot and it’s always interesting for me to learn new things and too see the perspective of the other people about the different towns there.
