well, hamburg, i think there are other cities called hamburg too, but i actually mean the one in germany, yes the one up in the north. a lot of you (even people from germany) are thinking, hamburg is on the ocean, and we are living on the sea. unfortunately, thats wrong, we got a large port here and a bit of a beach too, but when we likie to see the real sea we have to travel about 1 1/2 h to get there. but hamburg is a beautiful looking city even without all these ocean stuff. lots of green parks are settled everywhere so you dont have to take a long walk to get there, nearly every part of the city has got his own park. if you need something different, go shopping or do some cultural events. lot of big shopping areas are around the alster, kind of a large lake in the middle of town. you are able to find everything you want. or visit the michel an old church and a famous sightseeing stop. if the weather is good, climb up all the 400 steps and you will have a great 360°view over hamburg

Favourite spots:

well ask hamburgs inhabitants and everybody will tell you something different, like everywhere. i like an old cemetry, up north about 1/2 h by the undeground, it s a large park, with old trees, good to relax. or i really like to sit on banch on the harbour watching ships passing by. the best coffee i got ever was in a coffesop called noodles its a bit funny the name, but they got also deliscous food as well. but there also a lot of cafés they have good cafe as well, but i cant name everyone. the best cake you can get is in the turnhalle, every sunday they have a large brunch, and you have to try at least one of their rich cake slices. yummi. altona, is the place where i like to go shopping usually, small shops nice people and lots of different things you can buy. and dont miss a walk around the alster.

What's really great:
townhall

i cant really tell you what i like special. i think i named everything already. you have to come here, visiting clubs and stuff like that by yourself, but i will help you if you like to find some other nice spots i might have forgotten.

Accommodations:
one of the fleets in hamburg

i ve never used an accomodation here, but i will find out for you where you can stay, promised.

Nightlife:
i like the one called herzblut it right on this famous walk kiez, but i prefer the small lounge bar, where they play good music to dance to or just to listen called bar nouar
