The perfect start to the day: breakfast with a view of the water

With our breakfast, we lay the perfect foundation for a wonderful day full of exciting experiences and start the day in a maritime atmosphere. At one of our top breakfast addresses by the water, we plan the next few hours and relax before the day really gets going.

Food for the soul

After we have taken care of our physical well-being, we make our way to the Kunsthalle. There we visit one of the current exhibitions and walk along art-historical paths from the Middle Ages to the present day. The Hamburger Kunsthalle is one of the most important public art collections in Germany. We buy an admission ticket in advance and immerse ourselves directly in the world of art. With our bestselling Hamburg CARD, you can save up to 30 %! You can also save on many other highlights with the Hamburg CARD and enjoy free travel on buses, trains and harbour ferries in Hamburg.

Moin at lunchtime

Incidentally, it also works 24 hours a day and goes perfectly with the fish roll order: Moin as a greeting, in proper style of course at the fish roll stand. Because a fish roll is the perfect snack for an eventful day in Hamburg, is not too heavy on the stomach and still fills you up. Of course, as with all regional dishes, opinions differ on THE perfect fish sandwich. We've had a look at Hamburg's range of fish sandwiches and our top 10 are sure to have something for everyone! With this in mind: Bon appétit.

Time for the perfect Hamburg accessories

Hamburg's most beautiful shopping centres are worth a stroll whatever the weather. And the probability of going home with more beautiful things than originally planned is almost 100 per cent. Hamburg's retail trade has a long tradition; thanks to the harbour and trade, the Hanseatic city has traditionally been home to particularly unusual items and an above-average variety of goods. A stroll through Hamburg's shops is worthwhile at any time of year.

Now it's getting really tasty

The day is drawing to a close, but there's still no time for melancholy: dinner is just the prelude to the next few hours. Hamburg's gastronomic scene is booming and there is delicious food on almost every corner. From Michelin-starred cuisine and your favourite Italian restaurant around the corner to the perfect currywurst - which, incidentally, originated in Hamburg - the restaurateurs here make the hearts of all gourmets beat faster. For a special culinary experience, we present 5 exceptional restaurants that are second to none and guarantee an unforgettable evening.

Entertainment at its best

Hamburg is the musical capital of Germany and offers a varied programme. Action, adventure, romance and fantasy - the most exciting and captivating characters come to life on Hamburg's stages and whisk audiences away to another world for a few hours. Visually and vocally stunning productions captivate the audience and are guaranteed to linger long in the memory. With our bestselling Hamburg CARD you also get a discount on musical tickets.

Showdown in Hamburg's nightlife

We take the momentum from the musical and dive straight into Hamburg's legendary nightlife. Our nightlife highlights include the best bars above the rooftops of Hamburg, the most legendary dance floors and the most laid-back pubs for a cosy nightcap. In Hamburg, night quickly turns into day and if you only fall into your hotel bed in the early hours of the morning, it's best to quickly draw the curtains for a well-earned sleep.
