It is amazing what people can experience in and around Hamburg. As Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city, which hardly anyone knows, the infrastructure is amazing! In 2017 the city welcomed 6.8 million tourists and business people. For 17 years straight the city has been breaking visitor records.

The Binnenalster (City Lake with shopping, restaurants & hotels around)

There are so many interesting areas in the city, but today I will focus mainly on the city center. In “downtown” Hamburg you will experience a fantastic combination of fantastic shopping, parks, city lakes, and great hotels and restaurants. In addition to that, a variation of museums, galleries and tourist attraction are within walking distance.

After arriving at the airport and being picked up by Driving Butler, a cab or taking the subway you arrive in the city center in about 20 minutes by car or 30 minutes by subway. Within minutes of arriving at your subway destination station, you will arrive at your hotel. Some great options individual hotels are:

Some great restaurants or insider tips for good food in the vicinity of these hotels are:

  • Mö Grill (Great for a quick snack, typical curry wurst and great fries, located on the Jungfernstieg above the subway station)
  • NIKKEI NINE (offering innovative Japanese cuisine incorporated with Peruvian ingredients, located in the Fairmont Hotel Vierjahreszeiten)
  • Meatery bar + restaurant (Best Dry-Age and Wet-Age Steaks in town, located in the SIDE Design Hotel)

Stay tuned for more insights coming to you soon
