Thinking that Hamburg is just the hometown of one of everyone’s favourite dish, the hamburger, would be a BIG mistake. First, because there are so many stories about the origin of the name hamburger that we will never now.

Second, because Hamburg is so much more! Located far up North in Germany, Hamburg lays like an emerald surrounded by hundreds of waters in the middle of Europe. Most people think that Venice is the city with the most bridges, but actually Hamburg has more!

It is also a lovely city for runners, and today we will discover it through 4 Instarunners living there.
