7 days in Hamburg Itinerary

As the country's biggest port and one of the busiest in all of Europe, Hamburg has a well-deserved reputation as Germany's Gateway to the World.

Get out of town with these interesting Hamburg side-trips: The Wadden Sea, Germany (in Norden), Hannover (The New Town Hall & Herrenhauser Garten) and Schnoor Viertel (in Bremen). There's still lots to do: see the interesting displays at Miniatur Wunderland, get to know the fascinating history of Speicherstadt, admire the landmark architecture of Townhall, and contemplate the long history of Alter Elbtunnel.
