Our Insider Tips!
Next to the harbor and the Elbe, the Michel and the Elbphilharmonie, Hamburg has all sorts of places and locations that can’t be found in any travel guide - and which shouldn’t be missing on any to-do list. For this reason we here at the Madison got together and wrote down our favorite parts of town, cultural offerings, restaurants, parks, shops and everything else noteworthy. And we’re certain there are many things that you would like too!
But that’s not all: here you can also find out where the best selfie spots are to take home some once-in-a-lifetime pictures. And if there is something, which is written in every travel guide, that you had better just forget, you can find out about that here, too. Remember to check by frequently, as we will always be adding new insider tips for you!

For me, the perfect day starts with a delicious breakfast. I can definitely recommend the breakfast buffet at our THE MADISON Restaurant. Here, we pay great attention to fresh products which we receive from local manufactures.

My perfect day begins, when I am woken by the sun and not my alarm clock. After strolling around the farmer’s market I stop by the Kleine Bäckerei and bring home fresh, oven-warm rolls and tasty nougat croissants.
