MY INSIDER TIPS
I am happy to share with you some personal tips for a perfect day in Hamburg. I hope that you will like it and get inspired to explpore Hamburg.
Ready to explore Hamburg? Let's go! If you are here for the first time (and not only then), a tour on the hop-on hop-off bus is a personal rcommendation. Line A of the red double-decker buses is a 10-minute walk from the MADISON, right in front of the "Landungsbrücken".
You drive past the Elbphilharmonie, through the historic warehouse district Speicherstadt and the HafenCity with its exciting modern architecture. The city center with the town hall and Alster lake as well as the chic villa district Pöseldorf and of course St. Pauli with its legendary Reeperbahn will be toured as well.
Then, you should go shopping on the Neuer Wall. I love strolling through Hamburg's most exclusive shopping street. You will find international designers such as Chanel, Prada and Cartier as well as elegant owner-operated shops.
For a dinner with a view, I recommend the Fischereihafen Restaurant on the Große Elbstraße. Here you can get first-class fish specialties and tasty wines. Our reception will be happy to reserve a table for you.
The Blockbräu is a little more rustic. The restaurant with its own beer, hearty home cooking and a huge sun terrace to the harbor can be found directly at the Landungsbrücken, just a few minutes from the MADISON.
Oh, there is so much more to experience in Hamburg: from harbor tours and bike tours to musical visits, beach clubs and so on. Talk to me and my team personally for further tips.
