    First night in Germany I went to a concert in the Hamburg St. James Church. I thought I could call a taxi from there, but it turned out I needed to know a telephone code I wasn't aware of. I asked a few people who were closing up the church what I should do. They didn't figure out that I just needed the code, but here's what happened instead. One woman in her 70s walked with me to the train station, not too far away, where there's always taxis. Now think about this - here's an old woman going off in the middle of the night with a man she doesn't know in a city the size of Philadelphia. How dangerous is that in the US? How safe must Germany be in comparison?

    Thanks for the video and greetings from Hamburg. I love it when my hometown is appreciated! Hamburg, meine Perle... My favourite places are: 1) The "Elbvororte" (the suburban areas along the Elbe): Rissen, Blankenese, Nienstedten, Oevelgönne. You can literally walk (or bike) from Wedel in the West to Altona while watching the river the whole time and pass through these old fishermen's villages with their captains' houses. 2) The "Speicherstadt" (now Weltkulturerbe) with its historic warehouses and the Miniatur-Wunderland which has been mentioned in some other comments before. 3) Hagenbecks Tierpark: A privately owned zoo (the only one in Germany?) with a lot of Jugendstil elements in its architecture. Interesting fact: Did you know that after WWII their elephants helped to clear the streets of rubble? 4) The shops in the city: With its history as a trading city there are many very old shops full of tradition, and I love those little miniature malls ("Passagen"), many of them in beautiful historical buildings. As for the things you don't like: The Reeperbahn is actually one of the least seedy red-light districts in Germany as far as I know (no match for the Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel). There are lots of "in-places", pubs, clubs, the best Chinese restaurant in Hamburg, Schmidt's Theater and Tivoli etc. , even the police station is beautiful. ... and every party person should at least once go to Hans-Albers-Eck. Aaah, and for the bad weather: We say (and that's a fact), there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing. Buy a "Friesennerz" next time! ;-) Your videos are awesome, keep it up!

    Yeah I remember just ending up in Hamburg for along layover and such a great, underrated city. I guess the "hate" here is actually one of it's greatest strength, as it's really a place best experienced as a very "modern" European city and not really treated like a connect-the-dots sightseeing trip.

  • @J0intV3nture
    @J0intV3nture8 жыл бұрын

    Hamburg has been my home for eleven years now (i'm 35) and I don't regret any single minute of it. The city has treated me very well, in many life situations, since I've moved and I will probally never move. The Reeperbahn might seem a bit seedy or shady, as you say, but you could also say the same about Amsterdam in certain areas. It's just not the typical sightseeing place to go to. Though I agree, Lüneburg, Lübeck and Kiel are the better examples for that. The grittiness of the Reeperbahn is what makes it so different from any other mile in the world. It's just not Las Vegas. It's very raw, Rock 'n' Roll so to say. Coming from a now established local, here are my honest top 5 love/hate things about Hamburg, Love 1. The people. Very friendly, down to earth. Open minded. All ages. 2. The pulse of the city. It may seem hectic, but it's not. Hamburg is very mellow step by step kind of city. We don't like to be hastled. 3. Despite being the 2nd biggest city, you can still literally walk from the center (Alster) to the major districts (St. Pauli, Schanze, Rotherbaum, Winterhude) within a reasonable time and not miss out on nice places and parks to see along the way. You can describe it as the largest village you have ever been to. 4. Public Transport. Since everything major is close to and surrounded by other go-to districts, it won't take you long to get there via Bus or Sub or even bike. 10-20min tops. 5. Social activity. There are alot of things to do. Seriously. Even after all these years, living in such a dense city, I still haven't been to a mere width of what Hamburg has to offer. Restaurants, Bars, shops.... Hate 1. The increasing poverty and homeless. It has always been there, but not as obvious as compared to the last 4 years or so. People with real issues are begging in the Sub now, hole collectives sleeping under bridges...You will NOT get mugged, it's just really sad to see all this increase of no options living at your doorstep. 2. Rent and making a living. Yes it is expensive to live in Hamburg. You can be very lucky, when you know where to look, but for someone new, it probally will be a little overwhelming at first. Prices per rented space can be double if not more than compared to other towns in Germany, with Munich at first place. 3. We all know the Beatles made their break here, but the Beatles Museum closed down because no one went to see it. It's absolutely dissapointing. The music scene is there, but Hamburgs upcoming musicans and underground scene are somewhat lackluster. You do get to see great shows, but they all all not from around here. 4. The on-going debate about which city is better. Berlin or Hamburg. There is simply no debate. If you know what I mean... :) 5. It's become a sellout city. Modern buildings. Fancy Walkways. Alot of money involved. Too many big companies taking over and decisions are made which ruin alot of the charm you would see when coming here the first place.

Also, the choice of food outlets at the mainline station is amazing. For smokers, at the airport, behind security, there is a bar with a smoking room. Take a guided tour of the Rathaus, its got two more rooms than Buckingham Palace!

    Moin moin! I love Hamburg and will be making my 3rd visit there in the spring. I actually find your first point about the relative lack of stereotypically quaint German architecture one of the city's strengths but have to point out that what counts as historical architecture in northern Germany is NOT Black Forest style stereotype in any case. Somebody going to Luebeck expecting their version of Old Germany will be disappointed- completely different vernacular. Anyway I have to also add that what counts as "expensive" in Germany's two priciest cities- Hamburg and Munich- is really very reasonable compared with the nightmare that is, say, Copenhagen. And Hamburg is MUCH funner than Copenhagen. Tschuess!

    I visited earlier in the year and pretty much agree with what you said. I'd add that it has a cool transportation system and metro. By purchasing the Hamburg travel card, discounts can become available to many attractions. I personally loved the geography of the place, much of it sculpted by the large areas of water and the many narrower strips and canals. Hamburg has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and London combined. Also, there are plenty of large parks and open spaces, very much appreciated in a city of 1.8 million people. Like you said, the people here are great. I was often approached by a friendly local when they saw me staring at my street map and they were always happy to help me find my way. One brilliant attraction I also need to mention is Miniature Wonderland, the world's biggest model railway. Not just for train geeks, this place is tons of fun and features hundreds of moving cars and planes, not just the trains. You will be staggered by the attention to detail and amused by the hidden humour.

    I've been living in Berlin a year now, and I'm still a ways from feeling like I've integrated and know all the inside jokes, or stereotypes Germans have of their different socio geographical or economic contexts; but I´m surprised about the comment about people from hamburg being open and friendly. What I've heard is that people in Hamburg have a reputation for being dryer, colder and more reserved people than in the rest of Germany, which is saying something. I visited once for a few days, but didn't really interact with any locals, so I can't really say if what I've heard about them is true, but I did notice people seemed more put together and not as grungy as in Berlin which I found refreshing.

    You can go on a boat trip on the Elbe from Landungsbrücken up to Blankenese all year through. You can take the HVV ferries. They are included in the public transport, so if you buy for example a day based ticket you can use them on the day as often as you want.

    Another thing you can add to the "Love's of Hamburg" is the football. (Soccer if you're american) 3 awesome teams in the city Hamburg, FC ST Pauli and Altona 93. fantastic atmospheres and a great quality of football. This can also apply to the whole I Germany since tickets for games are only like 10 to 20 euros. So if your a fan of sports or want something cheap to do whilst in Germany I would suggest Football.

If you like ice hockey we have also the Hamburg Freezers with a great athmosphere too. Hamburg is with Munich the biggest sports city of Germany.

    @@arlingtonmusicfanh2518 The best way is by rail. Depart from either Hamburg Hbf. or Hamburg Altona. You may need to change trains at Neumünster. The Flensburg station is a bit beyond walking distance from the center of town, but frequent buses will take you there for a nominal charge. It's an interesting city with lots of "Danish influence." There are also plenty of nice places to eat.
