Welcome to Hamburg! How much could you really tell me about Hamburg? If you’re like me, then before setting out to this criminally overlooked city, you might have only known it as one of the big German cities that isn’t Berlin. I’m here to tell you that it’s so, so much more than that, and I can’t believe I went so long without visiting. Hamburg is a city on the water, and as Europe’s third-largest port, Hamburg is known as Germany’s ‘Gateway to the World’. The river Elbe is the source - the main artery that brings Hamburg to life. From river tours pacing the canals of the Speicherstadt to the container ships loaded by crane in the Harbour, trade and prosperity brought to Hamburg by the river Elbe shaped the city from its foundations. But not everything great in Hamburg sails down the Elbe. From sky-scraping concert
halls .. to miniature model railways. From Vegas-style red light district nightlife .. to cool, underground gourmet burger restaurants. Hamburg is a modern, global city with a rich history and culture, with something to fascinate everyone. We’re Jake and Tom, from Holiday Extras, and this is our Hamburg Adventure. On our first day, we’re going to see the sights the way Hamburg sells them. The full-blown Tourist experience, visiting Hamburg’s most highly recommended tourist experiences, to let you know if they make the cut. On Day 2? We loosen up a little. Find our own way. Indulge our flights of fancy, and do Hamburg the way we wanted. Indulge ourselves! We wanted to find out what Hamburg had to offer that was perfect for Jake and Tom. The two days of our trip turned out to be so different - and I hope you find what we learned useful. We learned a lot! But what surprised me the most about this trip was how fun it can be to just chase my curiosity - and break my own expectations. Our adventure started at Gatwick Airport - filling up on free breakfast in the lounge to prepare for the journey ahead. From the airport it was easy - we booked a transfer in advance - and before long we were at our accommodation, resting up before our Hamburg trip truly began. We kicked off Day One the way any good day starts - with a coffee. There are plenty of places along the river to grab a pretty great coffee, and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try my first ever big pretzel. (WHICH was great, by the way.) Charged with coffee and pretzels, we were ready to go - now it was time to get stuck in to Hamburg’s most highly recommended things to do. Hamburg is a city on the water. In central Hamburg, the river Elbe divides off into smaller, narrower canals that interlace a beautiful district called the Speicherstadt, which means ‘City of Warehouses’. The Speicherstadt is the largest warehouse district in the world- Ignore me - it’s actually the largest warehouse district in the world where the buildings stand on timber-pile foundations. Fun fact - this case, they’re made of Oak! Which makes it a big tourist attraction, and it consistently comes up as one of the most recommended places to visit in Hamburg. Now having been here ourselves? Totally agree with that. It’s beautiful, you have lovely views of the river, it’s really nice to walk around, lots of places to grab a coffee and just… just waste some time, y’know? There’s lots of other attractions that are based here as well because it’s so popular with tourists, so it’s definitely somewhere you should have on your list. Some of the most picturesque places in the city are around the Speicherstadt, and most city and harbour tours will go through here. The iconic warehouse facades are one of the most recognisable sites in Hamburg. Although we could have easily wandered back and forth over the canal bridges all morning, sipping coffee and admiring the architecture, it was time to move on. And we had a little place in mind. So this next place calls itself one of the epicentres of hamburg tourism.
I've lived in the city for over 70 years - three tips -
1) best view of the harbour and the river is from the platform of the Nicolai church from which only the burnt out ruins from WW II are left. The ticket for the ride to the visitors platform includes the visit to a small underground museum..
2) best view over the inner city and the Alster is from the tower of the St. Petri church but be warned, there is no elevator and there are many steps!!
3) a bit of a strange tip - if you stay in the city for more than 3 days or so - visit Ohlsdorf cemetery. It's one of the biggest cemeteries in the world and from the beginning it has been planned as a park like place with hundreds of different types of trees and bushes. Just quiet beautiful nature!
So far the best video I've seen on Hamburg. The more I notice that also here in this great video the Außenalster and Blankenese are missing. I recommend a canoe tour on the canals of the city. Then you notice why Hamburg has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and London together. I would really go once completely around the Außenalster (8 km) and order an Aporol Spritz at the Alsterperle with a beautiful view over the lake to the city center and the church towers. One touches the numerous beautiful villas of Harvestehude, Winterhude and Uhlenhorst. Also a bicycle tour along the Alsterwanderweg to the Locks and back are wonderful. You are in the middle of the city and always in the green. This is a completely different world and unique for a city of millions. In the city center there are also the largest inner-city moors in Central Europe. Nature and water, but also urbanity - everywhere! The Elbtunnel is also great. In addition, there are the Elbe beaches between the fish market and Blankenese with a stop at the beach pearl. Maybe a second part? 🙂
Наш Гамбург самый красивый, люблю его 😊
In the year 2000, Frederik and Gerrit walked into the Hamburger Savings Bank and asked for a one million euro loan to build a large model railway. Although their business plan was only written down on two sheets of paper, the bank manager was impressed and the loan authorised. It has always been a forward thinking city.
I went for the Christmas markets and it is my favourite place in the world. I can’t describe how happy I felt.
Fantastic video guys. Jake's voice is a dream! 😊
My favourite city in Germany. Living in the south, I need to visit Hamburg at least once a year.
The best Travel Video i have watched yet!
Been there for 3 days last summer and i felt in love! Going again in December and then again in the summer of 2020!
U still coming in summer 2020?😂
@@ems1717 Jup! Next week i will be there with some Friends.
great video. im born and raised in hamburg and to see that other people enjoy hamburg so much brightens my soul. thank you
This should have more likes.
Awsome job! Narrating, filming, editing, and choice of music. Superb!
Thank you very much!
hamburg meine perle 🥺 i’ve lived here my whole life and i’m not planning on ever leaving 🤍
And if you're a transport fan....Hamburg is a fantastic place to visit. It has U-Bahns, S-Bahns, regional and long distance trains galore, plus virtually non-stop freight trains at the wonderful Hamburg- Harburg station. I've been twice and enjoyed every minute!
Thank you so much for this nice and colourful portrait of Hamburg's nicest sides! 🤗
Love this! So informative. Also great mix between fun and casual holiday blog and professional travel guide.
I think the port of hamburg is second biggest in europe.
I've been to Hamburg twice and I'm thinking of going again in 2020. Thanks for this great video, it really helped me narrow down the things I may want to do next time. The camera work of this video is amazing btw :)
corona virus has entered the chat
@@vineettiwari8124 I'm german and live in Germany so it's not as bad as travelling internationally but don't worry - I've decided against travelling at all this year because of corona. Time to stay home!
Cat I live in Spain and have just got back from a week in Vienna and a week in Berlin and it wasn't as bad as I thought it whould be, you just have to fill in passenger location forms on entry to Germany, take the covid test in Germany and fill in another passenger location form wen returning to Spain. I am going to hamburg next June can you reccomend things to do, thanks Richard.
@@richardupton3323 Hi Richard. Traveling for tourist reasons is not allowed anymore in Germany (or at least Bavaria where I am) at the moment because we are in the start of a lockdown. I really wouldn't recommend traveling a lot at the moment anyway as it may put the locals of the places you're visiting at risk.
anyway as far as recommendations for Hamburg: go to the top of the Elbphilharmonie, from there you can see the whole city. Also the Japanese gardens are pretty and the "Altstadt" is lovely to walk through.
I think the main point is that 2 days by far are not enough for Hamburg. There is soo much more. Reeperbahn is not the only street to visit in St. Pauli, then Schanzenviertel, Altona, Blankenese, the fish market and hall (if on the weekend), the city hall, the Aussen- and Binnenalster (e.g. canoeing through the little canals there) and and and.
This Quality of videography is mad! Thanks for visiting my Homecity, I am glad you liked it :)
This video is everything I needed! Thank you so much 🍻
You're very welcome, Juan! It's a fantastic city and I had an amazing time there - underrated, if you ask me! - Jake
Great travel guides
Hamburg is one of our favorite cities here in Germany - it's only way too cold in the winter :D Greetings from Bianca & Thomas
It's one of our favourite cities in the whole world! We definitely had to wrap up warm in February, but it was worth it to explore this amazing place. :)
Or as we say: „There’s no bad weather, there are only bad clothes“ :D
certainly yes
El Hamburgo Hab dich auf fast jedem Hamburgvideo gesehen haha
I'm going for the day next month, can't wait. Thanks for the video guys
Great video, thank you ✨🙏✨
great video thank u guys !!!
Such a great video mate! And your pronounciation of Speicherstadt sounds really like we say it in Bavaria and Austria :)
Great travel guides, hope there’s lot more to come!👍
Thanks Eric! We have many more guides coming very soon. :) Where should we visit next?
Sweet can’t wait!🙌
Maybe the Basque Country,
More Nordic country’s is always good too,
Also wouldn’t be Irish if I didn’t recommend exploring the rest of the island 😉😂
really nice video🤩
0:59 nope, Vegas is a St. Pauli-style-city with sights from many other cities :D Good video, man, greets from Hamburg!
I like the thinking! 😉 Greetings from the UK!
True
You say the truth !
Greetings from Hamburg !
15:44, the Schanzenviertel would have been a very good guess as well, less crowded but not worse at all.
Went for a day; did the stuff in the video. Had a great time.
Content approved.
Great to hear!
Really enjoyed your documentary even living in Hamburg it makes you aprieciate the city you live in from a new Perspektive 🙋🏽♀️👋🏼👍🏼
Love from karachi broooo😍😍
What a great video, love the vibes. And the cinematography!!! What cameras did you use for these shots? Enjoyed the video a lot, thanks for the experience.
Best
Thanks so much from Yemen.
Thank you from the UK!
Nice video. I have studied at Hamburg university for a couple of years. And I liked more other parts of Hamburg then the ones you show.... I won't tell which. Too much tourism is never good, especially I don't like people with a "Bucket List". Sounds so superficial and unmature.
[Add]: And instead of eating a "Hamburger" you shoud have tried a fish roll (best roll with herring and onions). That is really Hamburg, more than a Hamburger. 🙂
Great video.
Thanks! Have you watched our other travel guides?
@@HolidayExtrasTravelGuides no but i will
cool
Welcome
Damn that video is beautiful.
I live over there btw
How did you commute to all these places. Public transport or do we need a car
Public transport and a lot of walking!
Public transport is much easier than a car.

How many cups of coffee does this guy drink per day? lol
Hamburg is nice to visit, living there becomes boring after a couple of years
That's a shame, we were there for a week and had a great time! Any tips for anyone looking to visit?
No living here is great!
why?
I living in hamburg for 11 years now and i never felt so comfortable and free in a city. I just have to watch myself, doing not to much party
@@r.mcdichnich1979 why not much party?
How can zoos be nice to see when the animals (like the forced* dancing elephants) are locked in for their lives?🙄
Informative. But telling how beautiful it is but mostly showing your face is not sooooo interesting ;)
