Best Time To Visit Hamburg

The peak travel months to Hamburg are during the months of April, May, June.

Hamburg is connected to the North Sea by the Elbe River. It’s crossed by hundreds of canals, and also contains large areas of parkland. Inner Alster lake is dotted with boats and surrounded by cafes. The city’s central Jungfernstieg boulevard connects Neustadt to landmarks like 18th-century St. Michael’s Church.

The Museum Mile begins with the Hamburger Kunsthalle and ends with the Deichtorhallen. The Hamburgische Staatsoper is where the state opera and ballet perform. This opera house is located just north of Jungfernstieg which is Hamburg’s most premier shopping boulevard. Specialist boutiques line pedestrianized Colonnaden street, and Spitalerstrasse has department stores.

Nightlife centers around Reeperbahn in the St. Pauli quarter, home to bars and a red light district. Oysters and traditional Aalsuppe are local food specialties.
