Only a short visit to Hamburg.

by leics - last update: Apr 18, 2004

View of Hamburg, looking west.
I visited a friend in Hamburg for a couple of days earlier this year. It's a very clean city and largely modern. I got a good deal at the Holiday Inn, which was a bit further out of town than I thought. I like to walk everywhere if I can!
The bells, the bells.......
We climbed the tower of Hamburg's landmark church ....... (largely reconstructed, with rather scary open-tread metal stairs!). Excellent views from the top, however, and the bells and clock mechanism were interesting. Worth overcoming your vertigo!
Bombed church.
And these are the bombed-out remains of a church, which is now a war memorial. Rather like Coventry cathedral, I suppose.

Pros:"Good transport and super cakes."
Cons:"Not being able to cross a clear road until the lights were on green. Irritating!"
In A Nutshell:"Modern, clean, organised, law-abiding."

 Nice Pictures of Hamburg. Never have any problem crossing on red myself. Maybe you just ran into the wrong people :)
