Where the Beatles played
It is not far from St. Pauli to the El-bchaussee with its mansions, parks, and gardens that runs towards the former fishing village of Blanke-nese - the Naples of the north" -that can be explored up and down its many steps. Back in the city one can devote oneself to art since the area around the main station has five distinguished museums that are just as attractive as the diversity of galleries in the select Harveste-hude quarter and Poseldorf.
But Hamburg also has nooks and crannies and in parts of the city such as the Karoline quarter the image is quite different. Here one finds stores meeting a diverse assortment of sub-cultures, brash cafes, amid the multi-cultural neighborhood in which people from many nations live. The city in which the Beatles kick-started their career in the 1960s still fanatically cultivates a traditional openness towards the world. Hamburg Germany Road

Hamburg Germany

Hamburg is best visited in spring or summer. A typical Hamburg visit includes a tour of the city hall and the grand church St. Michaelis (called the Michel), and visiting the old warehouse district (Speicherstadt) and the harbour promenade (Landungsbrücken). Sightseeing buses connect these points of interest. Of course, a visit in one of the world's largest harbours would be incomplete without having taken one of the harbour and/or canal boat tours (Große Hafenrundfahrt, Fleetfahrt) which start from the Landungsbrücken. Many visitors take a walk in the evening around the area of Reeperbahn, considered Europe's largest red light district and home of many theatres, bars and night clubs. It was in the Reeperbahn that The Beatles began their career with a three month residency at first the Indra Club (48 nights) and then the Kaiserkeller (58 nights) in 1960. Others prefer the laidback Schanze district with its street cafés or a barbecue on one of the beaches along the river Elbe. And not to forget: Hamburg's famous Hagenbeck's Tierpark (Zoo) with the great artificial rock and the first moated, barless enclosures ever to be built (1907). A friend of Hagenbeck's, the illustrator Heinrich Leutemann made some illustrations here. Quite common is a tour through Northern Germany with Hamburg as a starting point or stop-over.
However, most people visit Hamburg because of a specific interest, notably one of the musicals, a sports event, a congress or fair. Therefore, in 2005, the average visitor spent two nights in Hamburg. The majority of visitors come from Germany (80%); most foreigners are European, especially from the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and the largest group from outside Europe comes from the U.S. An interesting footnote is the high number of rich guests from the Arabian peninsula, who seek treatment in one of Hamburg's hospitals

Hamburg's facilities range from the Kunsthalle Art Museum and the State Opera to music clubs on the Reeperbahn.
Hamburg boasts 31 theatres, 6 music halls, 10 cabarets and 50 state and private museums. Of the 4,000 restaurants, 2,400 offer foreign cuisine.
The banks of the Elbe and the Alster rivers are ideal for a stroll. The port sight-seeing trips are impressive and they offer a special perspective on the panorama of Hamburg.
Right in the heart of the city, there is a large lake: the Alster. A boat tour on the Alster ends up in the city centre, where you can go shopping or relax in a street café. And Hamburg's modern underground trains and buses will take you anywhere fast, for a small fare.
The area around Hamburg is especially delightful. The fruit-growing area of the "Altes Land" with its old farmhouses is especially suited for excursions by bus or on bicycle. The historic old towns of Stade and Luneburg can be reached in half an hour. And a trip to L¨beck or the beach on the Baltic Sea takes only one hour by car.
