HAMBURG - First Time in Germany's Most Beautiful City?!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- We finally visited Hamburg, Germany!! We continued our German Road Trip and made our way up north this major port city. It was Deana's first time in Hamburg and Phil's first "real" time checking out the city. We never have enough time in each city, but it was a good sampling of the area and what's in Hamburg!
Where should we go next? :)

Have you been to Hamburg, Germany? Let us know your thoughts of Hamburg! 🤗💜
Never been but will be in my list for my first time to Germany 😃
I live near hamburg I really want to meet you so bad big fann
I live in Hamburg... ❤❤❤
I've been in Hamburg 14 Years ago. Beautiful Town and a total different Character as Berlin or Munich. Hanseatic Attitude and cosmopolitan Flair - Germanys Gate to the World. I like this City. Must see!
My Wife is born in Zeven a hour away from Hamburg. So when my son was born we went somewhere nearby zeven . And we also went to Hamburg, where i bought a bunch of Lego in the Lego shop "For my son"
Also my Friend got in a ugly fistfight at the reeperbahn but that was way before wife and son....
About the €10,- sandwich, you guys don't go to the Netherlands often, cause a regular döner is €8,- in my village ☹️
You know what they say about German cities. If you have the choice between Berlin and Munich, you will, of course, choose Hamburg.
😂
Ich war da 4 Jahre zum Studium. Das Wetter is nicht mein Ding. Berlin hat drei Mal so viele Sonnentage. Das wiegt auch kein Füschbrootchen wieder auf.
Würde immer München nehmen, wenn ich mich zwischen München, Hamburg, und Berlin entscheiden müsste.
Als Norddeutscher: Sch... auf Berlin und München...immer Hamburg :)
@@neinnein9306 Regen juckt mich nicht als Norddeutscher. Ist eigentlich sogar das beste Wetter.
Unfortuntaly you missed some of those Quarters like "Ottensen", "Eimsbüttel", "Eppendorf", "Winterhude", the "Stadtpark"-Area etc. a little outside the city center and each of them with it´s own character (more living-places, more "normal" shops for daily needs, more local stuff and so on. So, some say, taking a trip with the subway line 3 (the one you could see on the viaduct at the harbourside) would be the cheapest way to have a sightseeing-trip. Other recommendation would be to take a boat-trip with one of those "Alsterdampfer"... so much to see, ...just to much to get a real impression in just 2 days. Think you´ll need at least a week.
For me, yes, the most beautiful german city!
We always got our Lebensmittel at the Aldi in Eimsbüttel.
Yeah you’re right. Most people only see the „tourist“ districts like HafenCity etc. But the true beauty of Hamburg is located in the living districts.
It's so funny that they "complain" about the wind. I grew up close to the North sea and if I visit cities that are not near a coast I feel that I can not breath correctly and that the air is not fresh. And every time I come back home the first thing I do is take a deep breath and realize how nice fresh air is
I'm Irish. Come here and see what strong wind is like on an island out in the Atlantic lol Storm force winds and the tail end of hurricanes are not uncommon with electricity poles down and power out for days in some rural parts. Still I love that fresh air too. Moved to Stuttgart for a year and hated the dead polluted air with not a puff of wind. Now I live beside the sea back home again and the fresh sea air is wonderful.
@@greenknitter would love to visit
Same Feeling...i worked in the Saarland 4 a while and come home by train 2 Times a year..if the elbbrücken comes... open the train Windows (At this time it can be opened)..and take deepest breath...because i dont breathing 4 a Half year🤭☺
i love Hamburg. I was there during the Christmas season and with its 11 Christmas markets, all of which are so beautifully different, it was beautiful. 🖤🤍💙
We can only imagine and hopefully they will have the Christmas markets this year. :)
Fun fact: Hamburg has more bridges inside its city limits than any other city in the world and more canals than Amsterdam and Venice combined.
Thanks for translating
Wrocław in Polen hat ca 100 Brucken
btw. Berlin also has masses of bridges, just (depending on the definition), just slightly less than Hamburg. maybe even 2nd in the world (also more than Venice, Amsterdam, London etc.). Its often overseen that Berlin is a kind of water spot too. It was once one of the biggest inland ports and still has some harbours (also a container habour). It has 5 rivers, lot of channels, masses of lakes (there are even spots like 'little venice' where u can only move around by boat - similar to some spots in the Netherlands), all within the city borders.
I live in Hamburg, and I think it is just amazing. So many parks, the "Alster", the "roadtrips", ahh, it's just beautiful!
"Lange Reihe", "Mönckebergstraße", "Planten un Blomen"!
So good to hear your point of view. Thanks. 😊
Can you recomend some good chill restaurants, preferably in or near parks or other Nice areas? Doesnt have to be IN Hamborg but like in and around? Also any Nice cafés?
@@emilielarsen3862I can recommend you the „Coffee to fly“ Café near the Airport. You can enjoy your drink there while seeing the airplanes 😄
Hamburg is my favorite city in Germany. I love the North, my second is Kiel, i live there for six years and i have a lot of friends almost there.
For night life I prefer the "Schanze" over the Reeperbahn. The Schanzenviertel has become way more interesting in regards to bars, pubs and restaurants or just partying in general. And arguable safer.
Schanzenviertel. Great place for clubbing in all meanings of the word.
Never had problems on (!;-)) the Reeperbahn tho. I mean there certainly are some corners you shouldnt go and pick a fight for it's owned by the Mafia - but If you're not that guy who start fights with heavily packed and tatooed 2m guys who look like they will eat you for breakfast then you shouldnt run into problems 😁
had no problem in Reeperbahn in terms of Safety.
Something you guys missed.
Hamburg is the largest trading place for Coffee and Oriental Rugs in the World.
When you do your food video, go to the Gänse Markt and check out the Stadtbäckerei.
Fishmarket at 5am is a must, if you can get up that early.
MiniaturWonderland is obviously a must as well.
As for Halftimber houses, Deana just needs to go a bit further north, where those are rather common.
Even the S-Bahn takes you to the Halftimber houses: www.hamburg.de/highlights-der-metropolregion-hamburg/3242/altes-land/ Attention - please note the construction site information on: www.s-bahn-hamburg.de :)
Also Party scene, Techno Scene, Street Art scene, Hafenstr. and the left past of Hamburg.
You cant have everything in a video hamburg is way to awesome and intresting
@@xMakotox777 Or you visit Blankenese and avoid the Linke
@@MBrieger Most disgusting area in Hamburg. Full of snops and "Jeder ist seines eigenes Glückes Schmied" Idioten ;)
@@xMakotox777 Na, na. My first Girlfriend lived there.
it's not windy there, it is only wind when the sheep have no more lures
You must be from the North! 😬
The difference between Summer and Winter in Hamburg is the way the rain falls. Either straight down or from the side.
My grandpa was used to say this ❤️
@@namenlos2459 In the mid 90's we had a great fashion industry in Hamburg and I was (in a different profession) flying between Hamburg and Milan. There were some really hot women on those flights.
Its only rain, when the fish are swimming at eye level :D
Wusstet ihr das es in Hamburg mehr Brücken lass in Venedig gibt
Es gibt viele Städte die mehr Brücken als Venedig haben. Venedig (zumindest die Insel auf der so gut wie alle Brücken sind) ist nämlich winzig im Vergleich zu Hamburg, Berlin oder Amsterdam.
@@steffin.780 Ja gut, aber Hamburg hat auch mehr Brücken als Venedig, Amsterdam und London zusammen.
unglaublich! Hamburg hat auch viel mehr Autos als Venedig!!1
@@doubleT84 jepp, official the most bridges in the world, and it the second biggest cemetry in the world ^^
Keine Kunst. Hat Berlin och. Venedig kann nicht viel Brücken haben 😅
As someone seeking job opportunities around Germany, this video definitely changed my perspective about Hamburg. I could see myself potentially living there :)
It's pretty beautiful! But also on the more expensive side.
@@DeanaandPhil Nobody expresses his feelings toward Hamburg more beautiful than Lotto King Karl with his song "Hamburg meine Perle" (and yes, there will be better times for HSV!): ua-cam.com/video/NByMO8-c8ic/v-deo.html
Der Wohnungsmarkt in Hamburg ist extrem schwierig aber warum nicht versuch dein Glück :)
@@leonmiguel5926 Hatte 2001 das Glück, gleich im ersten Versuch an meine Wohnung (ohne andere Interessenten) zu kommen. Zentrale Lage in Eilbek, alles vor der Haustür, hier wohne ich noch heute. Da muß irgendwie das Schicksal mitgeholfen haben, normalerweise kleben in Hamburg die Leute sogar Wohnungsgesuche an die Ampel. Hab mir vor ein paar Jahren in Reinbek (außerhalb der Stadtgrenze) eine Wohnung über einen Makler angesehen- die Leute standen von der Straße bis in den dritten Stock Schlange...
@@janpracht6662 2001!? das war vor dem Teuero, die schöne Zeiten wo die Wölfe und Schafe zusammen ins Bett gingen, das hat sich alles leider nah Kriminell artig geändert
Yes. My hometown! Most beautiful city in Germany. Forget Bavaria, come to the north! 😊
Genau so und außerdem hat Hamburg so viel mehr zu bieten. MfG
but the north is only for strong people
Bavaria is not Germany :D
Also Hamburg ist schön aber in Bayern die Alpen und die seen sind atemberaubend
bavaria is too good to be german
No doubt, the most beautiful city in Germany with more bridges than Amsterdam and Venice combined. I truly am a very proud Hamburger! ❤️
Ich auch! ;-)
Me too!
Are you edible?
great video, guys! I live in Hamburg since 2018 and it is a reeeeeaaally good summarize about our wonderful city. You also include Blankenese, love it!
You are right, there are not many grocery stores in the city center. Not many people live there, there are mainly offices and stores. But you will find that other parts of the city have much to offer (including grocery stores): Altona, Ottensen, Barmbek, Eimsbüttel, Eppendorf, Winterhude, ... each quarter has its own charm.
And don't forget the many parks: Planten un Blomen, Stadtpark (with the planetarium), Volkspark, Jenisch Park, Ohlsdorfer Friedhof (large areas are designed as parks), ...
Hamburg has something to offer for many years to explore. And then there are the suburbs and places in short distance (Lübeck, Lüneburger Heide, Altes Kand, Stade, Kiekeberg, ...).
Thanks for this great video about my city! It's nice to hear that you love Hamburg that much. I'm 22 years old now, I was born in Hamburg, I still live here and I don't think that I'll ever live in any other city because for me, Hamburg is the most beautiful city in the world! Beautiful, rough and nordic! I love it!
This seems to be a very charming city, I hope I can visit sometime in the future when all this is over. Seeing and sharing places like this is why I love traveling and make videos so much!
Lovely video. Small corrections though, what you refer to as the Hafen City is actually the Speicherstadt. Hafen city is the glass and aluminium part three blocks away. The cost real estate is so high that a normal supermarket cannot afford the rent and stay profitable, ergo no supermarkets. Also, not a lot of people actually live in the city centre or Speicherstadt. As many have suggested, go out from the centre, 2 - 3 U-bahn stations away to feel the real Hamburg where we live, go to Eppendorf, Eimsbüttel and bit further away, Wintehude and co. Lots of normal shops and people there. We locals often leave the city centre to tourists on the weekends unless we have guests. Once important fact, Munich has more rainy days than us, only the reputation of HH weather is bad - must have been someone from M who dreamt that up!! We also have the best Weisswurst in Germany, according to Focus :)!
I don't know if you remember my comments about my exchange year but I finally know that I'm going to Hamburg! It was nice seeing a video of you guys pop up when I just learned it. Thanks so much for your content.
I loved it there in Hamburg when I was in Germany - (Graduation present / Urlaub) - 39 years ago! Hamburg is one of my most favorite places in Deutschland. Such a beautiful city. Your video brought to mind so many happy memories of my week there... St. Michaelis [Michel], the Gänse Markt, boat tour of the harbour, the Elbe und the Alster, and of course the Reeperbahn, Herbertstrasse. The Reeperbahn just blew my mind!! Never had I encountered such a thing before.
You should have walked around the Außenalster, and walk in Planten un Blomen etc.
Wobei Planten un Blomen in der warmen Jahreszeit zusätzlich noch mit Wasserlichtorgelkonzerten punkten kann.
@@Astrofrank Du wieder 😂 ja die Wasserspiele im Sommer sind cool. Ich weiß garnicht, ob sie dieses Jahr wegen Corona stattgefunden haben 🤔
@@1Jasmin Haben sie nicht, aber vielleicht gibt es sie 2021 wieder.
I'm from Goslar, lived 10 years in Hamburg and now in chicago. Hamburg was nice.
How do you like Chicago? :)
You moved from one windy city to another windy city!
@@potatophil8432 normally it is pretty cool. This year not so much, coronavirus and riots destroy all the fun :( I moved here in 2016 and had some nice and fun times. Regarding to Hamburg, keep in mind that it is a very expensive city. Finding an apartment was hell in 2011, don't know how it is now though.
@@DeanaandPhil haha, yes, that was what I thought as well. Right now I miss germany a lot, because I can't go back home right now because of immigration restrictions in the USA :( your videos cheer me up. Thanks guys.
Gruß aus dem Harz...
Regarding that 10 Euro Krabbenbrötchen... While 10 Euro seem appropriate for the amount of Krabben, to me Brücke 10 and all the restaurants at the Landungsbrücken are quite the tourist traps.
Die "frischen" Krabben waren immerhin schon in Marokko zum Puhlen.
The Block Bräu at the Landungsbrücken is not a tourist trap.
@@jorgsyring9464 I meant those at the "Anleger"
Im so happy you guys made this video i was waiting for this! I kept commenting go visit hamburg 😂😂 and finally.. i used to live in hamburg and i havent been to many cities in germany but i really love hamburg i think its beautiful and so nice in the summer you guys definitely should have visited planten um blumen its so beautiful there and yeah i love hamburgs vibe also sternschanze very cool area with lots of bars and restaurants
So excited for this video!! I'm still the same Rebecca, just with a new pfp! I was able to visit my boyfriend a month ago again in Hamburg!! Thanks for the video ❤️❤️
Yes, I have been to Hamburg back in 2019 and I enjoyed it. I visited all the places that you have shown in the video. it was amazing to trip northern Germany.
Hamburg is great. Probably is the most beautiful city in Germany.
This comment is not Prussian confirmed!
Ich war mal da, das Wetter war unter aller Sau (kalt, horizontaler Regen, grau in grau), und ich kam aus dem Staunen nicht raus: wie schafft es eine Stadt, selbst bei diesem Wetter so unglaublich schön, so besonders, so unwiderstehlich zu sein? Ich verstehe jeden Hamburger, der da nie weg will.
@@agnes15101968 ...das dürfte wohl nur für ein paar Bezirke gelten und nicht für alle, wie in jeder anderen Stadt auch. Beruflich ein paar Jahre in Billstedt + das Wetter und du willst nur noch weg. ^^
Türlich Digga und das Wetter ist immer schön.
Not probably, definitely!
I love that you are sharing these experiences traveling to the different cities in Germany. As a child and teenager I would travel with my Mother and it would be to visit just family. I do think That if we would of traveled to many areas it would of given me more of appreciation of my German heritage.
I am a "Northener" and I will definitely stick to that until the end of my days.
The similarity to Scandinavia is not only obvious when you look at the buildings but also when you deal with the people: Straight, calm, discreet, tolerant, mostly honest and almost no corruption.
In addition Hamburg is a big melting pot of people from other nations since generations because of the harbour so we are very used of foreign influences, cultures and subcultures.
Of course it isn't pure paradise but I think one of the best places to be like you always wanted to be.
So nice you went to Blankenese. Always a favourite activity of mine when I visit.
We have family in Hamburg and find it a very clean city. Lots to see. The weather is nicer in the summer. Saw lots of familiar sites. I think if you were a bit out of the city centre you would see more grocery stores and other eating type things. We just found Hamburg a friendly easy to get around type of place
Very true! :)
What's the weather like in winter? Does it snow? Lots of rain and wind? (I'm from the US, asking out of curiosity.)
@@MichaelAlthauser January, February and March there is a lot of snow in Hamburg.
Since I can't find a comment about this topic: I hope, you are not disappointed by the price- performance ratio of the Krabbenbrötchen. Usually they are not that expensive. They are because of COVID. They get peeled im factories in Morocco, that are forced to close or to reduce their capacities, so the small crabs are very rare these days.
Are they not fished locally?
@@greenknitter yes, fished locally, but peeled in Morocco, because it would be to expensive in Germany.
They have to be peeled by hand. Most people don't want to do that, because it needs some practice, takes a lot of time and in the end you'll have more (stinky) waste than crabs. Unpeeled they are much more cheaper.
I loooove Nordseekrabben but it is so much work peeling them. Half an hour peeling gets you only a hand full. Makes you appreciate food a lot more 😅
@@Jonas-nn7pf So shipped to Morocco from Germany and then back again. Very climate friendly lol
Endlich mal im Norden :) Hier kann man schnell in Fettnäppchen treten wenn man mit Süddeutscher offener Mentalität in die Stadt geht. :D :D Flach, Schön, Nordisch. Bei uns ist erst Wind wenn die Schaafe auf dem Deich keine Locken mehr haben :) Daumen hoch!
Nein man kann als Süddeutscher nicht in Fettnäpfchen treten. Gibt keine Fettnäpfchen außer, Preußen zu sagen, da es erstens abfällig ist und zweitens Hamburger nie Preußen waren, es also faktisch falsch ist.
So oder so sehe ich kaum einen Unterschied innerhalb Deutschlands außer, dass die Leute in Berlin, die 40+ sind teilweise vielleicht etwas anders sind.
Dieses ganze "Nordisch" Gedöns ist auch reichlich übertrieben und überbewertet.
@@henningbartels6245 dann bitte mal nach Ostholstein kommen, da gibt es das 'Gedöns' noch😂.
@@katjah.7405 Oha?! Da ist es also flach und mit Schafen auf'm Deich. Ich hab Holstein ganz schön hügelig in Erinnerung und wenig Deiche.

Aha Schafe iner Stadt
finallyyy!!! I've been waiting for a Hamburg Vlog
Hope it didn't disappoint! :)
@@DeanaandPhil War super toll! Danke
Hamburg looks soo great! I've actually been meaning to go there for ages but never went. Maybe I'll go there next year because you guys actually inspired me to finally plan a trip to Hamburg :) I would suggest that you check out Aachen because the atmosphere of the "Dreiländereck" makes it really special. Aachen feels more like a European city rather than a German city with all the Dutch and Belgian influences. Also, it doesn't take long to get to the Eifel, so you can decide whether you feel like going on a hike or enjoying the busy old town of the city etc. If you go there, you should definitely eat some "Printen" and "Streuselbrötchen"! :D
I lived there a few years, coming from Chicago USA. I absolutely loved it! Funny, it had many similarities to Chicago -- flat; a port city; multi-ethnic; similar size and population; near a large recreational body of water; wonderful public transportation -- but was far more beautiful. Too bad you had to leave so soon -- you missed out on a LOT of other great things to do and see: the weekend fishmarket; St. Nikolai Kirch; (in season) the Dom; wonderful parks; Planten Blomen; Hamburg Museum. And yes -- there are PLENTY of Doener shops, but they are more numerous in some of the outlying neighborhoods. I do hope you got plenty of good beer, and some of the best bread I've ever had! Glad you enjoyed yourself. Visit again. Tschuss!
This was an amazing video. I think Hamburg might be the most beautiful city. I’ve never been but I have a friend who lived there for a couple years while she was at uni.
Thanks so much Sydney! It's definitely a beautiful city!
Hey! Big fan from India planning to pursue masters in Germany.
I love that you guys have started making vlogs/ videos on cities on Germany! Amazing to see it while i'm stuck at home haha
Ich bin aus Franken und besuche regelmäßig meine Verwandtschaft in Hamburg, Rendsburg und Ratzeburg. Hamburg ist für mich eine der schönsten Städte. Ich bin jedes mal wieder begeistert.
In Hamburg you should have to visit the Miniaturbild Wunderland. This museum gets more visitors a year then the Schloss Neuschwanstein. It’s a model train museum representing many different countries. My most favorite tourist sight in Hamburg.
The Miniatur Wunderland is really wonderful, not only for model railway fans. The model makers like details and add funny easter eggs. One section of the largest model railway in the world is the largest model airport in the world.
As a German northener myself, i actually live even farther north, Hamburg is my favourite city here in germany. Im in my mid 30`s and basically went to every major city apart from the south.
I love Hamburg and have alot of very fond memories within this city.
Finally :) But I guess to find places to live you might need to come a second time. There are such nice neighbourhoods in Winterhude, Eimbsbüttel, Ottensen, Eppendorf.......
I nearly live in Hamburg. In a small town in Schleswig-Holstein. Before I lived in a small village in NRW 😅 it's new but I absolutely love this city (except the traffic).
Hamburg is the best German city! I agree northern Germans tend to be more direct and that was a bit of a culture shock for me when I started dating my husband who is from northern Germany. I appreciate it more now... you never have to wonder what they’re really thinking! 😆
Me being from a little north of Hamburg, my american Michigan wife had a tough time adjusting to that rather blunt honestly.
And it is not only about being honest, it is about what is implied in a conversation. People in northern Germany do not talk a lot. They know what the other one means and the implications.
The further you get to the coast, the more withdrawn people are. They are not unfriendly, they just have other preferences. You can sit in a Bar and whilst it is full, it is completely quiet. Not even a radio. But when there is a conversation, it is to the point. And most of the time, there is simply no need to argue that.
I love it. There is never second guessing, there is no uncertainty. There is never a wasted word.

@natalie storm See, our charm is unbeatable
4:35 bottom left. I lived in that building (black roof, red bricks) for almost 11 years until january 2020. Also to find supermarkets you had to venture a bit away from the Elbe into the blocks. There were several supermarkets not too far of your position where you told us about that.
I'm talking about the residents now: So, Berlin.. you can forget!..Munich is ok.. but Hamburg...the people may be a little reserved,... but so nice....
Munich is snobby and the people too interested in money and status and what car you drive. Same in Stuttgart. Give me Berlin or anywhere in the East any day. Never been to Hamburg.
I've been all over Germany. Yes I've found people from Munich a bit snobby compared to the rest of Germany, People from Hamburg may seem reserved.but if you get to know them they can be friends for life. As in my case. Also friendly and down to earth people in Nurnberg.
Next time when you’re in Hamburg I would recommend to also walk along the Außenalster :-) Winterhude, Harvestehude,...
Yes the Außenalster is so beautiful. Especially when the sun shines and everything is still green or the leafs starting to get red.
Even better is sailing on the Aussenalster, you can even hire boats with a skipper.
shout out from north carolina. love you guys ! hamburg rocks !
I live in Eimsbüttel and I just said it's awesome! It's like a small city inside big city. Not too much expensive and a lot of local small business. I'm happy here.
Been to Hamburg for a concert with my son a few years ago and we did the harbor boat tour. River Elbe sure looks different there than in our home town Magdeburg.
Beautiful city. I've been lucky enough to visit many places in Bavaria and southern Germany a couple of times, but have not been farther north than Bonn. Wonderful to see northern Germany. My doctor is from Northern Germany. :) His accent reminds me of you Phil!
Hamburg is my second favorite city in Germany. My most favorite is Lübeck. On third place are tied Dresden and Leipzig. Erfurt is nice as well and another one worth visiting in the north is Wismar.
Edit: you should go to Hamburg in May for the Harbor Anniversary and combine it with a visit to "Planten en Bloomen"
In the city center are actually two DM's and also Budni and Rossmann and in the Europa Passage are super markets. You can also walk down St. Georg and the Außenalster and find some supermarkets.
11:35 I agree. As a Swede from Scania (Skåne) I find much similarities between Hamburg and Malmö. Very much of the building styles, the red bricks and also the whole maritime atmosphere are just like Malmö. So I feel home. (Of course it is rather close and we were much influenced by Germany.) The red brick houses are extremely common here in south Sweden, but somewhat less further north, where wooden houses play a greater role, for obvious reasons.
So beautiful thanks for sharing my friend
I lived in Hamburg for just over 2 years. Grew up in North Germany half way between Hamburg and the Danish border. Loved living there. I think it's the most cosmopolitan city in Germany. You have everything from culture to cuisine. Great place
I've spent many shopping days with my friends in Hamburg as a teen. Never actually explored the city though... I should definitely do that! 😄 Can't wait for the food video 😍 i love Franzbrötchen 🤤
There is nothing better than starting the weekend with a fresh Franzbrötchen and a Milchkaffee!
Too bad i can't get them in Austria :( but i made them myself once... They were okay :'D
@@annag.87 The origin of Franzbrötchen is still unknown. Probably Napoleon (the French troops occupied Hamburg from 1806-1814) brought them to Hamburg. My favourite Franzbrötchen is with chocolate on top.
I really like your travel videos 👍🏼
You should definitely check out Hannover. Such a beautiful city. Full of nice architecture, places and water. And they have one of the biggest forrests within a city in europe.
I was in Hanover once briefly, for a stop over, a long time ago. I was impressed with the downtown. So walkable.
I lived in Hamburg for 10 years and it is truly an amazing city. More to see than you saw! It's a city with streets lined with trees, unusual for European cities. Lübeck is nice too.
I love watching your trips.
Nice to see Hamburg today, where I lived 11 years and went to school after the war.
Hey there 🤗 I‘m a german Student from a small City near by Hamburg and it‘s verry funny to hear you two talking English and then him bringing german words in 😂 love your Videos
Thanks a lot! =)
Nice to see you also went to Bavarian Hamburg (the bit to the south of the Elbe). You may have missed out on Bergedorf, but we like to keep that exclusive :P
My birthtown! Happy to see you here : D
was stationed in north Germany, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Cuxhaven, it was always windy, on and off shore breezes daily,
Bis jetzt bin ich nur einmal in Hamburg gewesen. Sehr schöne Stadt - hat mir gut gefallen. 👍🏻 Ich liebe eure Videos, und Deana hat die schönsten Haare, die ich je gesehen habe!! 😍
Really enjoyed the video. I would love to visit hamburg one day!
I think you should keep this series going. Select the top three towns and make a return trip there. Then look at apartments and grocery stores there.
Nice to see my hometown again.
I had a similar experience. The last time I was there was in 2006 with my girlfriend from Catalonia. We visited the Michel, the Potugese quarter and the Speicherstadt. Then we went to a few bars on the Kiez. Everything was good and the mood was very good. We played billiards in a bar and the time passed quickly. When we came out it was about 1am and the mood was completely different. Everyone was super aggressive and drunk and there were empty bottles everywhere. We rushed to the car before anyone started a fight. But I still like Hamburg and northern Germany better than the south.
First impression; I love it. Looks great to me!
We had geat first impressions of this city!
Wow! Hamburg is soo pretty!
As I am living in Hamburg: Thank you for the flattery. Better value for shrimp roll (and great fish & chips): Daniel Wischer at Steindamm. At the church Michel: The crypt would have been a great experience! As you have only been at the areas near the harbour you missed out on areas where people actually live and where most of the shops and boutiques are... So: an opportunity to come back...
The "basket" in St Michaelis is called Kanzel
Yes and there are many churches that have it
...or pulpit in english 😉
I live in the Deichstrasse (Hamburg Mitte area). There are several grocery shops near my apartament but there are definitely less than in other areas.
You should go to Görlitz. There's a complete medieval city and the oldest and most beautiful department store in Germany, maybe some people know this as "The Grand Budapest Hotel".
Görlitz is also the most eastern City of Germany, with a mark of the 15. meridian.
Rents in the central area are horrendous, so shops can't afford them unless they make serious profits. Once you get outside the center you'll find the shops you're looking for.
Last time i visit Hamburg, there where some super markets in the shoping malls right at the Jungfernstieg. Are they gone now?
@@WilhelmImperatorRex no they are still there actually
@@WilhelmImperatorRex The department stores downtown have groceries.
Wow Hamburg looks awesome! Planning a trip there for next week, so definitely going to use some of your tips 🤗
You will love it! Hope the weather will be good! :)
Bad weather in Hamburg only exists when the sheep no longer have curls :)
I live in Hamburg..nice video. But next time you should do an alternative tour of Hamburg by bike. And not in the city center and the usual sights.
Elbstrand, Gängeviertel, Sternschanze and Karoviertel, paddling through the canals, Dockland, Planten un Blomen, Wilhelmsburg, before it is overrun by hipsters, visit a club in the Kiez and so much more, because that's where Hamburg gets interesting :)
@@ronaldmenge2542 I totally agree. Hamburg has more Bridges than Venice. Take a tour with one of the Alsterships.
Agree with ronald menge. Try to hook up with “ Hamburger Stadtrad”. It’s 5€ for registration ( for 2 persons you need only one account). Then you can ride the bike for the first 1/2 hour for free. But here comes the twist: The 1/2 hour starts again if you park the bike at one of the hundred something bike station and re-rent the same bike again. You can explore the city easily and cheap.
very nice you guys do those trips, I like to visit cities in Germany but... where do I go.... what can I see there.... you both give a good peek what is going on in Hamburg, and I like that city already. are there really old towns in Germany where one can find medieval type of buildings etc. do find out, go there and make a video about it I can't wait. and have fun doing that
Try Lübeck! It's close to the Baltic See and still near the big city Hamburg. It has very old architecture and history.
You have not experienced Hamburg until you are on the Reeperbahn on a Friday or Saturday night. (pre-corona, nearly every night is an interesting one. Hopefully we get that back again)
I liked the centralstation there when I had the last train change when going from Stockholm to Berlin (with a stop in Copenhagen) last summer. I kind of wished I seen more. As for the brick architecture reminding of other citys around the baltic sea, it is possibly the Hansatic Leauge influences so you can see likenesses all around the baltic sea (Stockholm, Tallinn is the ones that comes to mind for me) but maybe not because Copenhagen also have some of that.
You might very well be right about that! We haven't looked into it too much! :)
Well, and old Hamburg burnt down during the "big fire". So there is very little architecture left from before 1842.
Also ich bin hier so aufgewachsen und erzogen worden, dass wir wirklich jeden zu grüßen haben. Selbst die Enten am Wegesrand mit einem freundlichen Moin Moin xD. Ich wurde in anderen City's dafür schon sehr merkwürdig beäugt. Ich hoffe es hat euch dennoch gefallen!
Oh man da schnackst du echt viel. Bei uns reicht ein Moin aus;-)
Wo ich wohne, ist "moin moin" schon geschwätzig 😜
@@peterrabbitn787 stimmt, Moin Moin ist Gesabbel !
If you are in northern Germany, maybe a visit to Cuxhaven. I was just there for a few days. A very lovely town, but I'm sure it is more desirable in the summer (also more crowded).
The grocery stores downtown are in the underground or in side streets ... even food stores or coffee shops are partly hidden, so good to ask a local people for hottest places to go 👍🏻😜
I’m still waiting for you to visit Stüttgart! Is it on your list to check out for future living cities?
Hamburg is good during in the warmer period of the year. In fall and winter it could be windy and gray, indeed. Well, though Berlin could have harsh cold winds in winter. The Speicherstadt (the old part of the harbor; while Hafencity is the new addition) is nice in the evening, because the old storage buildings are well illuminated. This area is lacking bar and restaurant, though it's pretty for a stroll after sunset. The same applies for the Reeperbahn. It looks dirty and shabby during the daytime, but almost magical when the lights of the night turn on. Try to eat Stint (small fishs of the salmon family) when in saison in spring or a Hamburger Aalsuppe (eel soup Hamburg style with dried fruits in it).
I've been to Hamburg 5 times, basically on every trip I've made to Europe except the first visit I had there. I love Hamburg and the surrounding suburban towns like Wedel, Borgedorf, and Rellingen. I can hardly wait to travel again next summer and visit all my favorite people in the world---the Germans!
Wow, that is nice to hear. Where are you from? I have been to Hamburg twice and loved it, but I love all of Germany. Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Munich, Cologne, Stuttgart, Heidelberg, Freiburg and the Ostsee. My wife is German but we live in Switzerland, which I totally enjoy after leaving America 33 years ago, for Zurich. I love being here in Switzerland and driving quickly to France, Italy, Austria, and Germany. Wonderful countries and wonderful neighbors surrounding Switzerland.
There is a Penny in the middle of the Reeperbahn and an Edeka in the Hafencity. Rewe directly in the main train station.
and a big rewe in the europapassage at the binnenalster
Ea wäre voll cool, wenn ihr mal durch das Ruhrgebiet reist (Duisburg, Essen, Bochum, Dortmund,...). Da gibt es auch voll Historie und moderne Gebäude
My favorite German cities are Berlin and Hamburg. I love the proximity to the water and excellent seafood in Hamburg. Also the people in Hamburg speak German in the same accent/dialect I learned in school, so it was easy for me to have conversations auf Deutsch there. Hamburgers are friendly, but the city is surrounded by less friendly towns and cities (Bremen, Münster, Hanover) in that northern area where the people are more distant and cold. Hamburg weather and waterfront reminds me of Seattle. A few nights out am Reeperbahn is enough and then the novelty of it wears off.
Berlin, of course, being a large city is more of a Gotham City type of vibe, with a dark, edgy energy reverberating from its traumatic past. As someone who grew up in New York, I really dig the whole Berlin scene, the various neighborhoods, night life, easy public transportation, and diversity of people. I found it difficult to speak German in Berlin because every time I spoke Deutsch they responded in Englisch. It was fine with me but I found it interesting how eager Berliners were to practice their English.
Thank.you for this one guys. I have some Hamburger roots, but never visited the city myself. I now know why I was told it is like a bigger, more responsible sister, to Amsterdam.
Now I know I have to visit (although, no supermarkets or DMs? Hmmm... need to think this through 🙃)
The red brick warehouses remind me of very similar buildings in Hull, with whom Hamburg has a close shared history...you should visit!
I hope you enjoyed my lovely hometown 😍😍😍 it’s a nice city to stay 😉 and we have a lot of supermarkets 😂 Hopefully you will live here. Best regards from Hamburg
Live, not life.
The "speaking platform" in the church is called a pulpit. In most older churches the pulpit is elevated.
Hi you guys, In your video Humburg is so huge and beautiful City. Hopefully I can be there someday. Thank you guys.
And one small scene is so interested when you guys in Hamburg and enjoy Vietnamese food ^^. Come to Vietnam you will have totally different experience.
My uncle lives in Hamburg with his wife. They wanted to move to Blankenese maybe 6 years ago but as they saw how expensive it is compared to other parts of Hamburg they said even tho its noisy they preffer to stay near the main train station area haha because they said for the price you buy an apartment in blankenese you can get a house in most other parts of Germany
Yes. We weren't even aware of that but then we heard about it and wanted to check it out. It's definitely nice and a bit less hectic than the city. But I'm not sure if that warrants the prices. :D
Hamburg is a great city lived there in the 70s always something to do and the food is good .
