Hamburg sights: Top 30

Hamburg History Museum

Tours in Hamburg, which undoubtedly go through the main museum of the city, very often forget about the outstanding importance of this place. The museum, which vividly demonstrates the course of Hamburg's historical development, is filled with exhibits whose rarity rivals the elements of an exhibition in the oldest museum in Europe. German sights very rarely have their own, exciting history, however, the museum in Hamburg is not concerned with this. For example, the life of the great pirate Klaus Stertebeker was cut short in these parts. The skull of the famous historical character is still in the museum. It is said that when the pirate was about to be executed, he appealed to the mayor of the town. The gist of the request was that if the headless pirate passed by several pirate prisoners, they would be released. However, the arrogant lord of the city did not keep his promise, and Sturtebecker could save 11 people.

International Maritime Museum
The main attractions in Hamburg are briefly characterized as outstanding monuments of past centuries. The International Maritime Museum in Hamburg is a valuable monument in Germany. The museum was opened in the presence of the president of the country in 2008. It is noteworthy that such an outstanding building is located in the structure, which was formerly used as a port warehouse. Surprisingly, the museum complex is divided into decks, each of which shows the guests the historical stages of the development of world shipbuilding, navigation technology, the secrets of marine life and much more. It is well deserved that the rating of the museum is particularly high among visitors to the city.

Hamburg harbour
A strategically important center, Germany's "Gateway to the World," a developed port station - these are the characteristics and reviews of Germany's most popular location - the Port of Hamburg. Historically, it was the Port of Hamburg that was given priority during the development of the German state. For example, the number of bridges in the city surpasses that of Venice. Interesting places in Hamburg are somehow connected with the majestic Elbe. In terms of production capacity of the port, it annually receives hundreds of thousands of merchant ships and tourist liners traveling around the world. The river gate, which combines more than 300 berths, occupies one tenth of the city. The port district of Hamburg, in turn, is divided into several quarters.

Miniature Wonderland
In a heated discussion whose topic is "where to go in Hamburg," the Miniatur Wunderland takes undoubted precedence. The museum, whose distinctive feature is the status of the largest exhibition center with a model of the railroad in the world, will provide the tourist childlike impressionability and emotionality. The Wonderland collection features a huge number of models: trains, cars, architectural structures, railroad elements, and much more. The history of this outstanding Hamburg landmark is quite ordinary. Talented design engineers, the Braun brothers, created a true work of art, the enchanting sight of which fascinates millions of tourists every year.

Hamburg city hall
The sights of Hamburg, whose status is well-deserved (the city is called the "Heart of Northern Germany"), are concentrated in the central part of the city. The city hall, and Hamburg's main historical landmark, is a graceful building with a legendary clock tower at its head. Thanks to the peculiar sky color of its roof, the Hamburg City Hall attracts many visitors.

The most visited Kunsthalle, which means "Exhibition Hall" in German, attracts with an immense collection of masterpieces from past eras. Germany's best sights are undoubtedly to be found here.

The museum's collection is made up of exhibits from the 19th century, but there are also separate halls devoted to modernism.
