One Day Sightseeing B

The nicest and easiest way to explore the Alster is on an Alster tour by Alster steamer. The tour also takes you along the numerous canals where you can admire the splendid villas from their backyard gardens. If you prefer to be on dry land, you can enjoy a city tour.

You’re bound to find an exhibition to suit your taste near the Alster: right next to the station, the Hamburg museum row extends from the Kunsthalle past the Kunstverein and the Museum for Arts and Crafts (Museum for Kunst und Gewerbe) down to the Deichtorhallen!

As far as shopping’s concerned, there’s nothing you can’t buy in the downtown area: no matter whether you prefer to indulge your shopping urge in chic little boutiques, shiny shopping malls or superlative department stores. And culture in the form of impressive office buildings causes you to marvel on almost every corner. Stroll along the Alsterarkaden to the Town Hall, which dominates the city centre with its impressive architecture.
