Living in Hamburg: Tips on the Best Spots from a Local

People in Hamburg seem cold??? I moved to Hamburg 3 years ago and never have I once met anyone "cold" ...people here are very friendly and open minded. I also think the host should of been a real born and bread Hamburger not someone who moved to Hamburg. Also why on earth pay 500 euros for a WG (shared apartment) when you can get a whole nice apartment in Hamburg for 600 Euros. The filming of the video looks nice, but it really doesn't do Hamburg justice. This is a beautiful and charming city which has way much more to offer.This is sort of a perspective from a person who lacks interest in culture, history or art and it might be more suitable for someone who prefers nightlife or more of a younger crowd. I just feel there is so much more to see here than what you are presenting. Terribly disappointed for someone who actually lives in Hamburg :-(. Secondly why on earth would you want to rent a car in Hamburg?? Doesn't make sense whatsoever, I mean have you seen the traffic situation in inner city??...Hamburg has really well connected public transportation so there is really no need to rent a car. Sorry I am actually really cringing watching this video. Why only Altona and Eimsbuttel?? I have no idea. Hamburg Nord and Wandsbek is also nice in terms of finding an apartment. For anyone who wants to visit Hamburg here are some suggestions for attractions: 1.Miniatur Wunderland 2.Chocoversum 3.Mahnmal St. Nikolai ( there is a museum underground) 4.Elbe Tunnel 5.Fischmarkt 6.St Michael's Church 7.A boat tour on the Elbe (but if you purchase a normal day ticket from HVV you can also take the ferry on the Elbe which will save money and you can also see Hamburg from the Water) 8.Highly recommend!!: If you are interested in a walking tour of Hamburg by local Hamburger's and it is free ( contributions is really up to you) here is the link for anyone who is interested (also the tour is given in multiple languages) : - https://www.robinandthetourguides.de/en/ 9. Holsten Brewery: if you like beer.Ratsherrn Brewery and Altes Mädchen is also a good option if you want to try some local Craft beer (Ratsherrn) they also have a restaurant ( Links are below): - http://www.holsten-brauwelt.de/12/home.html - http://ratsherrn.de/en/ - http://en.altes-maedchen.com/altes-maedchen/ 10. If you are in Hamburg there are also a lot of options for Musicals, Theatre and concerts. Notes: When visiting Hamburg I recommend bringing a small foldable umbrella and wind proof jacket along as it rains a lot here. The weather can be quite unpredictable and windy. 11. When in Hamburg why not visit a local Market I have attached a link of the coolest markets in Hamburg below: -https://theculturetrip.com/europe/germany/articles/10-coolest-markets-in-hamburg-germany/ There is still a lot to see in Hamburg and I hope this might be helpful for anyone who is interested in visiting Hamburg. Also for tourists most people in Hamburg can speak fluent english and from my personal experience people here are very patient and will try their best to try to understand and communicate with you :-) so don't be afraid to ask for help or ask questions from locals in Hamburg.

I can't believe she didn't mention the Fish Market ?  Every Sunday morning the Hamburg Fish market is awesome, whether you like fish, seafood or not.

This video is quite nice and educational. Hamburg tourism department needs more videos like this, and should be grateful for your good work and for excellent presentation of Carolin Marks. Pls keep me posted about your next work. Thanks H

Amburgo è la città più bella ed evoluta che abbia mai visto . Ha un fascino unico! E gli amburghesi sono speciali!

The most interesting Area beside and after Sternschanze, St. Pauli and Ottensen is Wilhemsburg. It's changing very fastly and it is extremely diverse.

Hi thanks for the video.I went for a weekend last week to Hamburg with your recommendations and it was fun

I was in Karlsruhe in '87 and wish I had visited Hamburg. Baden Baden is pretty awsome. I miss when the mark rate was 3 to 1. I could get a dinner for 5 bucks. I was support for a bridging company(Army) and would cross the Rhine and step into France. I miss those days terribly the Germans are such beautiful people.

well that was still a lot of standard tourist stuff. She doesn't seem to venture too far out of her usual boundaries. Also the districts to life she mentioned are exclusively for very extrovert and outgoing people that don't have problems with constantly disturbed nighttime peace. Otherwise it can get annoying very fast. Trust me, I've lived in Hamburg-Neustadt for almost 11 years.

Hi There, Thanks for such a nice video. Informative, Much appreciated

fantastic video! we are coming to Hamburg in 3 weeks from Canada. I am worried about the weather in late October... hope we will get lucky and it will be worthwhile to go up to the observation deck at St Michael's!

I'm going to check it love it 🤠

Beautiful Germany ❤

What the heck, flats are "not too expensive"? You only have to get your papers ready? Begging your pardon, but on which planet does Carolin live? Rents have exploded in recent years, lots of indigenous people cannot afford a living where they have grown up anymore, even well-payed employees have difficulties to find an accommodation. Hamburg is a pretty nice place, but does every report have to be 100% feel-good and throw dust in people's eyes? This report (only one of many dealing with this issue) is from 2010, and things have not become better since then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seFFRFIlXHs

Thank you for the information! Boyfriend moved to Hamburg, considering a move or visit. This helped alot!
