What to see in Hamburg in 3 days

A first visit to a city such as Hamburg, where everything is so impressive, can be overwhelming, but with a little organisation it can be a totally memorable experience. In this 3-day Hamburg itinerary, you will find the must-see tourist attractions, both in the historic centre, with buildings such as the Town Hall and the Chilehaus, and in adjoining neighbourhoods that have been transformed from industrial to residential use. Nor should you neglect those areas linked to the port and the hectic business life of this Germany’s second most populous city.

We recommend you take a methodical approach, but also that you leave a little room for unplanned activity, as this will allow you all the time you need to enjoy your favourite attractions. In addition, you need to remember that Hamburg has a buzzing nightlife, so that nights can stretch out for so long that in the early morning, all you’ll want to do is sleep… Are you ready to discover one of Germany’s most fascinating cities?
