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....

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!

[@mtgreengarden]

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.

[@peterrabbitn787]

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

[@greenknitter]

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.

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.

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.

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, ...).

[@promeetnag]

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 :)!

[@LuriTV]

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.

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 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 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!

[@svergurd3873]

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.

[@hikingcook]

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...

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 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.

I can hardly wait to travel again next summer and visit all my favorite people in the world---the Germans!

[@davidbalmer473]

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.

[@inotoni6148]

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.

[@1Jasmin]

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.

[@aldrinmz1]

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.

[@saratemp790]

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.

[@thanhtrinhthi9640]

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.

[@ACEsParkJunheeWreckedMeHard]

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

[@DeanaandPhil]

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

[@KrautsalatAnAmericaninGermany]

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)

[@JanetTurner-ff6zk]

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.

[@rayray_bee]

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! 😆

[@MBrieger]

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.

The "speaking platform" in the church is called a pulpit. In most older churches the pulpit is elevated.

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.

[@henningbartels6245]

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).

[@zanderalex2463]

Maybe you didn't even look at the most beautiful parts? I can recommend to turn once by bike or on foot a round around the Außenalster - wonderful! Great also the Elbstrand to Blankenese and Blankenese itself, the Schanze and he Kiez to party and Winterhude and EWppendorf to go out to eat. If you have a lot of time, you should go by bike the Alstertal out - at least to the Locks. Fantastic! In Hamburg you always stay in the green and on the water if you want. Even the largest inner-city moor is right in the center (Eppendorfer Moor) and even the huge Ohlsdorfer cemetery is a beautiful place. There is also a beautiful dune landscape (Boberger Dünen). Hamburg is very cool!

[@wdinns]

was stationed in north Germany, Bremen, Bremerhaven, Cuxhaven, it was always windy, on and off shore breezes daily,

[@Thalon2]

There is a Penny in the middle of the Reeperbahn and an Edeka in the Hafencity. Rewe directly in the main train station.

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

[@Efunzo]

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.

[@saratemp790]

I was in Hanover once briefly, for a stop over, a long time ago. I was impressed with the downtown. So walkable.

[@gloriastone3211]

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!

[@TheTasmoe]

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 👍🏻😜

[@khecke]

Nice to see Hamburg today, where I lived 11 years and went to school after the war.

[@christopheryoung3850]

I maybe biased, as I have friends who live in Hamburg, but it is definitely one of my favourite cities to visit in Germany.

[@andreasth3r3b3ll3]

Hamburg, best City in Germany, and i say that as a Rhineland-Palatine. They are nice, they help you, they have the see, they have a Casino and a Park inside the City. Marvelous. Only one thing disturbs me, the thousands of Musicals played there ;) I don´t want to visit, but with my wife i´m always in danger there :)

[@lnorris5142]

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).

[@lliving4today]

The red brick warehouses remind me of very similar buildings in Hull, with whom Hamburg has a close shared history...you should visit!

[@olafwohltjen3087]

Hamburg ist eine wirklich schöne und interessante Stadt. In der wilden Sturm und Drang Zeit viele schöne Wochenenden dort verbracht. Reeperbahn nur bei Nacht bitte! Alsterfest ein Muss und auch der Dom ( Rummel ) . Hafencity u auch der große Friedhof Ohlsdorf ,ja Friedhof, ist sehenswert. Es gibt Führungen. Wetter ist in Hamburg besser als sein Ruf 😉😅.

[@TheFoundnoname]

I'm from Lübeck (beautiful small city) and live in Hamburg, but visited nearly every "bigger" city in Germany. The wether in the north isn't for everyone, I get that, but I am very connected to the nothern lifestyle thats why I want to stay in Hamburg. But for the best city to live in in Germany I nominate Heidelberg (with Bamberg coming in 2nd place).

[@Thalon2]

At 9:47 you were at the building were I work. I live outside Hamburg but work in the city when I am not in HomeOffice like in the moment...

[@danihesslinger7968]

You missed out on most of it :-) You should have gone to the "Fabrik" "factory") for a live concert at night, to the many art museums, to Pöseldorf;and so much more. AND getting up early to the "fishmarket" for fish auctions and fun. BUT I like Bremen more!

You were mostly in the harbor area and the inner city, i think the cool Schanzenviertel or Caroviertel would have been a better fit. Still, nice choice of sights, and really beautiful shots!

its funny that every time you mentioned not finding any supermarkets I would have been able to direct you to multiple ones in walking distance 😂 Although it is true, that you find more of them in areas that are more filled with living quarters, not office spaces and shops. Visiting the "Kiez" or the "Schanze" during the day does not give you the best impression. You need to come back at night especially in the summer, wenn you get bonus night market and bars exploding outside. One thing I really love about Hamburg is how much green you have almost everywhere. You are never really far away from a park or water (with Elbe, Bille and Alster you have 3 rivers and all those little bonus canals and we are close enough to the northern sea that the Elbe is effected by the tides). And you also a wild mix of people and places. The church and musical next to the sex shop and the police station. The millionaire next to the drag queen and the old fisherman. the old brick warehouses and old maritime buildings next to modern architecture. It all comes together.

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

* If you want reasonably priced shrimp you need to go to one of those shrimp trawlers that sell them right off the boat. Some fish markets have them fresh too. You have to peel them yourself, but that's not difficult * That police station is probably the most famous one in Germany. Just from the name being well known * Brick is also common in the Netherlands, Belgium and along the Baltic coast. The reason being that there is a lack of stone to quarry in the north and shipping stone up the rivers was expensive. Also the general influence of the Hanseatic League. The style is called Brick Gothic.

[@TimWil]

Hah, you made it up there! You guys are the best. I was in Hamburg last October. Not my favorite German city (Berlin and Munich are tied for that honor). And now I’m off to Five Guys-why do I feel a need to go off to Five Guys after watching your videos? I will admit I do miss the cherry franzbrötchen at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof-and the Reeperbahn was definitely unique. It makes Times Square at its worst look like a country village!

[@Laserfrankie]

I'm living at the North Sea coast. What you called "strong wind" there, is actually just a soft breeze ;-) Hamburg isn't even located at the coast, it's already more than a hundred kilometers inland. About the weather: If it would be bad in Northern Germany, millions of tourists wouldn't go there every year ;-) We usually have mild, not too hot summers, but also mild winters. There is actually not more rain or bad weather than in most parts of Germany, that's just a myth. I love the north because of the sea air and the wide, open landscape. Whenever I travel south in Germany, I feel kinda constricted very quickly. Personally, I prefer smaller cities from 50,000 to 100,000 inhabitants. But if I would HAVE to move into a big city, I'd choose Hamburg. It's the only city in Germany (except for Berlin) that can call itself "Weltstadt" in my opinion, because of its openness, tolerance, international flair, and its tradition as a trading hub for many hundred years. I once had a friend from Catalonia who stayed in Hamburg for a year, and he said something like, "If Berlin is to Germany what Madrid is to Spain, then Hamburg is Germany's Barcelona - smaller, but much more attractive" ;-)

[@redbanlovesasians2236]

Yes, to me looks like the perfect mix between "a big city that doesn't feel like a megalopolis", the best of both worlds.

[@michaelwahlich7256]

[@tomzito2585]

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.
