Have you been to Hamburg? Thoughts? 🤪

[@KrisKazlauskaite]

I have never been there but in those 4 minutes you completely sold it to me 😀😁 One more city to visit!Thank you for sharing your interesting discoveries !✈️

[@AleSalvino]

​@@KrisKazlauskaite thank you :) Yes indeed it's one of those places that of course Germans know well but us foreign people know very little and weirdly enough it's the 2nd largest city in Germany! 😅

[@ernestojr.svizzera]

Next month for study at KLU.

[@janinedigay-viray4172]

Is it true that everyday, it rains in Hamburg?

[@widget787]

@@janinedigay-viray4172 no. People tend to say it rains so often in Hamburg or even more than elsewhere but in reality it does not rain more or less than elsewhere in this Region of Europe.

Nice video 👍Its a big beautiful city and the People are relaxed and have a easy going vibe its also the most happy big city of Germany. I love this city Dresden is the most beautiful from Germany but Hamburg is more attractive because of the vibe, the harbour the People and the amazing nightlife and cool museums.🙂👍

[@davidslobod5726]

I was able to visit a few years ago and discovered Hamburg has the world’s largest model railroad and model airport. Visit Miniatur Wunderland next time you are there - it’s amazing!

[@AleSalvino]

that's amazing David, thanks for the recommendation!

[@swankybohemia5810]

Such a wonderful place to visit and explore... A great day with cool weather and ambience.. Picturesque scenery and attractive presentation! Thank you so much for showcasing. Have a great day.

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you very much! Have a great weekend ahead :)

[@BlueGamer335]

Ich war schon mehrfach in Hamburg und echt relativ viel unterwegs gewesen. Auch wenn ich viele Ecken und Landmarks erkannt habe, gab es ein paar neue Eindrücke! Wow, Hamburg hat wirklich immer was zu bieten und man kann noch viel erkunden. Einfach super.

[@AleSalvino]

Vielen Dank!

[@petradoglover]

Moin. Thanks a lot for the nice video! Even though Boy now I haven Bern living over 20 year in the city I learned interesting details. Its definitely woth a visit.

[@AleSalvino]

Glad to hear that and hope more people can visit!

[@Abrpatel]

Love the desk setup in the back! The only thing missing is a map on the table and then you're officially Nathen Drake planning your next adventure and then sharing it with us :D Hamburger, Beatles, alot of stuff I didn't know. Kind of reminds me of Amsterdam and Netherlands in general, but also Venice.

[@AleSalvino]

haha thanks Abhi! On the next one I'll try to add the map 🗺️ haha! Indeed so many facts usually unknown about this place but the vibe is exactly what you said 🤪

[@wisonscenestv3069]

I think this is inspiring for people! This is such a great idea~ I Didn't EXPECT This In Hamburg | 5 Things To Know 2022! This beautiful work behind this must be decent! I can see your talent. 👍🏻 👀 👍🏻👍🏻

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you very much, have a great week!

[@widget787]

Amazing Video, thanks! Hamburg is my birthplace and also I do live here. Tourist numbers in Hamburg are very high, but the problem indeed is that the majority of those Tourists come from within Germany, the neighbor countries and then some from Europe. Tourists from overseas exist too but they are only a small group of them all. For some reason Hamburg is not very well known overseas which is a bummer, its the 7th largest City in the EU and more than beautiful. I think the Problem is that Tourists from overseas want to see Lederhosen, Brezel and Beer, the way they know Germany ...

[@AleSalvino]

Thank you so much for the nice words and all the info! Hopefully we can get more tourists from overseas to visit as it's a fascinating city!! 🇩🇪

[@lugomusic4830]

I think it's one of the reasons why we love this city to live in. It's not trying to reinforce German stereotypes just to attract as many tourists as possible. Instead, Hamburg has always had a focus on its own citizens and quality of life.

[@reginal.898]

I'm from Hamburg, too, and I've seen it too often. People from overseas see "Germany" and think "Bavaria".

[@pumlajenn2162]

Love the market vibe it's just so carefree. Two of the places you have mentioned have always sparked my interest Amsterdam and Germany .

[@AleSalvino]

Totally agree! Amsterdam and Netherlands and Germany for sure are very special :)

[@stephenhowes8937]

Very nice video! I think there should be another rock and roll hall of fame in Hamburg because it was the place where countless many other musicians and successful recording artists besides The Beatles came starting in the late 1950's up through mid 1970's.

[@GinaLuciaReads]

Wow I didn't actually know they had that many bridges there. Pretty cool!

[@AleSalvino]

me neither haha, crazy how much we learn when travelling :)

Lived in the Pearl on the Elbe for 8 years. There is so much to show a visitor that the mind boggles.

[@AleSalvino]

For sure!! This was such a short trip but I hope can come back in the future and explore more!! Thanks a lot!

[@christiankastorf4836]

A lot of Hamburg's public transport system is either the underground system (marked by the white U against a blue background as it is all over Germany) and the S-Bahn, which is a light electric train that runs on standard gauge with a live rail next to it. Especially outside the very centre of the city those trains run in cuttings rather than in tunnels, meaning that the streets have to surpass them. No wonder there are that many bridges in a town that size.

[@AleSalvino]

that makes sense, thanks for sharing Christian!

Since I have little fear for walking on bridges this city makes me scare a little😯😂But seriously - I thought that Venice or Copenhagen are clear leaders in this case🤪

The most largest Warehouse of the world. hahahahaha I worked at 3 warehouse, think at the warehouse with 6 upstairs and size of one quarter. Imagine to find some little item at street 6, adress U-6 at upstair 3.

[@AleSalvino]

Speicherstadt is the world's largest complex of warehouses, covering an area of 260,000 square metres, that's quite a lot 🤯 Glad to see you have some significant warehouse experience, I can only imagine the challenges there! Thanks a lot for watching and sharing! :)

I'm happy I discovered this video. I'm a Canadian from Toronto and have wanted to visit Germany for a while. I luv cities. I luv visiting great walking cities with a safe vibrant streetlife. It was always: Berlin, Berlin, Berlin. I have always known about Munich (pardon my spelling) from the Olympics, and I know Frankfurt as - I think - the financial capital and where my connecting flights stop. But I never ever hear about Hamburg. I think it might be marketing. Get on your tourist board to promote the city. What I know about Hamburg, I have learned from this video. I like what I see and will be seeking out more videos on the city. I'm wondering if Berlin might be too bohemian for me at this point. I understand most Germans from other cities look down their nose at Berlin as the most un-German city (dirty, disorganized, weird people). I find these siballing internal rivalries within countries fascinating. Great video.

[@chesterfieldjones1055]

@@thomasstockfleth9780 "But I never ever hear about Hamburg." English comprehension is a thing. Where did I say I never heard of Hamburg? Where did I say I never knew Hamburg existed. I get that english is likely not your first language, so I will cut you some slack. Regardless, don't be pissed off - and this may lead back to english not being your first language - but my post about Hamburg is POSITIVE. I am not slagging it. I want to visit it now. Relax dude. You'll be happier.
