Second only to Berlin in size and population, the city of Hamburg is home to one of the biggest harbors in Europe. A stroll along its many waterways and canals illustrates why it has been called the "Venice of the North." Don't miss a trip to the local fish market (Fischmarkt), the Merchants District (marked by its imposing red-brick architecture), a fine dining experience along the river or a night out in the university quarter. And did we mention the Reeperbahn (red light district)? It's quite famous for its… red lights.

If you are classical music lover, than it is a nice visit. If you specifically like Brahms, than this is a must. You can learn about his early life, you can even play on instruments once Brahms was playing.

This museum is devoted to the lives of several famous composers with Hamburg connections. It contains a wealth of information, and informative audio guides add to one's enjoyment and enlightenment. The display cabinets and information panels occupy several adjoining rooms at ground floor level making for ease of access. There are also folding seats one can carry around with you if you want to take the weight off your legs whilst listening and reading. The museum also has an excellent café where coffee, cake or more substantial refreshment are available. Wholeheartedly recommended.

The CAP SAN DIEGO, built in 1961, is a unique testimony to seafaring and is berthed in her old home harbour of Hamburg as a »museum you can touch« since 1986. She is the last of the classic cargo ships, referred to as the "White Swan of the South Atlantic." There are rooms to let and cabins to rent. A round tour onboard the CAP SAN DIEGO leads the visitor to: cargo holds, loading gear, mooring and anchoring equipment, palaverdeck, lifeboats, swimming pool and arbour, bridge, chart room and communications room, captain’s cabin, dining room and passenger cabins, galley, pantry and mess crew accommodations and the engine room. Since 2015 there is an english audio guide version available on board. An English Booklet containing a tour of the Ship is also available for you during the duration of your stay on board.
Unlike many ship tours, which rope nearly everything off and have just one aisle to go walk through and view from---the Cap San Diego had deck after deck of machinerey and rooms to explore with only a few areas roped off. You could really see so much of the inner workings of this pre container era cargo ship. Absolutely worth a visit. I am not a person who gets excited about machinery in general, so only walked through and spent about 45 minutes, but very much enjoyed that time. Others in my family, had they been with me, could have happily spent 2-3 hours below decks examing everything. There are clean restrooms and a nice little coffee and snack shop onboard as well.
