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.

The Tropengewächshaus: location, opening times The Tropengewächshaus (tropical greenhouse) is situated within the park 'Planten un Blomen' near Dammtor railway and S-Bahn station.
We had a wonderful walk in the botanical gardens on a trip out of busy Hamburg. The place is incredibly peaceful with a host of wonderfully arranged and carefully planned sections representing plants from around the world. We visited on a beautifully sunny day and enjoyed just sitting with a coffee and soaking up the atmosphere. We especially enjoyed seeing the beds full of poisonous and medicinal plants. The gardens are well worth a visit if you happen to be in Hamburg and are very easy to get to via public transport. This was one of the highlights of our holiday.

The botanic garden Park Planten un Blomen (plants and flowers) has fountains, a playground, and a rink for ice skating or blading.
Even if you try really hard, chances are you will not do this place justice. It is so beautiful! The minute you set foot in it you are transported to a world of beauty. It is really big and green, even in October! It is so well looked after...There are rivers, cascades, benches to sit and just take it all in, astonishing trees, breathtaking flowers, the Japanese garden is fantastic. If you only have time to do one thing in Hamburg, this should be at the top of your list.
