Things to do in Hamburg, Germany: The Best History Museums

September 19, 2021 Diedre Savory

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.

This is a fantastic museum and provided us a very welcome and thorough introduction to Hamburg not long off the plane. I love museums that have life-size set ups of old pubs, shops, and other rooms to immerse you in the experience and this museum has so many. Well worth the entry fee and you could spend a good few hours here.

It's free, easy to get to by the subway and then connect to the bus line. Takes 5 hours to go through if your a thorough visitor, it's big and detailed. Friendly staff. Emphasis on Nazi SS employees and employment, concentration camp slave labors, the future generations quest for knowledge and understanding of how there parents/grandparents could possible do such and thing and why their parents wouldn't talk about the past and how the guilty helped cover up each other's guilt and prisoners. Plenty of clean WC.
