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 hamburgmuseum (or hm), also known as Museum für Hamburgische Geschichte ("Museum for Hamburg History"), is a history museum located in the city of Hamburg in northern Germany. The museum was established at its current location in 1922, although its parent organization was started in 1839. The museum was named hamburgmuseum in 2006. It is located near the Planten un Blomen park in the center of Hamburg. The museum has many artifacts from preserved by the Society of Hamburg History founded in 1839. The Petri portal from Hamburg's St. Petri Church, built in 1604, was built into the museum courtyard.
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.

The international art, music and culture festival, initiated by Viva con Agua de Santa Pauli eV (VcA) and the FC Sankt Pauli in Hamburg, uses the language of art and, following the motto “Art Creates Water”, the festival aims to transform water into art and the visitors, as well as art creators, into participants of a movement for societal progress. Each year, the Millerntor Stadium, a well-established institution in the heart of the city, becomes an open platform for dialogue and exchange where a heterogeneous audience meets at a local, international and intercultural level. Artistic works of all genres together with a diverse music, culture and educational program show the various possibilities of how to participate in positive socio-ecological change. Through the event, more than 250 volunteers, numerous international artists and cultural workers, as well as approximately 17,000 visitors become actors of civil society.

The exhibits were lovingly out together by locals. This small museum tells the story of the neighbourhood of St. Pauli, from humble beginnings. It includes many gems from the Beatles (and beat) era and also covers its history of prostitution, pimps and drag queens. Also included are the back story to what has made the area the party capital of Germany, and includes artefacts and pictures of legends such as Freddie Quinn and Hans Albers. Sadly, due to demands for higher rents, this place is under threat of closure. Go while you can!

Although Hamburg is famous for its erotic atmosphere, this museum takes a more intellectual look at sex, featuring an international collection of erotic artifacts from throughout history.
