The Saturday City: Hamburg
Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 22 October 2011
Whenever I hear a city mentioned with glowing enthusiasm, I get a bit skeptical. I’ve learned that having expectations about a place often lead to disappointment. Places get built up so much in your head that reality can often never live up to your imagination. And so whenever people told me how amazingly wonderful Hamburg, [...]

Lady in Hamburg
Blog: A Lady in London - 25 July 2011
Everyone loves Hamburg. Most of my friends have been there on business, and they all come back raving about the beautiful parts of the city they explore between meetings. After hearing about my friends’ travels for the millionth time, I finally decided to go on my own Hamburg travels to see for myself. I arrived [...]

Christkindlmarkts and Beer in Hamburg
Blog: thebeergeek.com - 15 December 2010
After three days of seeing friends in London and Dublin, it was time for Merideth and I to move on to the continent and explore some new beer territory. While not a big beer destination like other German cities, Hamburg was our first stop on this phase of our trip. We had heard good things [...]

Germany: Our last driving hurrah and sausagefest!
Blog: The Amazing Dawdle - 23 September 2010
After Poland, we were excited to return back to Western Europe. We missed the variety of breads, relative safety factor, and our wide breadth of language skills here (the 5 phrases or words we know... like thank you and hello…), and clean bathrooms (OK – so you sometimes have to pay for them), which now means Christy could travel without a wad of TP or Kleenex in her pocket. That being said, we will miss the inexpensive way of life in Eastern Europe… everything simply costs less and so we will discover sticker shock again!

Miniatur Wunderland, Hamburg
Blog: UnpoppedCollar - 28 June 2010
So, this easily goes down as the nerdiest thing I did on my Eurotrip (and, let’s be honest, it’s up there in a life of nerdiness), but I went to the world’s leading Miniature Railroad museum while in Hamburg. It was pretty ridiculous. They built a model of Switzerland. THE COUNTRY! It was two stories tall! With the Alps! They also had an “America” section which featured Las Vegas in all of its glory. Some photos:

Tell me about the lady boys
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 8 August 2009
The Melbourne lad (Rhaun) from my room came with me to the FC St. Pauli stadium for the game last night. By the time we got there the 2nd half had already started so it was too late to get in but we watched the rest of it in a pub built into the ground. [...]

John, St. Pauli, George and Ringo
Blog: Send The Bugger Back - 7 August 2009
I had a bit of interesting news today. If I say Blogsherpa to you, you will probably think I’m back on the Wuppertal (stop it!!) path of sillyness but that would not be the case. Blogsherpa is a relatively new (I think it’s still in beta) system that Lonely Planet have put in place to [...]

Ten things to do in Hamburg
Blog: velvet escape's blog - 17 June 2009
Hamburg is Germany’s second largest city (after Berlin) and is its main port. It’s a very cosmopolitan city with a small historic section (Altstadt) – most of the city was destroyed during the Second World War) – and large portions that have been redeveloped. The city is hemmed in by two lakes (the Binnenalster and [...]
