We are in Hamburg, Germany, and I’m going to check 
out some of the best attractions in this city, including Hamburg’s 1 billion euros concert 
hall. This is the first time I see something free. One of the most expensive buildings 
in Europe. My first impression, this city is really clean and has much more water than I 
expected. I love it. Here is Hamburg’s main train station. We’ll check it out later. We are going 
to grab some breakfast at this café Breakfast, Mitte. That’s a very beautiful design this 
café and it’s packed. So busy. We ordered one egg benedict and he recommend us one Turkish 
egg. They said that’s our best seller. It looks like a very nice café. Let’s see how it is. 
Beautiful cappuccino for €4.60. Thank you. Here we have the Turkish egg. A very interesting 
combination. Avocado on side. Some poached egg. There’s some cream down there. I don’t know 
what is that. And here is our benedict. Look very nice. Enjoy. Is it like something like sour 
cream? Amazing taste. It’s a lot of herbs. Let’s dig in. With everything looking so good, we had to 
grab a croissant too. We ordered two croissants. One butter and one almond as you see to enjoy it 
with our coffee. And after we are going to check out around the city. Listen to that crunch. Our 
first stop is It sounds amazing. Let’s go check it out. Here is a huge cycling competition. 
This is crazy. The city is so alive. Hamburg greets us with beautiful weather and this 
cycling competition over the weekend fills the city with energy. You can really feel the 
culture and history in every corner surrounded by stunning landmarks and architecture. Behind 
me is Speicherstadt. This is Speicherstadt, the world’s largest warehouse district built in 
the late 1800s. is the old warehouse district that is all built over the water. It’s amazing. Today 
it’s a UNESCO World Heritage site with canals, red brick buildings and beautiful historic 
architecture. There is multiple bridge and it’s beautiful bricks warehouses. It’s unbelievable. 
They keep this thing so clean and good from 1800s. Once used to store coffee, tea and spices. 
Today many warehouses are now museums, cafés and shops. Look at this guys. I hear it from 
some people was passing. I think I spell it now correct. So beautiful. It’s all over water. Let’s 
go for next location. Okay everyone, we are still in old warehouses area and here is a Miniatur 
Wunderland. We bought a ticket for each person is €20. We are going to check it out. I have zero 
expectation, but let’s go see. This is the ticket. Here is the entrance. We start with the gift shop 
where you can find miniature toys and souvenirs. It’s really busy with lots of kids everywhere. For 
now, nothing interesting. From bustling cities to mountain villages, every scene is recreated in 
miniature. This is massive. The funny thing is I thought everything here was just fully automatic, 
but there is actually a crew watching over it all, making sure the tiny trains, planes, and cars 
move just right. The lights are going off and it’s like getting like a dark like night. They 
create such an amazing nighttime atmosphere. You really feel the city at night. Here we 
have the full mini version of the airport. It looked like it was emergency landing, guys. 
So, the fire truck approached. The funny part is there are actually more adults than kids here all 
watching and taking videos. Here we have Emirates Airline Boeing 777. You can watch the video 
of our flight from Dubai to Hamburg. Exactly the same aircraft. This place is truly magical 
for kids, not so much for adults. Personally, I can say it was not that much interesting. 
Only the airport was super interesting. Now it’s time to check out another attraction. Let’s 
go. And here is the Elbphilharmonie. It’s the most expensive building in Germany. Cost 1 billion to 
build that. Its glass facade was designed to look like waves reflecting both the river and the sky. 
I thought you have to pay. This is first time I see something free. Three free tickets to go up 
there. Take the lift to the eighth floor for the view. There’s actually shop here. Restaurant 
here. Bar as well. Let’s go see the Hamburg from top. From up here, I can’t help but fall 
in love with Hamburg. And this is unbelievable. That building built over water. From up here, 
you get a full 360° view of Hamburg. You can see the city in every direction. And here is the city 
view. Unbelievable, guys. So beautiful. Hamburg, Germany is my favorite city now. And down there 
you can see Hamburg’s famous warehouse district. And this is view from the other side. You can 
see a lot of modern construction happen. And this side is most old classic buildings. This side you 
can see the industrial area of Hamburg if I’m not mistaken. And that completes our full round here. 
Time to go and check out the next attraction. And here is Lake Alster. A lot of boats going around. 
There is a famous fountain and beautiful buildings with amazing architecture around. People love 
sitting around here, relaxing at cafés and enjoying food and drinks by the water. Here is 
every day alive like this. Amazing weather and amazing view. Lake Alster was first made as 
a reservoir in the 13th century. Today it’s a favorite spot to relax in Hamburg. Look at here. 
There is hundreds of people. There is a stairs. People sit and enjoy the view. Beautiful rainbow 
that appear from this fountain. We are going for lunch. There is a restaurant just in front of 
the lake. The name of restaurant is Alex. Then we ordered one chicken bucket sandwich. It’s €13.50. 
And also we ordered cheeseburger €15.40 plus extra fries €7. Hopefully will be good. Very good 
burger. Chicken sandwich also is really amazing, especially with this honey mustard sauce. 
Recharging to go back to more attraction. This area around the lake is really beautiful 
with amazing buildings and attractions that we will check out later. This Alster Lake is so 
peaceful and beautiful. A lot of swans swimming around. Actually, this lake make the city in 
half. One side luxury hotels on the other daily life. It’s one of the reason the city feels 
so open and calm. The Alster Lake is home to swans and many birds. We are going to St. Michael 
Church is one of the famous church in Hamburg. Guys represent you some street music. You can find the street music, food stores and 
coffee stands all adding life to the area. So guys, we are on this bridge and walking to next 
attraction and behind me we have this locks all over this bridge. Different color of locks. Very 
beautiful. On our way to the church we pass green parks where lots of locals were enjoying the sun 
on the grass. Just behind me is a St. Michael’s church. It’s one of the famous attraction in 
Hamburg. The sound of the church bells is so peaceful and amazing. It’s a huge clock on top 
of it. Beautiful. It’s one of the few churches in Hamburg built in the Baroque style and it 
tower once guided ships sailing into the harbor. The interior is breathtaking filled with golden 
details, marble columns and a stunning artwork. So guys, we want to try something local from 
the Hamburg. We are there is some pasta is named Franzbrötchen something like that. The spelling 
in German is different with cinnamon flanky. Let’s go check it out. The price was great just €2. We 
want to try everything from every city. There are special food. It’s exactly taste like a cinnamon 
roll. They change the name. I don’t know the history. New local food hamburg. Walking through 
the city, you feel a clean, lively atmosphere with a mix of modern and historic buildings. So 
Everyone, this beautiful building that you see behind me is the city hall. Hamburg city hall 
was built in the 19th century and has more than 600 rooms inside. It’s a beautiful architecture, 
a lot of statues. The city hall entrance is open to visitors for free. Around the city hall 
of Hamburg is not that much clean. There’s also a dead bird on that corner. But we have a 
beautiful lion statue. Here we have this beautiful water fountain statue. Amazing architecture. At 
least inside is very clean. In the courtyard, you can see the famous Hygieia fountain with the 
rest of city hall rising all around it. Let’s go to our next attraction. Now we are around the 
Hamburg train station. We are going to get our rental car here and we are going to check fishing 
village Blankenese. We choose the main train station to pick up our rental car. It’s actually 
really busy here. It’s nice. It’s clean. Hamburg’s main train station is the busiest in Germany with 
over half a million people passing through every day. We got the car. It’s a really big headache 
little bit. We asked for a baby car seat as you see here. This is that’s actually heavy. I carry 
it more than 200 m from train station to this parking area. You have to come down two floor 
and there is this machine here that you will put the pin code and it will give you the car key. So 
we will enter the pin here. Okay. So you get the car key. It’s 2025 car actually. Very new car. 
It cost us for one week around €950-€960 with insurance actually exterior and interior. It’s 
a nice car. It’s about 14 km around a 30-minute ride to Blankenese. We are almost there. So green 
with so many beautiful villas. We are finally here in Blank, the fishing village. The old-time 
fishing village. Look at this white houses behind me. They look incredible. Exactly style of 
Mediterranean. You feel like you are in Greece, not in Germany. And there is a beautiful café 
right there that we are going to check out what they have. If you are in Hamburg, Germany, you 
can visit this place. Especially if you’re not with children like us, you can walk between these 
villas. It’s amazing area. This area is famous for its hillside villas, narrow winding streets, 
and a stunning views over the river Elbe. So, there is a tiny café here. The name is J. So, we 
get lemonade, and we are going to sit around the water and enjoy our drinks. It’s very hot actually 
today. It’s like 25°. This is some Hamburg drink. interesting drink. Visiting this place was a great 
decision. It let us experience life outside the city too. Now, let’s go to our next attraction. So 
guys, we are in the Reeperbahn Street. I’m going to show you through driving the car because 
I’m not going to walk in this street. This is Hamburg’s entertainment hub packed with bars, 
clubs, and nightlife that last until morning. That was not something so much interesting. There 
was a lot of different bars. Surprisingly a lot of doner. It’s a nightlife street. It was quite 
busy. A lot of young people was walking. But that was something very interesting. So that was the 
1 kilometer Reeperbahn street, one of Europe’s most famous nightlife districts. Don’t forget to
