Hamburg, July 2018

As part of my vacation trip this summer, I was invited to Hamburg by the project Come to Hamburg. I had never been to Hamburg before, and really didn’t know what to expect, but it really ended up being a highlight of my summer vacation. Hamburg is such a lively city, with lots of grafitti and street art, museums (with the Kunstmeile pass you get access to five renowned art institutions), as well as super nice restaurants, bars and cafés. If you’re into culture and nice friendly people, I must say that Hamburg is the place to visit.

Our stay in Hamburg got off to a fantastic start when we checked into the Renaissance Hamburg Hotel. I didn’t know what they had prepared for me, but it turned out that they were fully intended on spoiling me rotten by giving us a huge suite on the 5th floor. The suite was insane, including a grand piano and everything. They even had fluid art wallpaper, with my favorite colors! Apparently the wallpaper had been there for ages, and they had kept it when they took over the building and renovated it for the hotel business. The Renaissance Hamburg Hotel call themselves a design hotel, with every right. It feels modern, but also has a lot of interior details connected to Hamburg and its history of being an important harbour city. All within an historic, beautiful expressionistic building (very German indeed). And the location was great for getting to and from the airport and train station, and it was also very easy to get to the two areas we loved the most; St. Pauli and Sternschanze.

The Renaissance Hamburg Hotel

Sternschanze as well as St. Pauli are filled with street art and graffiti, and there were enough great restaurants and cafés to last us at least a month. Unfortunately though we only had two days, so we had to be a bit picky… Both areas had their distinct charm, and cruising the streets in this summer’s heatwave was truly inspirational for me as an artist, but also just perfect for some good old vacation fun. Reeperbahn was of course a must-see, however, if you’re like me and aren’t really that into crazy night clubs etc, I’d suggest you head just north of Reeperbahn where you’ll find it a bit more calm and quiet. But there are still plenty of nice places to eat, drink and enjoy yourself. Here, on Paul-Roosen-Straße, you’ll also find Affenfaust Galerie. Unfortunately our timing was a bit off, they were just in the process of installing a new group show when we went there, so it was closed. The artworks we saw from the outside looked amazing though. And they represent awesome artists like 1010, Doppeldenk and Push, so it’s well worth a visit next time we go to Hamburg.

All in all, we had a fantastic stay in Hamburg, and our only regret is that we couldn’t stay longer. But, we’ll be back soon for sure!

Today’s plan: exploring the hip Schanze neighbourhood. I feel like my favourite Malasaña in Madrid has some serious competition 😄 I heard that the thrift shops are pretty amazing in here 👌🏽 @come_to_hamburg #cometohamburg (at Schanze) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpl7RDHH06S/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vmtz9islow8q

This is Bergedorf Castle in Hamburg. Walking around here was amazing and so beautiful. Whilst it is no longer a castle, in fact it is actually a museum, I can't help but think about how cool it would be to be royalty and call this home 🤔! A girl can dream right? 😂 Where is the coolest castle you have ever seen? #cometohamburg #hamburgahoi #hamburg_de #tophamburgphoto #hamburglove #hamburgcity #hamburggram #wearehamburg #welovehamburg #igershamburg #manchesterblogger #bergedorf #wearetravelgirls #girlswhotravel #travelcouple #lifegoals #cnntravel #cntravel #bbctravel #livetravelchannel #fodorstravel #fodorsonthego #frommerstravel @come_to_hamburg #visithamburg #visitgermany #discovergermany #traveltheglobe #lifewelltraveled #myfavtourlina #letsgoeverywhere (at Bergedorf)

[ad - hosted ]So we are moving on from #Hamburg today and will be sad to go. It definitely exceeded our expectations. The people have been incredibly friendly and helpful, the city has some amazing architecture and we loved highlights such as the @chocoversum chocolate tour and tasting, the @miniaturwunderland a model railway that is so much more and the river and water that dominate the city and bring it to life. With so many cheap flights from the uk put this on your list of cities to visit. thanks for the hosting and incredibly warm welcome from @holiday_inn_hamburg @come_to_hamburg #hamburgahoi #cometohamburg #fearlessfamtrav #visitGermany #wanderlustmomblogger#lovelysquares #takeyourkidseverywhere #halftermholidays #travelkids #familytravelblogger#lpkids #famiiytravel http://bit.ly/2TQJkvD

[ad - hosted] So sometimes with kids when you’re doing a city break you have to do some of what they want to do as well. This one really really didn’t want to go on the boat cruise so instead we sat in the sun down by the river and played cards whilst the other 5 went on the trip. It was only an hour but it made her so happy. After we finished our fab trip to the @chocoversum (check out the insta stories I’ve saved #Hamburg as a highlight) they really wanted to head back to the hotel and have a swim so that’s what we’ve done. All about compromise! We have loved Hamburg but are onto #Berlin tomorrow! Fabulous stay at the @holiday_inn_hamburg with @come_to_hamburg thanks so much for hosting us. #ukftb #familytravel #hamburgahoi #cometohamburg #fearlessfamtrav #visitGermany #wanderlustmomblogger#lovelysquares #takeyourkidseverywhere #halftermholidays #lpkids http://bit.ly/2DSMHLJ
