Alster Lake is divided into
inner and outer lake. Hamburg city center is surrounded near the Alster Lake.
Around the Alster Lake with beautiful statues, ancient churches, luxury hotels
and shopping street. This two bridge Kennedybrucke and Lombardsbrucke, they
divided the Alster inner lake and outside the lake. Standing on the bridge is a
good place to enjoy panoramic views of Hamburg.
On the lake Alster, a seat
boat dock - Anleger Jungfernstieg. During the summer, both sides of the lake
can rent sailing, rowing and pedal boats. Starting price is 18 euro per hour

Starting from Jungfernstieg
along the Alster Lake walk to Central Station takes 15 minutes. Located in the
heart of the city outside the lake is sailing, rowing athlete's paradise. Let
sailing athletes are proud that this area of 160 hectares of lakes (maximum
depth is only 2.5 m) is an artificial lake. Since the 13th century, it is by a
river and creeks flowing into Alster this river's confluence. This combined
into the lake, it has been sailing athletes’ sports venues.
In April, the cool weather,
sailing also stopped at the small pier. If it is in the summer, sailing
athletes who will be driving them traveling on the lake. It is a very beautiful
picture.
This bike looks very old.
But it is the hotel's service bicycles. The hotel is famous ah. Remember the
movie 007 yet? It has some scenes are shot here.

Or get off at Central Station. Of course, you can walk around, there is not far

Built in 1906,
Hamburg Central Station (German: Hamburg Hauptbahnhof), which is Germany's
busiest train station. It is second to North Station in Paris. It is Europe's
second-busiest station. The station's architectural style combines
characteristics of Art Nouveau and Neo-Renaissance architecture. During World
War II, the station has been severely damaged, one of the bell tower was
destroyed in 1943. Between 1985-1991, the station redevelopment.
Looks very old Hamburg Central
Station, in many buildings, I feel it like a colossus. I do not think it has
lost color in modern buildings.
