We travel to Hamburg few times, all it is in the cold weather season. Once in the Christmas season, the sky is often snowflakes, the air cold and windy, but does not affect the festive atmosphere in Hamburg.

In May, we traveled to Hamburg again, like the spring season, because spring came late this year in the world. Hamburg in the spring, the grass began to sprout, and everywhere are showing atmosphere of joy. I look up to, full of a green scene, like a watercolor painting.

City Hall, the church.... looks like they are stereotyped rhythm. But if careful observation, experience, you will learn: Hamburg is a suitable depth tour, savor waterfront city. What attracted you to come? With a strong local flavor of the fish market? Feasting bar area? You will know what you really need.

Hamburg is not an ancient city, Hamburg charm, it is needed time to taste. In the author's opinion, Hamburg is suitable for young people living in cities. It allows people to get rid of the noise and bustle of the big city, but it also did not quite get too boring. Water everywhere, it gives this city added some gentle and tactful. This seemingly simple port city, there is so much to learn and experience, there are so many things you can try, there is so much imagination and can make a person feel.

In working time, City Hall lobby and Town Hall's inner courtyard is always open to visitors. Usually there will be regularly updated display inside the lobby of City Hall, including the structure and history, as well as other cultural events the town hall. Town Hall's inner courtyard there is a bronze statue of a huge fountain, to find the great stone steps to sit down and listen to the gurgling sound of water, but also allows you to relax on the road, experience the atmosphere of Hamburg.

Tips:

1. City Hall visiting hours from 10 o'clock start, visitors are free to enter the lobby floor and Town Hall's inner courtyard.

2. If you want a guided tour to visit all the rooms, the best choice for Saturday to go, other times the situation will be encountered where a meeting was canceled visit.

3. Town Hall's inner courtyard cafe with bathroom, but for guests only, can take a cup of tea in the lounge inside, before leaving to go to the bathroom. Because the toilet is difficult to find in Hamburg.
