Finally after many many years I got back to this park. Hamburg has many parks, but this is one of the more impressive ones and a must if you come to see this city.

Hamburg is a place where old and new comes together. It has had times of success and times it and its people had to suffer. The remaining ruin of St. Nikolai church became a WW2 memorial after "Operation Gomorrha" and many more aerial attacks, which had brought firestorms and destruction to Hamburg.

This place offers a spectacular view over Hamburg. See some photos in our gallery.

The century-old Speicherstadt is the world's oldest warehouse complex. It was built at the turn of the century in red bricks with gabled roofs and small towers.

Nowadays, the Speicherstadt not only houses warehouses for coffee, carpets etc. , but also a museum, theaters and even apartments.

The Speicherstadt can easily be explored by foot or from a nice boat tour through the channels.

Formerly a water tower located inside the Stadtpark (City Park) is now housing Hamburg's planetarium. This is a beautiful place where nature and (popular) science come together. You can attend different shows, readings and even music events. It features a powerful projector, which lets you travel through time and space.

I did ask and I was shown the way up to the roof. No cover no guard and what a view I had after clinbimg up 8 stories through this building. Hamburg's buildings are hidden outside the park, but among all those trees. Its hard to believe how big this city is.
