I thought I’d do a two-part post for my weekend in Hamburg – discussing the race and then a travel guide. Obviously, this was not a typical city break, a lot of the city was filled with triathlon (I am not complaining aha) and I enjoyed spending a lot of our time watching the elite races. We spent 4 days in Hamburg, one of which was race day so was almost a write off (see the previous blog post). This left us with 3 days to explore inbetween races. I would say this was more than enough time to explore the city (maybe you would need more time if you wanted to explore the outskirts/other neighbourhoods). Hamburg is very different to my last trip to Valencia. Hamburg is almost an industrial city with a major port. There were lots of canals and bridges, similar to Amsterdam in a way. However, the central streets of the city were very upmarket with lots of shops and restaurants, similar to parts of London. Places to visit Speicherstadt

Food and drink There are some amazing food places in Hamburg, some of which are very expensive but look lovely. Here are the places I went to, some just out of convenience but still good food. The places we ate were priced fairly/similarly to the UK - roughly £10-17. Nord coast coffee roasters

Overall, I enjoyed my trip to Hamburg. I hope this post is helpful in helping plan your trip if you ever find yourself in Hamburg.
