Hamburg is an amazing city full of contrasts. On the one hand, it is one of the richest cities in Germany and does not hide this wealth. On the other hand, various parts of the city such as St. Pauli are less wealthy but compensate this by being hubs of artistic and cultural importance. In addition, you can find the nightlife and party zone mainly in this area. Other places such as Blankenese communiques northern opulence and richness to the visitor.

Often times, the city has been compared to other major cities such as Venice or Amsterdam. This comparison stems from the romantic mixture of channels and water that may remind the visitor of these cities at times. If you are into partying, Hamburg is a mecca for you. Dancing in one of the countless clubs on the Reeperbahn is an amazing experience. But you can top that experience by adding a visit to the fish market on early Sunday after your party excesses. This not only allows you to relax but also offers you a lesson and insight into the soul of the city. If you have not seen the fish market, you definitely missed one of the major attractions Hamburg offers the visitor.
