Elbphilharmonie

 

One of Hamburg’s most famous landmarks is the Elbphilharmonie. With its imposing architecture, it provides a truly breathtaking sound experience. I found the Musical Guide on the Elbphilharmonie’s homepage very helpful in deciding which show to attend.
There is not only classical music or opera performances to listen to, but almost everything – from large orchestras to baby concerts, from jazz to world music to electro. There’s bound to be something for you, too!

Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe

 

I spent several hours of my stay in museums, including the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe (MK&G).

The MK&G in Hamburg is one of the most important institutions for design in Germany. The exhibition collection spans a period from antiquity to modern innovations and includes works from various cultural backgrounds, such as Europe, East Asia, and the Islamic-influenced world. The museum is a place for discussion and emphasizes the importance of design issues for our times. It aims to provide a platform for open debate and to treat the design of our world as a central theme.

If you are also interested in museums, I recommend you take a look here. You will find a list of the most important museums in Hamburg, including a description of what to expect in each museum.

MyHighlight: the Altonaer Museum

 

As one of the largest regional museums in Germany, the Altona Museum is dedicated to the art and cultural history of northern Germany. Since its founding in 1863, the museum has presented the cultural and historical development of the Elbe region around Altona and the coastal areas of the North Sea and Baltic Sea, including Schleswig-Holstein.
Here I found several exhibitions super exciting, which I also recommend to you:

Other highlights of the city are the Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model train museum in the world, and the Speicherstadt, the largest connected warehouse ensemble in the world.

Hello world, I am Mahida! My heart beats for traveling and blogging, preferably together with my husband. Together we both love to travel - both as a couple and sometimes on our own. Our favorite places to travel are in Central Europe. Always looking for the next adventure. I don't like to stay in one place for a long time, I have always been drawn to faraway places. For me, a good mixture of adventure and relaxation - a lot of variety - is essential for a successful vacation! And insights into foreign cultural events as well as national events or local peculiarities are super exciting for my husband Tim and me. For me, as they say, the journey is the destination. Therefore, a good preparation for our trips together is important to me. So you will also find helpful tips and tricks for your next vacation. Writes for: Travel Inspiration
