\ud83d\uddd2\ufe0f What you need to know before your trip to Hamburg<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we start our list of things to do in Hamburg, here is some information you need to know for your next trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you call people from Hamburg?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In French, the inhabitants of Hamburg are Hamburgeois. In German, Hamburgers. And yes, it is here that the famous sandwich was born, though it has been part of the image of the United States for a long time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Hamburg’s specialty?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Other than, of course, the hamburger. The specialities of the city revolve around fish, especially herring, salmon, and dab, which seems logical. It is also a good place to get crab and shrimp. You also have to taste Matjes, salted and preserved herring with a unique taste and tender texture. Or Bismarckhering, herring marinated in vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which hotel to choose in Hamburg?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Hamburg welcomes many visitors throughout the year. The accommodation on offer is accordingly varied, but the prices are often quite high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let’s start with a budget hotel that visitors are sure to remember: the CAB20<\/strong><\/a>. Everything here is modern and very well-thought-out. It offers small but comfortable rooms with integrated music stations, super friendly common areas, and beautiful terraces, all in the city centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do the splits with a very well-located establishment that will amaze you: the Grand Elysee Hamburg<\/strong><\/a>. Spacious and tastefully-decorated rooms, three restaurants, two bars \u2013 this palace has everything. But you will love it above all for its 1000m2<\/sup> wellness area. However, beware, there are no room available for below 200 euros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, since hotels are quite expensive in Hamburg, you might as well treat yourself and look at The Fontenay<\/strong><\/a>. This five-star hotel located on the shore of Lake Alster, a few steps from the famous shopping district of Jungfernstieg, has a wellness center on its roof. The rooms are luxurious with relaxing decor, and some even offer a view of the lake. A haven of peace which comes at a price but which will leave you with unforgettable memories…<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n \n Booking.com<\/a>\n<\/ins>\n
