Germany - Day 12

Today we took a trip to Hamburg. It's about an hour and ten minutes away by car. We parked in the main station car park.

We had a walking route round the main sights in the city, starting at the Rathaus (town hall).


It took us down through the old port warehouse district.


We went past the Elbphilharmonie concert hall.


We decided to get the ferry across the River Elbe to Finkenwerder. On the way we stopped at the dockside where we could climb up the outside of a building for the views.


At Finkenwerder all we did was buy some Currywurst for lunch.


We then got the ferry back and walked to the St Michaelis church, where we paid to climb the hundreds of steps to the viewing platform.


We went into the church and its crypt as well.


After this we walked up through the long beautiful park which borders the west of the city centre. It has lots of lakes and fountains.


We drove home, and had the rest of the bolognese with garlic bread for dinner.
