This year i traveled to hamburg with my whole classđ Def one of the beat experiences iâve had. it was so much fun and we saw a bunch if stuff (especially in the redlight district) Our original stay was weiĂenhĂ€user strand, which was an incredible cool âtownâ idk if you can call it that. We drank too much one night and the security came knocking on our door (i was asleep) I would definitely do it again especially in a large group. Looking forward to visiting hamburg again (this year maybe...

What a beautiful city to visit in summertime:) There are some many things to do here: visit Miniatur Wunderland (remember to booked the ticket in advance), the Elb river, Elbphilharmonie, Speicherstadt, the Bunker, Elbtunnel, two Bundesliga teams (St.Pauli and HSV), and so many more:) Small tips: you can take some of the ferries for free, instead of paying for the tourist ships, check online in advance! I recommend to stay more than four days here, including weekends since there are markets...

I loved it for the part I visited! It's a very big city and there is a lot of things to do, there's a lot of different cultures. The port is so nice as well as the old town ! There is a big outdoor ice skating ring it was amazing. Food was good and there's so many restaurants!

I went to visit a friend and it was so funny. We cooked together, went to eat on the beach and went to the amusement park. The weather was kinda rainy but I enjoyed it a lot and I felt safe the time I was there.

I felt safe most of the times but in a certain places like Hauptbahnhof or St. Pauli, I try not to pass those places by walking. I also sometimes didnt feel safe at public transports because of the Hijab i wear. Besides that I think Hamburg is wonderful. Ot has bith the criwded streets like MönckebergstraĂe and boat trips from LandungsbrĂŒcken. I would %100 recommend you to go to Elbphilarmoni buildng. Its free to enter and you can see all the city from its balcony.
Posted: July 5, 2025I felt safe, i just had to watch out on the streets with clubs. I would recommend going to Kunsthalle museum and if you like going out then Reeperbahn. My restaurant recommendation is block house. I stayed at my sisterâs so she drove me around but there is local bus and a train.
Posted: January 1, 2025We were in Hamburg. The city has many activities. Like take a boat trip. I was at the musical "Harry Potter and the cursed chıld". The city library is huge. In the basement, used/old books, audio books, films and games are sold at a reasonable price.

I felt most of the time safe. Around the trainstations in Hamburg it is not that safe. Especially at Hauptbahnhof. I liked the Bunker. There you can go up for free and have a beautiful view over the city. Additionally I was in "Naschcafé" which i can recommend. The food there is really good. Also "Falafelprinz" at Schanze. You can get there cheap Falafelwraps. If you like to go into a museum, you should try "Deichtorhallen" or "Kunst und Gewerbe". All in all, it was a really nice trip.
Posted: August 6, 2024Discovering Hamburg for the first time. It is an atypical city, very interesting with several aspects. I really enjoyed walking along the river and taking the public boat that allows you to discover the city. The architecture of the city as well as its monuments and churches are magnificent. I recommend spending at least 2 days there and if you are lucky with beautiful sunshine. Concerning the food, you absolutely have to try a fish sandwich on the port. On the other hand, it is a city that...

Hamburg is a pretty safe city, but I would advise to be mindful of the party/red light district (Reeperbahn, Sternschanze, St Pauli) as there's more drunk party goers who might get a bit rowdy. The central train station (Hauptbahnhof) has a lot of homeless people and occasionally drug addicts, so I would advise caution and awareness if arriving there in the evening/nighttime.

Hamburg is very safe. As in every bigger city you have to be more carefull at night. Especially if you go out to Party on the famous Reeperbahn, it is best to go with friends and watch out for each other.

Hamburg is overall safe with several exceptions (central station, some areas Like Harburg, Jenfeld, St. Pauli, Reeperbahn). Iâve been living in Hamburg for 4 years, Iâve not been robbed or anything yet (thankfully). But there can be catcalling, a lot of homeless people asking for money and stuff.
Posted: July 26, 2026Well, Hamburg is fine but in some places i suggest is dangerous for a lady to go alone. Around Hauptbahnhof, i personally think is very uncomfortable and not feeling nice but if you go to some areas around there is slightly better.

Depends on where ur are. Eppendorf and Winterhude is very safe but Reeperbahn, Billstedt, MĂŒmmelmansberg are not that safe. Over all donât go out alone at night as a Women. And never take the last U Bahn
Posted: July 1, 2026Overall itâs pretty safe. Just be cautious in a healthy way. :) Daytime is pretty safe. Night time being caution when using public transportation. Some people might be drunk and not aware of their behavior. And if you are a tourist and go back home late at night itâs better to call a MOIA or taxi.
