Amazing experience! Much diversity in the different rooms and great actors. Never has learning about a city's history been so much fun. Astonishing special effects and sudden scares. There are interactive parts where great solutions for the problems that came with covid have been found. Easy to reach by public transport. The staff is super friendly and obliging. Highly recommended!

This is Germany's largest and oldest waxwork and you know what? It's up there with Madame Tussauds! (Personally I think it's better, but I am biased ;-))There are wax figures from historical to modern figures, from comedians to actors to Queens and Kings to fashion designers.Really enjoyed visiting.

Germany's Alster Lake is located in the center of Hamburg, like a pearl, inlaid in the picturesque scenery of this city. More than 1,000 years ago, the Alster River flowing through Hamburg merged with the Elbe River through a low-lying grassland. As time passed, the grassland was gradually flooded, forming today's Alster Lake. Hamburgers and tourists like to walk around the lake. Every summer, swans will float on the blue waves, which is very interesting.

Fans who like to watch the Bundesliga will not be unfamiliar with this place. This is the home stadium of Hamburg St. Pauli. However, there was no game going on when we passed by, so it was quite deserted. However, the surrounding buildings are very beautiful and there are many attractions.

The museum is based on a submarine from World War II. The submarine is quite large and was an important underwater force for Germany during World War II. The building area of the submarine museum is also quite grand.
