Hamburg's city park is worth a visit in itself. The miniature golf course in the city park offers you a lot of fun with 18 holes. For 3.50 € you can swing the clubs for a round. The kiosk at the course provides you with all kinds of drinks, snacks and sweets. No place free at the moment? No problem: the idyllic surroundings invite you for a nice walk. Afterwards, the little ones can let off steam on the adjacent playground. Dogs are also very welcome!

 

Our tip: The candy bags delight not only children and give rise to nostalgic feelings.

In the east of Hamburg you will find a real café pearl. On a pontoon with lovingly designed furnishings you will find the Entenwerder 1 - a real oasis of calm. From the pink container in the middle of the floating platform, you'll be well supplied with hot and cold treats. A homemade lemonade or a craft beer? A cool drink with a view of the Elbe is perfect to enjoy right on the water's edge. Coffee art is not neglected either. Caffeinated creations are available here from the roastery right next door, Public Coffee Roasters.

Our tip: The golden sculpture on the floating oasis can be walked on and offers you a fantastic view over the Billwerder Bay.
