    Our tips for a great Pentecost weekend in Hamburg

    When the weather is good, you can explore the Hanseatic city on foot during a guided tour. On the Alster and in the harbour, the captains of the Elbe metropolis share their waters with interested visitors. Many restaurants and cafés are wonderful places to sit and watch the ships go by. Another good idea is to hire a bike and discover Hamburg and the surrounding area on two wheels. If the sky does darken, the exhibitions in Hamburg's museums shine all the brighter. It is also wonderful to stroll through the various districts of Hamburg, where the shops invite you to browse. The musicals and shows in Hamburg provide fantastic entertainment in all weathers.
