Second largest city in Germany and as big as New York. But Hamburg is often regarded as a mostly rainy and gloomy city. And yet people love this city more then Berlin but why?
To be honest it took me 3 visits and some more convincing to really see the city for what it is. I think it is very beautiful especially considering it suffered a lot during the world war 2. And so I wanted to make a video about my appreciation of this city.
Ps – I like rain 😀 It does rain here and it is gloomy. I was lucky with the weather.

Were Hamburgers invented in Hamburg? No but also yes (kinda).
They made the foundation (the seasoned meat without buns). And germans living in Amarica added the buns.

I love your videos Erika ❤❤
I always see just the top landmarks and city centre sights, with the red brick architecture, but Hamburg has many diverse architectures…go to the suburbs like Harvestehude, Eppendorf, Winterhude which is fairly close to the city centre…and around the Außen Alster lake…it has buildings and homes with the most beautiful art niveau architecure..mostly in white paint…just breathtaking especially surrounded by the many canals , willow trees and cherry blossom trees especially in spring…it is like living in a gardener's paradise…I lived there for 2 years and still dreaming of it
Although I've been in Germany several times I've never encountered Fritz Cola and then I found it in Portugal 😂
It's very boring city and german people are not friendly and as a foreigner you will live isolated
"just get a granny bike, more comfortable" not in bad weather and when it´s just windy way more wind resistence when sitting up straight. Also, going 25-27km/h or going 45km/h using less strenght (not nesseccarly a good modern granny bike, about same amount of power needed) makes a huge difference.
This summer i visited Hamburg, loved it, though a local told me "why are u visiting hamburg?" I was shocked as Hamburg is beautiful and one of those cities i would live in.
Really enjoy your content but please dont consider flying for distances that short. AMS-HAM is one transfer with DB and even directly linked with Flixbus
That wasn’t Chilehaus in the video. That was Sprinkenhof.
Lower case i among all capital letters. Why????
😂
not exactly accurate, but i guess if you post on youtube, you have to have trumpismn to score.
Hamburg meine Perle ⚓️ 🩵
Scooters are definately laying around everywhere in Hamburg. But the biggest flaw in that video is to say that in Hamburg less people would speak english. That's absolutely wrong. My husband is an American and lives here for over 17 years and hasn't yet learned the german language. He get's around easily everywhere with just English. Just saying.
The best city in Germany
You are a great narrator😮
I'm getting Chicago vibes from this 👀
Why is no one commenting on the NRW transit map being shown while talking about Hamburg public transport
Nice video 😁
where is haribo guys?
I lived there for over 15 years, and I didn't like it. The city is full of dirty red-broun colors because they are built from old brick left over from the war. There is green mold everywhere on the pavement and you can't get rid of it easily. There is a lot of rain. The landscape is also pretty flat, no hills (at least north of Elbe). For me this city feels very generic, if you want nice architecture, go to Lubeck or Bremen instead. Also if your bike is any good, it will be stolen. It has excellent infrastructure and all, but it had a very generic feel for me.
Great video. Thanks Erika!
Liver where there are the least muslims to be safe.
there is look like almost no nature everywhere and it is gray and brown. anyway ı can visit sometime but I don't think so I will there
Hamburg is definitely not as big as new york…
I been to hamburg last year by 2022 from Bangladesh.
This was a yt recommended and thank you yt. I liked the vibe, the commentary, the humour, definitely a nice overview of the city. I saw on the channel you are thinking to move to Germany, is this the city you'll choose?
Hamburg is not as big as NYC. Wtf are you talking about
Nice! I'm considering now to visit Hamburg in my next trip to Germany 🙂
All those construction sites were a main part of the reason why I've visited Hamburg for more then a week this summer. I really like watching big sites even that I work on construction sites myself. 😎
ich habe hamburg vor ueber zwanzig jahren gesehen und diese stadt bietet wirklich fuer alle etwas herzlich willkommen in hamburg❤❤😊
I have been living in Hamburg for almost 2 years. In my opinion, the city is great but too big for me and it has a massive huge giant problem with free places to rent for living! And I’m not even complaining about the weather, it is always a shit and you use to it. So the city would be really perfect if they started to build fucking houses at least 5-6 floor ones. Please🥲
Everything about germany sucks, the culture, the politics, the music, the city, the school system. Worst fucking country ever.
Lol. People run away from hamburg
The Reeperbahn district is famous as the area where the Beatles began their rise to world fame. They had stints in several clubs there, and played for hours every night.
with those rent prices – only wg is available.
I wanna leave this shithole i hate germany so much
whats wrong with people preaching the bible? youre embarrassing.
Nowadays the rent is aobut the same in Berlin and Hamburg….
I would really like to move to Germany, but I received some bad news today. Due to the freezing of the German government budget, the opportunities for voluntary work (FSJ and BFD) will be drastically reduced for foreigners. This has discouraged me and taken away my hope of being able to live in Germany. I have been planning this for a long time and have spent a lot of money on German language certificates and passport issuance.
I mean you cant really compare "Hamburg" food with Italian or french food a more fair comparison would maybe be paris specific food or rome specific food to Hamburgs
grandma bikes suck. heavy. slow. ugly. heavy.
I don't normally live in Germany, I went to Germany for a trip and stayed in Berlin and Hamburg for a certain period of time. I think they are both beautiful cities, but the nightlife is more intense in Berlin.
Hamburg is as shitty as Berlin imho, although I like the northern part of Germany… in summer.
What are you talking about? There are no flights between Hamburg and Amsterdam? I live in Hamburg and fly to Amsterdam often. KLM has like 4 flights between HAM and AMS every day.
I really liked your vlog here. Our son is going to graduate school in Hamburg (mom/dad in Canada), and his provides a really good sense of the city.
Well Berlin is nasty. Just move to Munich or Freiburg….you're welcome.
