I have many friends in Hamburg . drop me a line

VOW, 3 weeks would be very long for a hamburg visit. anyway, you may like to visit the harbour which is famous in hamburg,. there is a new harbour museum building at the moment, partly open right now. there is lubeck in the neighborhood area.

for archaeology : hamburg still got some old streets (though 90% was destroyed during the world wars.) after u arrive, get a hamburg tour book you will be introduced which area to go within the city. in a small suburb called ahrensburg there is a very old castle which you may find interesting.

there is a place call emsland, 3 hrs west from hamburg which is a very old town with an old castle. they've got moor they call it, fertile land from many many years ago. there is a museum there.

most suburbs of hamburg have small museum speaking history of their own place likes volsdorf, holsdorf. these places are within the S, or U BAHN (train/tram line).

if u drive north a bit outside hamburg, there is an area called travemunde which they call it little greece / italy with houses built on a landscape nearby the sea.

i've a crazy suggestion, try visit their cementaries. they are very old and nicely built. there is one in bremen, 2 hrs from hamburg, where they've got a very old cementary w/ very old architecture, stunning really.

How is it to visit our only castle?
