What to do when it rains?
Take a look what exhibition is currently running in the Deichtorhallen. The focus is on contemporary art and photography. I love to stop and talk in the beautiful, spacious and light halls, then go and root around the books in the nearby bookstore.

Amazing prospects
The best views can be found in the Elbpark Entenwerder. I can enjoy the panoramic views of the city’s skyline and the passing inland ships. I always feel so refreshed after being there, it’s like being on a mini-break. You don’t have to leave Hamburg to experience a real trip.
Best coffee
In the Café Entenwerder 1, beside delicious, freshly prepared small snacks, you can get the tastiest coffee far and wide – freshly roasted by the Public Coffee Roasters. My tip – try the flat white.
