Hamburg
A harbour that made the city rich enough to build a concert hall shaped like a wave on top of an old warehouse, a red-light district with more history than shock value left in it, and a fish market that starts absurdly early on Sundays.
The best time to visit Hamburg is May–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 23°C (74°F). Local time there is 07:13 (UTC+2).
