Sights of Hamburg, Germany!! Day 3/3 Part I

Finger-lickin good eh? Enjoying breakfast at the hotel!
The egg-holder convinced me to start loving soft-boiled eggs again!
Also, can spot the funnily-shaped TV in the background?
CITY HALL AREA, HAMBURG
The city's medieval and impressive city hall (Rathaus) was built in 1897
and houses the senate and the Hamburg Parliament.
It is in neo-Renaissance style and has a 112m tower,
so we were there enjoying the nice morning weather..


The main city centre is quite walkable,
and we chanced upon a
nice but deserted shopping centre, I like the curvature inside the building..
and a church...

MESSBURG, HAMBURG

to the main sight of this post: the Chilehaus. Can see that LQ is actually panting in the 1st pic? haha maybe I make her walk too much..
The Chilehaus is so named because it was commissioned by a shipping magnate from Chile; this office building is special as it is shaped like a ship,
with curved walls which meet at a sharp angle at the front..

Another similar brown-brick building beside it is the Sprinkenhof,
it has special windows and diamond-pattern bricks..
