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

SPEICHERSTADT, HARBOUR AREA, HAMBURG


Besides being the media capital of Germany and being a major location of the world's aircraft assembly industry (after Seattle and Toulouse), Hamburg is also a leading port city and has the harbour as the heart of the city.




The Speicherstadt is a whole area of red-brick warehouses which stored exotic goods around the world last time but houses many museums and apartments now..


HAFENCITY, HARBOUR AREA, HAMBURG


The HafenCity is a project that develops a new district from the harbour.. besides having nice spaces to house a small building showcasing the city's philharmonic orchestra..




..it also has newly designed living pods for residents right beside the water!
All of them look so cool and are unique with their own flavour..
The city is served by the S- and U-Bahn just like Berlin
and we also didn't buy tickets! ssshhhh...
HAUPTBAHNHOF, CITY CENTRE, HAMBURG
The main train station looks very spacious but is older of course compared to Berlin's. But it has many reasonably-priced food stalls too for us to buy something to eat on the airport shuttle as well as on the budget flight back to Stockholm..



After 3 days and 3 nights, it's time for our German adventure to come to an end.
Back to Stockholm, with fond memories of Berlin, the capital that's constantly evolving, and Hamburg, with much less sights but still Germany's 2nd largest city...
~End of Berlin & Hamburg Trip!~
