Hamburg, not only one of Europe’s commercial capitals since the Middle Ages, also plays host to a buzzing live and electronic music scene along its beautiful harbour.

Expect a wide variety of activities and little quirks like early morning markets and multicultural eateries. As a classic maritime city, you’ll also never be too far from the sanative cawing of gulls or the gentle lapping of water.

A revamped shipping warehouse and a cabinet of curiosities, the museum also holds the world’s largest private collection of maritime treasures, including an astonishing 26,000 model ships.

Alternatively, if you’d like an excuse to stay up all Saturday night, every Sunday from 5-10am there’s a lively market called the Fischmarkt in St Pauli. Look forward to the songs of boisterous Marktschreier (market criers), happily hawking their wares, as well as a catalogue of classic German pop played by live bands in the adjacent Fischauktionshalle (Fish Auction Hall).
