Hamburg, Germany, is just a short distance trip from my home base Bremen. That’s perfect for a short escape, just to see something different. My latest trip to Hamburg was just for a relaxed afternoon. Come and join my InstaTrip:
1pm - Getting there:
There is a regurlar train connection from Bremen to Hamburg. With the Niedersachsen-Ticket you can get for just 22 Euro (one person) to Hamburg and back and can even use all public transports in the city. Well, this time I tried the new ADAC Postbus - a retour ticket costs about 18 Euro but does not include the public transport in the city.
2pm - Discover an almost lost place:
Do you know I have a vertigo? I was quite afraid of climbing down the stairs to the old tunnel below the river Elbe. But what I found there was worth all the hassle as you can see in my post here (sorry, so far only in German.)
3pm - Going by ship:
If you have a day ticket or a Niedersachsen-Ticket you can use all public transports in Hamburg - including the ferries connecting the different districts of the city. I love going to the Docklands. From the roof terrace you have a spectacular view on the river Elbe.
5pm - Grab some food:
I learnt about Mamalicious (Max-Brauer-Allee 277, 22769 Hamburg) from my Hamburg friends. The pancakes are really delicious. Give it a try.
7pm - Going home:
Well, I had a wonderful afternoon but I had to get back to Bremen. But I’m coming back, for sure!

I also love short escapes and exploring new things. I have yet to visit Hamburg, I’ve just before driven through it. Those pancakes look absolutely delicious!
Hamburg is really good for a short trip and I would go there any time just for those pancakes
