First time in Hamburg

In all the years I’ve lived in Germany, I had never been to the (city) states of Bremen, Hamburg or Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. So when it came time to decide where to vacation in the summer, I decided to fix that.

This post on Hamburg is part 1 in a series (part 2: Bremen and part 3: Rostock)

HafenCity in particular made quite an impression for its harmonious combination of historic buildings in the Speicherstadt and the modern architecture.

HafenCity subway station

The lighting if the subway station HafenCity Universität was particularly exciting especially early in the day when it was virtually empty.
