Travelogue - Hamburg
Hanseatic city of Hamburg, as they address themselves is quite interesting. The word Hanseatic comes from the German word Hanse / Hansa signifying the league of cities or merchant association formed to align the policies to maritime trade. If the Southern German cities like Stuttgart & Munich are known for their automobile expertise, Hamburg is about shipping & transportation. A huge container port with a beautiful harbour, Hamburg embodies the shipping culture into itself. The maritime museum dedicated to various aspects of shipping from history to engineering , the infamous Reeperbahn ( Hamburg's red-light district ) , Hafencity - A modern city formed out of old harbor area & reclaimed land, a la-Venetian style canal system , the city is quite engaging in itself. The star-attraction in this city was undoubtedly a place called 'Miniature Wunderland' . See the pics & Video .. This is a place where you should take your kid...
