Hamburg might be often overshadowed by Berlin or Munich, but it certainly is one of Germany’s best hidden gems. A vibrant harbor city with plenty of activities, Hamburg will keep you interested through days and nights. Among the city’s most famous attractions is the Elbphilharmonie, a stunning concert hall that could rival the famous Sydney Opera House. The concert hall also features a public viewing platform that offers a panoramic view of the city and the harbor, a great bonus for visitors who enjoy taking pictures. If you travel with kids, it is a great idea to take them to the Miniatur Wunderland, which many consider to be the largest model railway in the world. If you simply want to take a walk around and enjoy the vibe of the city, Planten und Blomen, nicknamed “the green lungs of the city”, will provide the reprieve you need.

Hamburg’s proximity to the sea allows it to offer the freshest and finest seafood dishes around. Fischereihafen Restaurant is a local favorite that has garnered plenty of attention. For the best beers around, Braugasthaus Altes Mädchen is a popular spot that is worth your attention.

The main bus station in the city is called ZOB Hamburg and it’s located at Adenauerallee 78 in the city center, serving FlixBus and Sindbad, among other carriers. Hamburg Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station in the city. For international air services, Hamburg Airport, the oldest in Germany, is the main airport.

Known as Germany's Silver City, Freiberg's wealth and splendour are based on its past as a mining area for silver and other precious metals. While mining is no longer the main livelihood of the locals, visitors are still encouraged to follow the silver trail to discover the hidden gems of the city. Freiburg is also one of the most significant cities in the famed Black Forest, with the mountainous backdrop and babbling brooks worthy of a Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

Start your journey at the Silver Mine to see the centuries-old mineshaft also known as the Old Elisabeth. If you want to discover more about the city's rich silver mining history, be sure to drop by the City and Mining Museum, as well.

Another magnificent landmark that you shouldn't miss is the Cathedral of St. Mary. This medieval building erected in 1180 is home to the famed Silbermann Organs and the cathedral's tolling bells. The other attractions inside the church are The Golden Gate and Funerary Chapel. If you want to enjoy live entertainment and classical music, check out the shows at Freiberger Sommernächte or Konzert-und Ballhaus Tivoli. For a true Freiberg gastronomical experience, try Ratskeller, Goldenes Prag, or Kartoffelhaus.

Basel-Mulhouse Airport is the nearest airport to Freiberg, but to reach the city from the airport (or from many other German cities), you'll want to hop on a coach like FlixBus. Freiberg is also easily accessible by train, thanks to Deutsche Bahn and Railjet routes.
