Fly to Hamburg from 109 € round trip My secret spot ‘You can find lots of great places in Hamburg every day. You just need to open your eyes to see the things around you. My favourite secret spot is Kibbelstegbrücke. When you’re on the bridge in the centre of Speicherstadt, the world’s larg- est warehouse district, there’s a parking garage next to it. And if you go to the top of the garage, you have a great view of the whole Speicherstadt. But it’s not enough to find the place; you also need to know how to get your photo to stand out on Instagram. You’ll need atmosphere, lights, fram- ing, tools, and a person with instant appeal.’ 40 / airBaltic.com Wasserschlösschen Wasserschlösschen Other locations to check out: • The Binnenalster area, including a walk from the Hamburger Kunsthalle to Colonnaden, Hamburg’s high street. • The Wasserschlösschen and its terraces, located between two canals. • The glass façades along Große Elbstraße – a mix of industrial structures and contemporary buildings.
