Colonnaden, Bleichenhof, Gänsemarkt-Passage, Galleria, Hanse-Viertel,... All those lanes around the inner part of Hamburg are very popular shopping streets and malls where you can get rid of your Euros, bank-accounts,… Wonderful alternative to a rainy weather because most of the streets are under roofs! Don’t go there on Sundays… You will feel like the only human being in Hamburg!

S-Train 'Blankenese'
This old mellifluous fisher-nest is more than 700 hundred years old. Today it is one of the rich and fancy spots in Hamburg. There are good reasons for that. Set on a hill close to the Elbe-River it provides their inhabitants with a high standard of life. A good place to go for a walk or relax at the beach.

Emigration museum Ballinstadt
by coccinella169
This is a rather new museum located just opposite the train station Veddel. It is about emigration from Germany to Americas in the 19th and 20th century, in which Hamburg as a harbour town loomed large of course. First Hamburg was not that popular as starting point for emigration. People had to wait for a long time in overcrowded, overpriced accomodations in the city and were maybe already bankrupt before they could leave Germany. There were awful sanitary conditions and epidemic plagues. But then a certain Albert Ballin created the emigration halls in Veddel, a secure accomodation with dormitories, restaurants and even a church. It was like a small town of it´s own for emigrants. These halls were demolished, but some of them rebuilt again for museum purposes.
You can see a rather interesting exhibition, similar to the one at Cap San Diego. It tells you about the fate of single persons, about the procedures to emigrate, and about daily life in Ballinstadt. You can also do reasearch if your relatives were on board of one of those vessels - this is also possibly under www.ancestry.de. By the way, Mr. Ballin killed himself by the end of WW I using poison.
Entrance fee is EUR 9,50.
