Three of us in the family will be in Hamburg, Germany for the first leg of our European Tour. We have whole day of March 28 to go around the city. Can anyone give me an idea of the first 3 “must see” places that can be done from morning till night? I will appreciate very much any reply. Thanks

With just a day there, I would catch a sightseeing bus to get to know the place a little and then spend the rest of the day in the Speicherstadt where there are lots of sights in the old warehouses and bridges to cross in between them. If it is a nice day, I would definately consider swapping the bus tour for a boat trip as Hamburg has a fascinating harbour.
Of course not only in Hamburg, but especially in the harbour cities you get everywhere delicious fish dishes and snacks like bread rolls filled with different fishes , e.g heering, salmon, pollack and much more like you want it.
Walking through Hauptbahnhof, even early in the morning, this small sweets/liquer/soft toys/mugs/souvenir shop caught my attention.
It's a very small shop but it's loaded with all kind of sweets, liquers and souvenirs.
The lady at the shop knew no English but her smile and dedication were enough to buy all my souvenirs from this shop.
The shop lady is always gift wrapping souvenirs like mugs filled with sweets together with a soft toy with "Love Hamburg" messages! It has a wide selection of sweets - box / gift wrapped, liquers, mugs, soft toys, flowers & more. Basically that something from Hamburg to take back home. I bought some of each .. dad loved the liquer ... & I loved the sweets.. "Hamburger" - the name I gave the teddy I bought from Arko is still one of my favorites :) ... besides if you're off with the underground or on your way to work you can always buy a handful of sweets Normal prices... quite cheap compared to such souvenir shops...
Hamburg can easily be reached by car. Autobahns 1, 7, 23 and 24 are heading to Hamburg. In town are alot of parking problems. If possible park outside and use public transport.

Since Hamburg is a harbor city, one should really take a boat trip through the harbor including the "Speicherstadt".
The "Speicherstadt" is a whole area of former storage houses for goods transported to and out of Hamburg. All the houses are built out of red bricks and are now very popular to live and to work in.
After 3 hours sleep on Friday night and a whole day exploring Lubeck on Friday and Bremen on Saturday, we were rather exhausted by Sunday morning. However, having read great things about the Fischmarkt, I was determined to get there early to see some of it. The market begins very early - at 5 am I believe - and runs until about approximately 10am. However, as the clocks were going forward this Sunday so we only got there towards the end.
Despite its name, there is far more than fish on sale at the Fischmarkt. When we arrived, the fruit sellers were offering whole boxes of fruit for 1 Euro...if only we had a car. My favourite section was the indoor area at the western end of the market, where there was a folk band entertaining the crowd. The people here were knocking back beers like it was a Saturday night rather than a Sunday morning. I was tempted to join them but we had a whole day of sightseeing ahead of us...
