Power Pass
by AnnaLupilla
Power Pass is a great institution for people under the age of 30. It allows free access to an awful lot of sights, or at least gives discounts on many entrance fees, pubs, bars and discos. It's MUCH more worth it than Hamburg Card!!! Besides you may use every kind of public transportation there is for FREE, for the amount of days you have your Power Pass with you. The Pass costs you 6,70€ for the first day, you can buy up to seven days, day two to seven cost only 3€ each!
Horseriding / Horse racing
by chris.hh
A special interest tip - for horse sport lovers: In Hamburg there is the most important German Race every year at the Horner Rennbahn. One week in June there are 2,400 meter races with horses from Germany and abroad. Special is that just 20 are allowed to start, and horses just are allowed to start once in their lifetime - with the age of three years.
The race takes place in Hamburg for more than 130 years and it is supposed to be the most important one in Germany, the highlight of the sports-year and known world wide. Also, it is one of the oldest races taking place somewhere else than in UK.

The St. Michaelis...
by PartyRambo
The St. Michaelis church.
Originally built between 1649 and 1661, it has burned down 3 times, the latest during World war II. However, the city has rebuilt the exterior (and interior!) to its original look.
There's a beautiful balcony that curves around the interior.
