Paris, Antwerp, Venice, the Ardennes – been there, seen it, done that. Santé selects the best alternatives that are slightly less obvious.
Berlin? Hamburg!
Berlin has long ceased to be the only hip city in Germany. Hamburg is seen as the new German metropolis. The sailors and prostitutes have disappeared, the striptease tents have been transformed into cosmopolitan nightclubs and the harbor has been rebuilt. But Hamburg remains the city of water:no fewer than 2,300 bridges are cheerfully decorated with love locks. You can hang these locks on the bridge together with your lover to eternalize your love. Of course you throw the key in the water.
City with allure
Hamburg also has a very luxurious appearance, with its high mansions, expensive cars, designer shops and grand parks. In the Schanzenviertel district you will find small boutiques and cozy cafes. Do you like art? Then make sure you don't miss the Hamburger Kunsthalle. This art museum has three locations with a total area of 13,000 m². Public transport is also well organized in Hamburg:with this you can quickly and easily cross the entire city.
From €30 you travel within five hours with the Thalys to Hamburg.
