SUGGESTED DAYTRIP:
Many people have the idea that Hamburg is located on the North Sea coast. Don't go looking for the beach, however, as Hamburg is approximately 60 miles from the Baltic and the North Sea. The closest you can get to a seaside feeling is sitting on the banks of the river Elbe where you can watch the ships and the tides come and go. While away a summer evening with the locals by a campfire and enjoy the ultimate Hamburg summer vibe.
