Germany
Very nice rolling countryside, interesting towns, established bike routes which show our own up.
Alex is a great place to meet up with people for a drink or a snack. Sit outside for a great view over the Binnenalster on one side, or watch the shoppers go by on the other.
Alex, Alster Pavillion, Jungfernstieg 54. The nearest subway is Jungfernstieg.
YoHo Hamburg is a very stylish hotel aimed at the post-backpacker market. It’s basically an upmarket youth hostel which is reasonably priced and in a great location. Highly recommended.
Vibrant part of Hamburg with interesting shops and laid-back multicultural population. In walking distance to the river Elbe with its lovely beach where you are always sure to find people BBQ-ing (weather permitting).
Get yourself a day ticket or group day ticket for public transportation, which is phenomenal. S-Bahn (underground) stop Altona is what you want.
If you're having problems, don't be afraid to ask someone! Contrary to what many believe, the Hamburgers are quite fond of the English, and almost everyone speaks English, so no worries. Have fun.
One of the best beer gardens in the city, on the south side of the Stadtpark.
Südring 44;
Metro stop: Borgweg
