The sun beats down on the mirror-like lake; swans glide gracefully across the
canal below the white arcades; seagulls cry; from the distant harbour comes
the faint, salty smell of the sea, and close by, a majestic ocean liner
sounds its horn. Hamburg lives and breathes on the water, and if you love
trendy bars, designer hotels and gourmet dining, this is the place for you.
This smart German metropolis is also a hotspot for shopping, with streets
and arcades lined with top high-street stores and unique boutiques.
Only in Hamburg do you find this perfect blend of metropolitan finesse and
maritime flair. And while this lively seaport is Germany’s second-largest
city, it’s Hamburg’s compact centre that best exhibits this unique mix. In
Neuer Wall, the city’s most exclusive shopping boulevard you can stroll past
the flagship stores of international fashion labels while container ships
unload their cargoes just a few hundred metres away. In short, Hamburg
offers something for every taste.
Here’s your chance to get to know the city – we’ve teamed up with CJP Hamburg
to send one lucky Travel reader and friend for a long weekend. You’ll fly
with Lufthansa from Heathrow or Manchester to the north German city, where a
chauffeured Audi A8 saloon will be waiting at the airport to escort you to
the chic Steigenberger Hotel Hamburg. This centrally located five-star, one
of the city’s best addresses, will be your luxurious home for the next three
nights. Here you can unwind in the DaySpa with a complimentary Relaxing
Wellness treatment each, before heading out for dinner at Carls an der
Elbphilharmonie, a new brasserie/bar in the HafenCity.
Also included in this great prize is a dinner for two at Parlament restaurant,
in the City Hall’s historical vaulted cellar; a round trip exploring the
unique urban oasis of Lake Alster onboard a steamer; and two tickets to the
city’s hit musical The Lion King. You’ll even be treated to a guided
shopping spree in upmarket Neuer Wall, where you can splash out guilt-free,
with vouchers worth a total of £1,500 to spend at the Porsche Design Store!
