Hi all,
I know there are some really well traveled people on here.
My wife and I are doing a bit travelling this summer on the train. Starting in Brussels then going to Amsterdam, we then are going into Germany.
Is there any German city that you would recommend for 3 nights in august?
Cheers |  | | |  |

Berlin. |
Seconded. But get the Segway tour from Fat Tyre Bike Hire just off Alexanderplatz. Fcuking great way to see the city. Also get to the Lowenbraukeller close to the Holocaust Memorial (close to Unter den Linden) - steins ahoy! Prost! |  |

Berlin. Great city. Plenty of interesting things going on. The music scene is great but plenty of other creativity.
Second choice Munich. |  |

Any love for Hamburg? I've seen Berlin and Munich, wondering if Hamburg is worth a look. |  | | |

I went to Berlin a year after the wall came down but not been since. By all accounts it is full on.
Hamburg is pretty good and if you want a bit more of a slower cultural pace, Dresden is good.
Colditz is a couple of hours drive away. I went to both a few years back during a MotoGP long weekend to the Sachsenring. |  | | |

Berlin. Absolutely. There's Berlin, and there's Germany (like London and Britain). Nice train ride down from Holland and back, too. Go to the Stasi prison if you can (English language tours on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I think - check online). |  | | |

Obviously you've got to see Berlin, but Munich is a close second - why not do 2 nights in the former and then 1 in the latter? - you can travel south by train pretty easily. |  | | |

been to Cologne, we lost 4-1. My old mate from Batman Close does a Rod Stewart tribute act in Berlin. Look him up on YouTube/ Blackpool Legends | | | |

Aachen is nice, and historic, too. If you don't want to travel too far. It's just over the Dutch/Belgian border. | | | |

Hamburg’s a great city for a weekend mooching about on the pop, but because it was flattened during WWII, it’s not exactly picturesque and this is possibly my ignorance, but it didn’t seem be overly blessed in terms of obvious tourist attractions. Friendly locals and some great bars in and around Sternschanze/Schanzenviertel, St Pauli and Altona. I used to travel to Hamburg regularly to watch Fulham in Europa League semis and finals, but things seem to have gone a bit quiet on that front…
Berlin is a brilliant city — again, not exactly beautiful, but loads to see and do, and ace at night too. Great place to visit at any time of year, but especially so in Spring/Summer with all the outside drinking/eating. |  |

Bomber Harris certainly left his mark. Dusseldorf is a lively place, but looks like it was built in a single weekend in 1959. Munich is the best looking of the big German cities I've seen, surprisingly Italian in appearance with the the baroque architecture. | | | |

Id say Hamburg or Cologne, not too keen on berlin personally but generally the hipster folk love it. Travel in germany can be cheap and berlin and hamburg are quite close (just over an hour) you could do both. | | | |
