"The Walrus Bar" Hamburg won't become a museum - instead, it has a whole different, young cocktail culture. It seems like it's the city's hot Tinder point.

"Zweiradperle" is the best bike rental shop in Hamburg - I love the wide range of accessories they also rent out. It also doubles as a café.

"Kinderbücherei Bahrenfeld BüBa" Hamburg is a very small library packed with children's book plus very nice staff. Come here to see a library full of love!
