Day 3: Market, Technology, Hamburg at Night

We had a long Sunday! We visited Hamburg's famous fish market. It's a must-see place for all visitors as it is Hamburg's most traditional market. From porcelain mugs to all kinds of fish, one can find just about anything in the shadow of the 100-year old fish auction hall. Bananas fly through the air, plastic bags of fish are sold for a low price at the end of the day. The sellers are loud - it's definitely a unique experience. After the fish market, we explored a city park by bike. Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway in the world, and one of the most successful permanent exhibitions in Northern Germany, was our next destination. After dinner, we ended the day on the viewing platform of Hamburg's main Lutheran church, St. Michael's Church, better known locally as the "Michel". After enjoying the 360-degree panorama view of Hamburg by night, we listened to organ music and had some hot chocolate in the tower. Enjoy today's pictures as well as the official video of Miniatur Wunderland (the children's favorite attraction today)!
