“Ich kenne die Ballinstadt in der vorherigen Version, die mir auch mit Kindern gut gefallen hat. Das neue Konzept hat nur noch am Rande mit der Auswanderung vor 1934 zu tun. Das finde ich sehr bedauerlich. Die Ausstellung kann ich nicht empfehlen.”
Hamburg Kunstmeile 3-day art ticket with access to 6 galleries, 4,000 years of art, and contemporary photography across the city.
“I had a good time for sure. Managed to only visit 3 of the 5 exhibits and museums because of how vast and deep they are, however, I didn’t have much time either in my locker, whereas if someone is travelling just to do some tourism here, this ticket is excellent value for money if you have time to just go around and tick things up one by one.”
MK&G museum ticket in Hamburg next to Hauptbahnhof, $16 per person. Explore design from antiquity to today, with bilingual exhibits.
Explore the FC St. Pauli Museum at Millerntor Stadium with the KIEZBEBEN exhibit, plus 110+ years of club and neighborhood history for $8.
