Is This the Best City in Germany? 24 Hours in Hamburg

Hey hey! First time in Hamburg and this city completely won me over. I packed everything into basically 24 hours: This 4k travel vlog includes a walking tour, a sneaky free entry into the most famous building in the city, the Reeperbahn, the red district, a UNESCO warehouse district, the hippest neighborhood in Hamburg and a full red moon to end the night. Here is everything I found out, what amazed me and how the city sounds. FREE ENTRY TIP: Queue in front of the Elbphilharmonie, claim your free Plaza ticket at the box office and you get access to the viewing platform and the whole building. It costs nothing. The views are incredible. Do not skip this.
