Hamburg, tucked away in the north of Germany, has a personality of its own and should be paid a visit for many reasons. One of the reasons is that it is located near the sea, so the seafood and fish found in this city's restaurants is the finest and most delicious cuisine of Germany. Seven centuries of art can be enjoyed in the museum of Hamburg's Kunsthalle, from medieval to contemporary art. The Hagenbeck Zoo is also a place worth visiting with over 200 different species of animals on the display. As Hamburg is situated beside River Elbe and also house Lake Alster, so you can get plenty of entertaining options like kayaking, swimming, sailing and ice-skating. Some of the interesting festivals of the city are Hamburg Harbor Birthday (Hafengeburtstag), Hamburg's Dom, Stuttgart Wine Village in Hamburg (Stuttgarter Weindorf), Christopher Street Day Parade, Alster Fair (Alstervergnügen), Alster Ice Enjoyment (Alstereisvergnügen), Christmas Market (Weihnachtsmarkt), and Fish Market (Fischmarkt).
