Alter Botanischer Garten

Hamburg is home to the Hamburg State Opera House, one of the leading opera houses in Germany. It holds great historical significance, as in 1678 the first public opera house in Germany was built in Hamburg at Gänsemarkt Square, which is where the opera house is still today.

The western part of the former city wall is nowadays a park area surrounding the inner city as a semicircle, ranging from the Landungsbrücken (Helgoländer Allee) up to Binnenalster. In the Wallanlagen there's a big playground and in the winter an ice rink. There also the impressive Hanseatic Courthouse building.

The Laeiszhalle is the main classical music hall in Hamburg, with two halls: the kleiner Saal and großer Saal. You can see the schedule on their website. For online ticket purchases, use Ticket Online.
