There were more foodie treats in store for us to experience during our Hamburg city break with a morning visit to Chocoversum, the city's chocolate museum. It's located in the Kontorhaus district with the nearest U-Bahn station being Meßberg on the U1 Line. We joined one of their 90 minute chocolate tours which are offered …

With three days to explore a world of culinary delights and top sightseeing spots in Hamburg I couldn't wait to get off the plane! I'd travelled with KLM from Leeds/Bradford connecting via Amsterdam and with direct flights available from both London and Manchester, the city is easy to reach for a short break from all …

The hotel's restaurant appeared quieter than the previous morning but as breakfast is served between 7.00 and midday on Sundays, perhaps other guests were having a well earned lie in.
