A good reason to have a weekend in Hamburg is to go for the yearly Hamburg tennis open. You get to spend Saturday in Rothenbaum Stadium watching some of the best tennis players in the world compete with each other, finish off the day with a delicious dinner and a stop at the wine bar. Sunday you can go explore the city, test out new cafes and if your up for go watch more tennis. This is pretty much exactly what we did. It’s the perfect little weekend get away.
Hamburg is a 6 hour train ride from The Hague. Despite the constant delays of Deutsche Bahn you are able to get there without too much delay, giving you lots of time to explore the city. I’ve been to Hamburg a couple of times and it never disappoints. It’s a gorgeous city with lots to do and see. You can go for a stroll around the Alster lake or have an aperol at one of the many bistros on the street corner.
