to the state-of-the-art Elbephilhamonie sitting on the bank of the Elbe river
But there is a lot more awaiting the visitor in this surprising, welcoming port that seems more Scandinavian than German.The cuisine ranges from the humble but delicious Curry Wurst and traditional Fish Sandwich with herrings and a cold beer
To a fabulous dish of smoked eel on scrambled egg at the Fischereihafen restaurant or smoked fish breakfast at the elegant Louis Jacob Hotel
