Coming Spring 2026! An explorer’s guidebook to more than 80 fascinating and unusual historical locations in Germany’s second city. A heady mix of the workaday and the cosmopolitan in the port on the Elbe.
Travel writing with a twist, for while Smith takes in Hamburg’s landmark sights, he also digs out spots where few tourists ever venture.
