Hamburg in Your Pocket

New to Hamburg? Lived here ages, but want to know more? This is the handbook for you. A handbook of tips compiled over the last 30 years from English-speaking expats exploring and making Hamburg home, either for a year or two—or forever. Updated regularly, this handbook contains useful information with regard to historical and cultural distinctions, entertainment tips, as well as a great deal of advice about what you might need or want to know about getting your papers and permits to stay in Germany, navigating the school system, buying a car, using public transportation, and even paying your taxes. With over 200 addresses and internet links to tried and tested restaurants, sport facilities, children activities, and much more, we are confident that both newcomers and long-term residents of Hamburg will benefit from these pages. With all this information in one source, you will always know where to look. Hamburg is a beautiful city with lots to offer, this book aims to help you find its beauty and enjoy your experience in Hamburg. And all for a good cause—proceeds from book sales will be donated to a local Hamburg charity.
