Hamburg is an eclectic city, with modern shops, winding canals, fresh seafood, and plenty of history. We spent a quick day trip exploring the city. I was in awe of the mix of architectural styles, from the brick expressionist Chilehaus built in the 1920s to Kirche St. Nicholas, the tallest building in the world during the late 19th century.
