City Park, Hamburg

Covering an area of 150 hectares, the Stadtpark is Hamburg's second biggest park and a magnet for joggers, cyclists and sunbathers during the warm summers. The lake is a great place for a swim (temperature permitting) and sport enthusiasts may find themselves being asked to join in a game of football with the locals. The southern part of the park contains a garden for the blind, while a fantastic Planetarium is located in the north-western section. On balmy summer nights films and concerts (often by some of the biggest names in the music business) take place on the open-air stage; an experience not to be missed for visitors here in the summer.
