All courses are conducted in German. Hamburg is very modern, has an excellent public transportation system, and offers a lot to do including a varied nightlife. The climate in Hamburg is damp and relatively mild year round, helping to keep it one of Germany's greenest cities.
Winters are full of drizzly, short, gray days.
Consequently, indoor activities flourish in the form of opera, theater, concerts, movies, discos, and so on. Despite the drizzle, there is also plenty to do outside such as visiting Planten und Blomen, the Stadtpark, or Haagenbeck's Tierpark. Roaming St. Pauli and the Reeperbahn with a group of friends is definitely an experience not to be missed.
