February is a great time to visit the city. You can escape heavy crowds and higher rates. But the weather may still be chilly, so it’s best to go for the many indoor activities in Hamburg. Check out the kid-friendly attractions, such as the Maritime Museum, the Chocolate Museum and the Miniatur Wunderland .If you want outdoor fun, head to Planten un Blomen, which looks surreal in winter with its snow-covered trees and sparkling ice-skating rink. Tierpark Hagenbeck is open year-round but closes around 4:30 pm in winter due to early darkness. Still, you can spend hours at the zoo enjoying its exhibits.
