German here. The Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg is really something very special and anyone who has been to Hamburg but hasn't visited the Miniatur Wunderland has made a big mistake.
You should try Trier, the oldest city in Germany and the birthplace of Karl Marx. It’s lies in the Moselle valley full of vineyards and Marx based his idea of exploitation of the proletariat on his observations of the workers picking the grapes. I never read that anywhere before until I found it out at the Karl Marx museum. There’s a fairly intact amphitheater and basilica and Roman baths which are ruins as well as the entrance to the city, the Porta Nigra which is in very good condition considering it’s a few thousand years old. Trier or Treveris was known as the Rome of the north.
@@DocyinDeutschland I know all the best tourist places in the region. France and Luxembourg and Belgium are also an hour or so away. My nearest IKEA is in Belgium.
