Valuable Tips for Your Trip to Hamburg
Motorhome rental in Hamburg is usually best between May and September, as this is when the weather is at its best, meaning you can enjoy more time outdoors with your campervan. The summer is good as plenty of festivals and concerts are taking place, which you could take your campervan to. If you want fewer tourists, then April and October are great months.

Nature lovers will be spoilt for choice. Once you head out of the city, there are many lovely green spaces to explore. Atlas Land is one of Europe's largest fruit-growing areas, and Lüneburg Heath Nature Reserve is great for birdwatching, hiking, and cycling.

Another popular festival is the Elbjazz Festival, which brings in people from all over the world with performances across the city. The most popular is down at the harbour. With a motorhome for hire in Lyon, you can easily check them out.
- Harbour and The Waterfront
The harbour is one of the most popular areas in Hamburg, and it's a part of the city you will visit while you are here. Before you head out of the city in your campervan, take a boat tour along the front, which will give you a tour of the port. Then, grab some food in one of the nearby restaurants.
