I had no idea that Hamburg offered such a rich maritime history. Sure sounds like you made the best of your visit in spite of the weather. What a great itinerary for a first-time visitor!

In reply to Lori. Yep, there's not much I wouldn't do for anything to do with chocolate!

In reply to Doreen Pendgracs. I think the Chocoversum is the very beginner's level introduction to chocolate production. It would be much too basic for you!

Thx for this fab post, Rachel. I’ve not previously read much about Hamburg. I had no idea it was the 2nd largest cocoa port in Europe! And I’d not previously heard of the Chocoversum. I can’t wait to read your post about it.

Who knew? Found your article really intriguing. Not just the boat tour along the warehouses or the walking tour, but that there’s the Chocoversum. It’s like a pilgrimage.

I was host family to a German college student years ago who was from Hamburg so this was interesting to read. It doesn’t seem like a typical “tourist city” but the maritime history would be something I’d enjoy exploring as you did…and my husband would definitely want to do the Chocoversum tour since he is a chocoholic!
