Balin: Good food, but the place gets quite crowded and the open kitchen means your clothes will always stink of grease when you leave.

Balin: Host to the 2013 International Garden Show, the site is now a green space in the middle of the island. With water features, a playground and skatepark, it's a great spot for a stroll or family outing.

Balin: Paying tribute to victims and meticulously recounting the methods of the camp and system in which it operated, this memorial does a good job treating a disgusting chapter from Hamburg's history.
