Hamburg Travel Forum

I have asked this before,but I lost the answer,when we changed the city to go at November,so once again:How long does the train from Bremen to Hamburg take?

And some new questins(I asked about christmas-markets last time,but now it´s the different time of the year)
About the climate:Is there difference between february and march?Is both as rainy and windy and how about the temperature?My husband might have change to choose a little,when he will have his winter-holliday,so we wonder when we should go-I can go when ever I want,I have my own shop.

Is the old town big,and is it lively?I mean like in some town,old town is only old houses,where people live,and somewhere there are little shops and restaurants and so on.

We could fly to Bremen or Bergamo,so I´m wondering witch one to choose.Both one we have been,but when we went to Bremen,we didn´t visit Hamburg.I have been thinking it´s boring town,grey and not beautyful,but now I´ve heard it´s not.

We like museums and old buildings,but I guess there´s enough about them,when I will see the tip-pages.

I'll stay in Hamburg next december and I wonder wether you can recommend me some literature to get into the mood for my holidays...

Btw I'm talking about prose literature, not travel books... For example I'd recommend everybody visiting Vienna to read Stefan Zweig's "World of Yesterday"...

I have a print of a drawing/painting titled "Das Rathaus in Hamburg" Vortag von B.S. Berendsohns in Hamburg. It looks like it was done in the 1800's. Who is the artist? On one side of the print it says C. Laeisz and on the other side is J. Gray sc. Can you tell me a little about this drawing/painting?
Regina Sabiston.
