Museum of Hamburg History (Museum fur Hamburgische Geschichte), Hamburg

Advantages: Easy to reach. Mixed culture
Disadvantages: Need to be relatively open minded

...A city of many cultures that permits individuals and groups to ‘express’ themselves in their own unique ways. The people there are very liberal and enjoy each others different ideas and cultures. From parks and gardens to the docklands and shopping district, you will all find something appealing here. One of the most interesting places in the Raperbarn area of the city. It is effectively a street in the heart of the city near to the port with an area 100m either side of the road being filled with theatres, bizzares, museums and the obvious sexually orientated bars and clubs.

Advantages: Great lively city; great sights!!
Disadvantages: None really!

Perfect for couples who enjoy fine dining and shopping as well as perfect for families at the fairs and attractions. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting there: Flights to Hamburg are relatively frequent. If you live in the North of England like me then direct... Read review

Advantages: Complete interactive history of Hong Kong
Disadvantages: Quite long for younger children

...This museum charts the entire history of Hong Kong from prehistoric days up until, and past, the handover of power from Britain to China. The museum follows the timescale chronologically starting with dinosaurs. There is an interactive element to some sections which I found helpful as parts of it were long and started to drag. Being more interested in the recent years, I rushed the parts focusing on plants and wildlife, but all sections are in depth and will keep entertained those who have an interest in that particular subject. As I reached the end of the Museum I found myself becoming more and more engrossed and by the time I watched the final video of the handover I didnt want to leave.... Read review
