Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and you’re wondering how best to spend the most romantic day of the year in Hamburg? For all those who might want to plan something more than just a dinner with flowers this time, we have collected a few inspirations for great shared experiences that could help you:
Boat trip on the Alster
What could be more romantic than a pedal boat trip together on the idyllic Alster for Valentine’s Day? Grab your date, choose one of the various boat rental offers in the city and get out on the water! Here you can spend a few romantic hours together on the river (and work out your leg muscles at the same time).
Enjoy a romantic candlelight concert
Candlelight concerts simply have all the ingredients for the perfect Valentine’s Day: Classical music, impressive architecture and an atmospheric candlelit setting. On Valentine’s Day, you can experience just that at the Ethnological Museum in Hamburg and enjoy a spectacular concert with the most romantic classics of all. Look forward to Moon River, Clair de Lune, My Heart Will Go On and many more sentimental masterpieces that will send you into blissful ecstasy! You can get tickets here.
Chocolate tasting at the Chocoversum
Chocolate in all shapes and colors goes hand in hand with Valentine’s Day, that’s for sure. At the Chocoversum, you can go on an interactive tour of the museum together, experience the preparation process from bean to bar and compose your own bars!
Creative photo shoots in the Studio of Wonders
How about some colorful photo fun for Valentine’s Day? At Studio of Wonders, you can really let off steam in over 30 immersive and highly interactive photo sets and capture countless memories together. Be inspired by impressive optical illusions, pose in infinity rooms or dive into the ball pool! Here you can let your imagination run wild and pose together like never before.
Move closer together while scaring
Admittedly, this tip seems a little counter-intuitive. But it has been proven that getting spooky together and releasing adrenaline brings you closer together. Both physically and emotionally. An unusual date idea could, for example, take you to the Hamburg Dungeon or on a tour of the creepiest places in the Hanseatic city. You can find more information and ideas specifically for this here.
Blankenese staircase district
This must surely be Hamburg’s romantic place par excellence ! Although it’s not exactly in the city center, it has it all: countless winding alleyways, beautiful little houses, a wonderful view over the Elbe and the typical ambience of a former fishing village. All in all, it’s perfect for a walk for two or a few cozy drinks with a wonderful view!
Create a work of art together at Neon Brush
For all art lovers out there, we recommend Neon Brush, the creative painting workshop in the dark! Surprise your partner for Valentine’s Day with an exclusive gift voucher for this colorful spectacle in Hamburg and create a joint work of art with neon colors that you can decorate your living room with afterwards!
Rose garden in Planten und Blomen
There is probably no more classic gift for a romantic occasion than a rose. But what if you gave thousands of roses in more than three hundred different varieties? The rose garden at Planten und Blomen really can be that romantic. Admittedly, the roses may not be in bloom yet, but the cherry trees are almost there – and that’s the perfect excuse for a nice picnic.
Treat yourself to some time out at the spa
The Kaifu-Bad in Wandsbek is the oldest in Hamburg, having been open for more than a hundred years. Here you can find pretty much everything you need to really unwind together. From floating to a year-round outdoor pool, saunas and massages, you can experience a very varied program here that will leave you feeling thoroughly relaxed!
