Hamburger Kunsthalle
One of Germany's most important art museums, with collections spanning the Middle Ages to the present day, and home to Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer above the Sea of Fog.
The Hamburger Kunsthalle sits just north of Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (Central Station) and is made up of three buildings. Its collection ranges from medieval altarpieces and Dutch paintings by Rembrandt to German Romanticism, Impressionism and contemporary art. The highlight is Caspar David Friedrich's Wanderer above the Sea of Fog, and you'll also find works by Manet, Munch, Klee and others. Adult admission is about €16. The museum is closed on Mondays, and you should allow at least 2 hours. It's a 3-minute walk from the Central Station.
