It's not in Munster with an umlaut, it's the other one, to the north. And not just battle tanks are on display here. All manner of vehicles used in war are restored and on display here, such as command jeeps, half-tracks, communication vehicles, and so many more. The diverse colors and styles of camouflage are fascinating. Want to see an Israeli Merkava tank up close? How about every model of German tank employed during WW2? And also very modern German tanks like the Tiger and Leopard. Vintage and modern armored staff vehicles as well. One neat display was an impeccably white UN vehicle in full UN livery. A Mercedes tristar emblem adorns the grill, of course. There are several outstanding engine cutaways, but the single most impressive exhibit was a cutaway tank ! Cars and aircraft can be cut away using a can opener, but tanks are a completely different story, as the cutaway amply proves. It's a fantastic exhibit! Fans of small arms mounted on small, maneuverable vehicles will not be disappointed either, given the variety and quality of the armed and armored small vehicles on display, even including their belt-fed machine guns, and the mannequins to operate them. It's incredible. Visit this museum. Schnell !

I've been SO wanting to visit this museum but it is somewhat out of the way so I camped in Soltau…read moreand visited the museum from there (regular erxx trains from Soltau and to get there, you could leave from Hannover). It was more than I could describe, perhaps an earth shaking moment. I could die today and not regret not having completed my must see list. By all means, SEE THIS MUSEUM. There is a gift shop and a tiny cafe, also a private restaurant across the street and a grocery store few blocks away. Almost of the description boards are in German, a few have translations but there are audio guides for those who can't figure out the details.

The Hafen has aged more gracefully than many ports around the world. During the day one will find many places to eat, sit and have a drink, and browse though as they walk along the Elbe. Next off the the HafenCity!

I went there first with the U-Bahn, really fast. Depend on which stations you get off, you will have different views. I also took the boat, it was really a cool way to travel around. and since I have the day ticket, I could travel as much as I want with different popublic transportation.

The crowds aren't terrible in the winter! Note 2: Look at the buildings, not the stuff to buy! Hard to do, but do it! You will notice all the tiny buildings and architecture, a number of them have the year they were built. Look inside the shops - look for the tiny stair cases to the upstairs! We cruised thru the area looking for the oldest buildings, enjoying our walk.
