There’s more to Germany than beer and Berlin. And in its second-largest city, Hamburg, you’ll find it all. So, here’s how we’d spend the day in this canal-filled city 🇩🇪

🕖 Morning
After waking up in the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten – a 19th-century lakeside mansion that’s one of the finest in the city. Kickstart your day with a yoga session in Roots Yoga’s light and airy studio.

Then, go to the famous Fischmarkt to try fischbrötchen – a traditional Hamburgese breakfast (fish sandwich with pickles and rémoulade sauce). Once replenished, hop on a harbour boat tour to see some of the city’s best bits like the Elbphilharmonie concert hall.

🕖 Afternoon
Stop by Henriks for a bite to eat followed by a refreshing drink at the Supper Club’s canal-side bar to make the most of the sunshine. At the former, you’ll order the likes of truffle risotto, and at the latter, a limoncello spritz.

Next, get ready to shop ‘til you drop at Eppendorf (affectionately known as Hamburg’s little Notting Hill) where you’ll browse its boutique shops. But if it’s high-end brands you’re after, head to Neuer Wall – a shopping street lined with luxury labels.

🕖 Evening
Get dressed to kill for a killer dinner at Tortue Hamburg’s brasserie – a German-inspired French fare using the finest ingredients. Make sure to order the garlic butter snails and beef bourguignon.

Cap off your perfect day in Hamburg with a sundowner at the Fontenay Bar’s rooftop terrace to enjoy its 320-degree views over Alster Lake and collection of creative and classic cocktails.

Education whilst on vacation? It’s more fun than you’d think.

That’s why Quintessentially Education has shared four cities that’ll help your children stay on track with their studies whilst exploring the world. And they are...

📕 Barcelona, Spain
Whilst you’re exploring the city’s tapas bars, your children will be exploring the world of sustainable fashion with hands-on workshops where they’ll upcycle their own pieces.

📕 Athens, Greece
Think Athens is just about ancient history? Think again. Its olive oil industry also makes it a great place to learn about agriculture, biology, chemistry, economics, and engineering.

📕 Las Vegas, USA
With its glitzy casinos, it’s easy to forget that Las Vegas is actually a city in a desert. So, it makes ripe territory for exploring geography, science, history, and even art with a resident tutor.

📕 Catania, Sicily
There’s no better place to learn about Mount Etna than exploring the real deal. Students will visit the volcano’s slopes to analyse its hardened lava tracks from past eruptions.

Our education experts can source travelling tutors who’ll help broaden your children’s minds this summer. Email [email protected] to learn more about our services.

So, here are five fab festivals to add to your calendar.

🎤 Ultra Music Festival 2024 – Hong Kong/Japan

The 10th anniversary of the Jakarta-based festival will host multi-genre acts such as South Korean DJ Peggy Gou, American rapper Russ, and Japanese singer-songwriter Joji.

Independence Day – the Quintessentially way 🇺🇸

Here’s how we ensured our members celebrated the Fourth of July in style yesterday…

🎉NYC
We arranged tickets to Nubulez’s Red, White & Views party on the 50th-floor bar, complete with cocktails, bites, and views of the fireworks.

🎉 Los Angeles
We secured spots at the Red, White and Bootsty white party at Nobu Malibu – an adults-only night of glitz, glam, and A-lister sightings.

🎉 Miami
We made sure they had the best views of the Miami fireworks display by securing reservations at Baia Beach Club and chartering a yacht for them to take it all in from the water.

🎉 The Hamptons
We planned a lot of backyard bashes (including organising private chefs and live performances), as well as securing VIP access to the Loud Luxury performance at Gurney’s Beach Club.

🎉 US-wide
And they – and their families – watched the home games of the Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox from the best seats in the ballpark.

But we don’t just make magic happen on the fourth. Our offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami ensure our members experience the extraordinary every day – find out more about a US Quintessentially membership at the link in bio.
