What you'll see
A square lake right in the centre, ringed by white buildings and a waterside promenade, with a tall fountain in the middle and Alster boats setting off from the Jungfernstieg steps.
A brief history
The Alster lakes were made in the Middle Ages by damming a small river to drive a mill; the Binnenalster was later split off by the 17th-century city walls, where the Lombardsbrücke now runs.
