This is our second Street Of The World segment where we focus on a specific location with a local street photographer. This week, you're on a 48 hour layover in Hamburg, Germany and Marco Larousse is your guide. You're in for a treat! Discover the best spots to shoot street photography in Hamburg, the best times to be there as well as the safety and cultural considerations to keep in mind.

After you listen to the show, make sure you visit Marco's website, and connect with him on Twitter @HamburgCam

Marco kindly made this great interactive Google Map to match the locations he mentioned on the show. He also marked a few extra buildings, churches and landmarks on the map that are not part of a specific quarter but may be a bonus if someone is close to that area.
