This is my entry for the weekly Budget Travel Adventures series “Where in the world am I?”
Do you have any ideas about the place in the photo above? Please be as specific as you can about city and location. Leave your guess in the comment section below by Thursday, July 28th at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. One winner will be randomly selected from those who answer correctly and announced in this blog post, on Facebook and Twitter with links to their blog and social media pages.
Clue #1: The buildings is this photo are facing a lake in this city that has three rivers and numerous canals. This city is also a major shipping port.
Clue #2: It is the 2nd largest city in its country.
Clue #3: This city’s red light district is a key place in the history of The Beatles. And it’s NOT Liverpool or anywhere else in the U.K.
Further hints might also be given on my Facebook fan page throughout the day on Wednesday and Thursday. Multiple guesses are allowed!

I’m going to take a wild guess on this one and say Brussels. I will need more hints though!
My first thought is Vienna, Austria…
IT looks super familiar but I’m blanking on the place… ahh! Good luck everyone!
it’s that Rotterdam
Hmm I’m torn between two rivers. I think it’s Seine River in Paris?
How about Rotterdam, The Netherlands? 🙂
This is way too hard for me… 🙂
Antwerpen in Holland?
Stockholm Sweden
Bergen Sweden
I guess if it’s not the second biggest city in the Netherlands, then it must be the second largest city in Belgium. My final guess is Antwerp!
Hamburg, Germany! Great photo and love the clues!
Woo hoo! Marianne got it! The photo was taken in Hamburg Germany on Binnenalster (Inner Alster Lake).
Thanks to all who participated and followed along.
Been in Hamburg a million times… can’t believe I missed this.
Oh, wonderful photo! I missed the chance. Darn me, I won’t get it even if I did. My guess was somewhere in London. I’ll look forward for another one. 🙂
