Days 1-3 cover Old Town, Speicherstadt, Miniatur Wunderland, the harbor, a museum, and the Elbphilharmonie Plaza. Day 4 adds Blankenese’s Treppenviertel and...

The same logic works if you’d rather spend your 2 days in Florence or Venice instead, but Rome has the highest density of must-see sights per euro, which...
