Well I don't really agree with your statement that Hamburg is "great for shopping and relaxing" - most other German cities have a lot more culture and interesting sights than this gray industrial port city.

having said that, Hamburg IS great for those who are into clubbing, partying, and sex. It has a world-famous music scene and of course girls. In other words, Hamburg has the charm of a naughty port city, but it doesn't have a lot of interesting things to do there.
