Looking at visiting Hamburg in August. Should I allow 3 days to visit? It seems interesting.

Minimum in my opinion. It all depends on your interests.

If you have 3 full days devoted to Hamburg, or be still even more, then spend it there.
Several historical sites , museums, etc should that be your interest, in the greater Hamburg area. For the general overview, I would suggest a guided bus tour or the harbour tour at Landungsbrücken.

Clear yes. Hamburg has enough sights plus near interesting cities such as Lübeck, Schwerin and Bremen.
If you have a sunny warm day also a 1-day boat trip to isle of Helgoland is a nice option.

I just posted a bit in the other thread (10 days in Germany) about Hamburg and have posted a few other more detailed overviews in the last few years. August is a great time to visit, and three days will feel short. We aren't shy here about calling ourselves the "schönste Stadt der Welt", and most of us actually believe it.
