Things to do in Hamburg

Hamburg, the 'Gateway to the World', is a port city on the River Elbe, and much of its life turns around the harbour. Things to do:

  • Harbour tour: a boat trip on the Elbe, which locals call going 'on the Elbe', gives the best view of the port
  • Fish Market: the Fischmarkt in Altona, a lively place to mix with locals and pick up a souvenir
  • Miniatur Wunderland: a vast model railway exhibition in the Speicherstadt
  • Speicherstadt: the red-brick warehouse district on the canals, a UNESCO World Heritage Site
  • Elbphilharmonie: the concert hall above the harbour, with a public viewing platform looking over the Elbe and the port
  • Alster lakes: the Binnenalster and Aussenalster in the heart of the city, ringed by promenades and crossed by Alster boats
  • St. Michael's Church: the baroque church known as the Michel, whose tower gives views over the harbour and the old town

For nightlife, Hamburg has many clubs and bars, and the streets around the Reeperbahn in St. Pauli are the best known.

How to get to Hamburg city centre

Hamburg Airport has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, linked by the Airport Plaza. Ways to reach the city centre:

  • By S-Bahn: line S1 runs from the airport to Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, the main station, in under 30 minutes
  • By bus: local lines 23, 114 and 292 also serve the airport
  • By taxi: ranks are outside the terminal buildings
  • By hire car: car hire companies have desks at the airport, on the arrivals level of Terminal 2

The S1 is the simplest choice for most visitors: Hamburg Hauptbahnhof is a short walk from the Binnenalster and the shopping streets of the old town, and it connects with the U-Bahn and regional trains.
