City: Hamburg

Hamburg, Germany's second largest city, is a vibrant and sophisticated metropolis defined by water. Known as 'The Gate to the World' for its gigantic harbour, the city is crisscrossed by a network of canals and dominated by Lake Alster at its heart. From the historic Speicherstadt (warehouse city) and modern HafenCity with its iconic Elbphilharmonie, to the legendary nightlife of the Reeperbahn and alternative neighborhoods, Hamburg combines its Hanseatic pride with cosmopolitan energy and undeniable maritime charm.

The destruction of the war means that the historic old town is very small.

Tips for Train Travel

Cross the Old Elbe Tunnel

Don't just see it from above. Go down the historic elevators and cross the Alter Elbtunnel on foot. The views of the skyline from the other side (Steinwerder) are spectacular and free.

Explore the Treppenviertel in Blankenese

Take an S-Bahn to Blankenese and get lost in the 'stairs district' (Treppenviertel). A labyrinth of alleys and stairs that go down the hill to the river, with dream houses and a Mediterranean atmosphere.

Hanseatic Reserve

Hamburgers may seem distant at first, it's part of Hanseatic culture. It is not coldness, but a form of respect and formality.

Tips ('Trinkgeld')

It is customary to leave a tip of between 5% and 10% in restaurants, or round up the bill, if the service has been good. Simply tell the total amount you want to pay to the waiter.

Tap Water

The tap water is of excellent quality and can be drunk without any problem.

Be careful on the Reeperbahn

The area is safe, but at night it attracts all kinds of people. Keep an eye on your belongings, don't get carried away by scammers and avoid side streets if you're alone. Herbertstraße is only for men over 18 years old.

Attention to Pickpockets

As in any big city, beware of pickpockets in busy places such as the central station, Fischmarkt or public transport.
