Frequently Asked Questions

At one of the city's three terminals. HafenCity puts passengers about fifteen minutes' walk from the centre. Altona, in the former fishing port, sits four or five kilometres from the historic quarter. Steinwerder, on the south bank of the Elbe, is in an industrial zone.
From HafenCity, yes, in about fifteen minutes. From Altona you need the suburban train. From Steinwerder, rely on shuttles or a taxi: walking is not a sensible option through that industrial area.
The Speicherstadt, the largest complex of historic warehouses in the world, UNESCO-listed since 2015. Then the Elbphilharmonie Plaza for the panorama, and the 1897 city hall. That is already a full programme if you would rather not rush.
A district of red-brick warehouses set on oak piles, laid out on a grid of canals crossed by iron footbridges. Coffee, tea and spices that made the fortunes of Hanseatic merchants passed through here. Miniatur Wunderland is tucked inside it too.
Yes. The Plaza, the terrace that wraps around the building 37 metres above the water, is open without attending a concert. From there the eye takes in the basins, the shipyards, the green spires and the copper roofs.
Very much so. Miniatur Wunderland, the largest model railway on the planet, holds children and adults alike for a good two hours. The narrated harbour tour from the Landungsbrücken and the 1911 tunnel under the Elbe are also popular.
The euro. In a city this size cards work almost everywhere, but Germany retains a strong attachment to cash: some cafés, kiosks and markets still refuse electronic payment. Keep notes on you.
Yes, easily. This is an international port city of nearly two million people: English is common in museums, restaurants and on public transport. German remains useful in residential districts.
The U-Bahn and S-Bahn cover the city efficiently and link all three terminals to the centre. A day ticket settles the question. The historic core itself walks very well, from the Speicherstadt to the Alster lakes.
A Hamburg institution since 1703, held very early on Sunday mornings. It therefore only works if your call falls on a Sunday and you are willing to be up before dawn. Otherwise, the Reeperbahn in St. Pauli tells the port's other story.
