Getting Started

Hamburg Hauptbahnhof

Hamburg's main station with connecting points to all trains, buses, and subway lines

Bianca Bollmeier
Plan on starting fairly early, perhaps after shortly after breakfast. Make sure you have good walking shoes, an umbrella, and a jacket suitable for the time of year. The winds off the Harbor can be chilly even in summertime and rain is common year round.

Don’t forget your camera – but if you do there are plenty of places to pick up disposable cameras along the way. This tour makes for a full day, but only really encompasses a few miles of walking.

Begin at the Hamburg Hauptbahnhof (the Central Train Station). You can reach the Hauptbahnhof via taxi, bus or via Hamburg’s excellent subway system (The U-Bahn or S-Bahn).
