Hamburg

The Elbe River, lakes and canals, the historic Town Hall, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus District with Chilehaus, the nightlife on the famous Reeperbahn and the traditional Hamburg fish market shape the image of Hamburg, Germany’s green city on the waterfront. The HafenCity offers modern architecture and the new landmark, the concert hall Elphilharmonie. In Hamburg — Germany's second biggest city — prestige, elegance and creativity are combined to create an edgy, modern vibe.

Karolinenviertel
Marktstraße, Hamburg

Colourful, alternative, creative and enticing, the market street in the Karolinen district shows that it can be on par with the big shopping streets and centres in the Hanseatic city. Nevertheless, the area retains its particular vibe. The exceptional position of the Karolinen district has helped maintain its vibrant, village character.

Hamburg Airport (HAM)
Flughafen Hamburg, Flughafenstraße 1, Hamburg

The ultra-modern Hamburg Airport close to the city centre offers quick arrival options and easy access to all national and international destinations.

You will find an overview of the most important connections to public transport with the latest schedule on the official website of Hamburg Airport.

Lübeck Airport (LBC)
Flughafen Lübeck, Blankenseer Straße 101, Lübeck

Lübeck Airport is a smaller airport located 8 km (5.0 mi) south of Lübeck and 54 km (34 mi) northeast of Hamburg. It is the secondary airport for the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, after the much bigger Hamburg Airport (HAM). Sometimes you will even see the airport called 'Hamburg Lübeck' for marketing purposes. You can get from Lübeck Airport to Hamburg by train (via Lübeck Hbf). This trip should take you about 1.5 hours. You can make the same trip by bus, but it will take you a while longer — about 2.5 hours.
