Hamburg Tripel Tips

Secret local tips from our PIERDREI Hamburgers.

City Beach: Elbstrand

3 Tours for ­small money

LAUNCH HARBOUR CRUISE

For all insider tip fans and savers, there is also the HVV ferry line 62 from Landungsbrücken as an alternative to the boat trip. The ferry runs a great route and has an outside deck.
Extra tip: An HVV day ticket is available at all HVV ticket machines and online. With this ticket, you can use all public transport in Hamburg for the whole day. The 9 o'clock group ticket is worthwhile for groups of 2 or more, as you will save a few extra euros. 
 
Tickets for the classic boat trip around the harbour are available from us at reception.

 

CITY TOUR WITH THE RED BUS- HOP-ON & OFF

In case you don't fancy the babble of the city tour buses: The HVV bus line 111, from the Osakaallee stop, also stops at many Hamburg hotspots such as the Michel, the Reeperbahn, the fish market and the Elphi.
Fun fact: every 111 seconds, this bus passes one of Hamburg's 16 most famous sights. 

If you want to take the red double-decker buses that you see driving around Hamburg, you can buy tickets at the reception.

 


ST. PETRI KIRCHE

The Church of Saint Peter is one of Hamburg's five main churches. Its tower was once the highest in the city and even today, visitors can still enjoy a fantastic view of the Hanseatic city from a height of 123 metres.

MARITIME MUSEUM

All hands on deck! The Maritime Museum is located in one of the most beautiful buildings in the Speicherstadt, just a few steps away from our hotel. Ships, submarines and adventures from the high seas await visitors.

3 Scenic walks­trough Hamburg

ELBE TUNNEL

More Hamburg is not possible! The old Elbe tunnel starts at the Landungsbrücken and runs about 500 metres under the Elbe to Steinwerder. Not only a photogenic walk, but also a culinary one! On the other side, in addition to a great view over the Elbe, one of Hamburg's best fish sandwiches awaits you.

 

ENTENWERDER PARK

It's not just the ducks that swim in Entenwerder Park. Our favourite café Entenwerder1 is also floating on the water. You can really unwind on a walk to and in the park.
We recommend: Always take the route along the water!

 

PLANTEN UN BLOMEN

There is so much to discover in Hamburg's Central Park. The Japanese Garden, the Park Café, mini golf and (in summer) nightly water light concerts.

DIALOGUE IN THE DARK/SILENCE

Outdoor

PLAYGROUNDS

The Grasbrookpark and Lohsepark playgrounds are within walking distance and offer a great way to get rid of the energy you've built up from the long journey.

4. Hansa Steg

 

SCHWARZE BERGE GAME PARK

Almost everyone in Hamburg is familiar with the cute pot-bellied pigs from the Schwarze Berge Wildlife Park. If you make the journey, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city for an afternoon, immerse yourself in nature and observe the animals.
