Hamburg is modern city with a century-old history, which, it would seem, should "seduce" any traveler to cultural discoveries. However, in reality, most of the architectural structures harmonize quite well with shopping centers and other entertainment venues, but in truth, they do not attract attention at all, at least that was the case with me).

But it turned out only at first glance, in fact, having visited the central and historical part of Hamburg, the city opened for me in the light of a charming place that is replete with canals, seaports, as well as cobbled bridges and modern bridges, which, according to local residents, are more here than in Venice itself :).

But be prepared to leave the ships and sea romance for breakfast-lunch-dinner. Because the night "dessert" in the form of real frivolity, emancipation and a sea of ​​alcohol, you will see at every step, because this atmosphere of carelessness will haunt you on any day of the week and on any street. It seems that even the historical part of the city with the arrival of darkness radically changes its appearance.

Usually no one is ready for such a turn of events. In any case, my companions and I were definitely not there. But soon the effect of surprise is replaced by interest and the desire to "plunge" into the cultural, domestic and club life of Hamburg.

After visiting this city, I can say with confidence that it is a huge center of all sorts of contrasts, where everyone can feel as cozy and comfortable as possible.

That is why everyone who is ready for great adventures will be able to "feel" and discover this metropolis for himself.

How to get to them? By plane, car or train? We'll find out now).

How to get there

Getting to Hamburg is quite easy today. Despite the fact that the main flow of tourists begins their study of the German land precisely from Berlin, Hamburg, as the second largest city, is also a popular destination.

Whether you are on holiday in this metropolis, see and admire Hafencity or go on a business trip - whatever your plans, you can easily get to Hamburg by plane, train, bus or car. In general, according to your taste and wallet. :)

By plane

Perhaps it's not a secret for anyone that the fastest, most comfortable and convenient way to travel is an airplane. Direct connections to Hamburg can be taken from and, and.

Flight options

Every day, an Aeroflot flight takes off from the capital's Sheremetyevo Airport, which spends about three hours in the air. From St. Petersburg Pulkovo, a Rossiya Airlines plane takes off daily and spends 2.5 hours in the air.

Personally, I have had occasion to fly with Aeroflot from Moscow, as this seems to be the easiest option. By the way, I didn’t have a problem to save on the flight, so I bought a ticket for a “standard” cost, which varies from 180-200 EUR, or about 12,500 rubles (round trip).

But if you are a budget traveler, then you should pay attention to such life hacks as:

• subscription to the Aeroflot newsletter, where discounts sometimes slip;
• monitoring prices on specialized search engine sites, for example,.

Airport in Hamburg

Hamburg has three airports. One of them is intended for cargo aircraft, and the other two are for passenger airliners. But Russian travelers are more interested in the Flughafen Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel airport, since it is he who receives domestic aircraft. For your information, it is worth mentioning that the Lübeck airport is located near Hamburg. However, it is only popular with small private European carriers. That's why let's talk about Flughafen Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel.

Here I would very much like to note that this airport is one of the busiest, so my advice to you is: try to think over your actions in advance and move rather dynamically. Otherwise, you may just get lost, or a crowd of rushing Chinese tourists you will simply be led astray. By the way, it was just like that with me, and heading to one terminal, I ended up at the other :). By the way, there are two of them at the Hamburg airport.

How to get to the city

Getting from the airport to the central part of the city will not be difficult. Due to the large passenger traffic, there are too many options for moving the "Fullsbüttel - center". So to speak, for every taste and wallet.

Express route

I would strongly recommend using the branded express route, if only because I myself was among its passengers. It seemed to me that this option of moving is not so bad. The express route is a bus that runs every 15 minutes from the main airport stop to the very center of the city. The trip will cost 6 EUR or 370 rubles, and the time will take about thirty minutes.

By the way, one cannot but say that simple buses run from the same stop: No. 274 and No. 292. The fare there is two times lower, but the time spent on the way is twice as much.

Underground

If you have small bags or if it is convenient for you to ride the subway with suitcases, then you can use this option. There is a huge sign directly in front of the terminals, and behind it there is a staircase, along which you can go down to the underground station Hamburg Airport (Flughafen). By the way, it is located on the S1 line (S-bahn / land lines). The trip itself from the airport to the center will take about half an hour. Trains leave in almost 7 minutes, and the cost will be 3.5 EUR or 220 rubles.

Taxi

If you are traveling with your children or with sooo much luggage, then I would recommend using a taxi service. You do not need to order it, you just need to leave the airport building - there will be about a hundred cars, the drivers of which will be happy to offer their services. The prices are the same for everyone, and a trip to the center will cost about 40 EUR or 2,500 rubles. But here it is worth saying that if you are as polite as possible and ask for a discount, then most drivers will give up a couple of euros. It seems to be nothing, but very nice :)

By train

For all those who are afraid of flying and prefer to travel to their destination by train, there is the option of getting to Hamburg using railroad... However, here it is worth mentioning that the time spent on the way will be longer, the ticket is more expensive, and direct routes - Hamburg have not yet been launched.

Due to such a large number of "buts", the most optimal and convenient option would be a train from Moscow to the capital of Germany, the city. And from there, any traveler can easily get to Hamburg by changing to another train or even to a high-speed train.

The Hamburg-Mitte area is one of the quietest. Despite the fact that this is a center and there are always a lot of people there, tourists do not have to worry about their safety. However, this does not mean at all that you should lose vigilance.

Harburg

Harburg is a small area located near the center. It cannot boast of iconic sights and memorable places and, probably, this explains the fact that there are catastrophically few hotels there. Nevertheless, I would advise you to take a closer look at this area, since the prices for renting rooms there are affordable, and the area itself is quiet and clean.

Bergedorf

A place with quite comfortable living conditions. If you decide to stay there, you can visit a large number of parks and squares every day. In addition, you will have the opportunity to admire the medieval castle, the territory of which is strewn with a large number of fountains, surrounded by beautiful flower beds.

There are catastrophically few hotels in Bergedof. However, if you want your vacation to be calm and quiet, and when you go out into the street, you do not find yourself in a rushing crowd, then choose this area for living.

On a note

From my own experience, I can say that the choice of hotels, hostels or apartments in an apartment building is quite difficult. That is why, if you have the time and energy, I would recommend looking for several housing options in advance. And only then visit them all in one day to make the right choice.

Even if you are traveling to Europe, whose residents are famous for their honesty and openness, it is still worth remembering that some of the services described on the Internet do not always coincide with reality. Therefore, it is better to spend a little more time, energy and nerves, but play it safe and not ruin your vacation :).

What are the prices for rest

As paradoxical as it may sound, Hamburg is several times more expensive than Berlin. That is why, once in this German "Venice", you need to be prepared for the fact that your wallet will empty at a breakneck speed. However, if you are a budget traveler and are ready to look for profitable options, then you can certainly do without losses for your budget.

In the meantime, consider spending on one standard day of living in Hamburg under the "do not deny myself anything" program).

Lodging

I talked about it above, and also gave the average rental price. Therefore, everything is simple here. For accommodation for a day, you will have to spend about 50 EUR.

Nutrition

It's no secret that prices in cafes and restaurants in the city center are much higher. Therefore, if you are not embarrassed by the prospect of eating right on the street, then feel free to stand in line for street food. It's tasty, filling, and relatively inexpensive. So, for one full meal in such an establishment, you will pay about 5–7 EUR. By the way, this is three times cheaper than visiting a cafe on the same street.

The cultural program

The entrance to churches and temples in Hamburg is free, but you will have to pay for tickets to most museums. However, these cultural sites quite often arrange promotions and all kinds of discounts. Of course, you never know when you will hit them and when you will not. Therefore, my advice to you: look for companions in line at the ticket offices, since at the entrance to most museums, you can save money if you are walking in a group of 5 or more.

Usually we did just that - we approached couples who were already in the checkout line and asked if they wanted to deceive the cashier a little and save money by saying that we were together). And nobody has refused us yet. Well, and so, if you go to the museum alone and pay for a full ticket without discounts and promotions, then be prepared to pay 5–7 EUR.

Travel

Hamburg's public transport fares are quite high. In addition, the entire city is divided into zones, and the fare increases exponentially if you go outside the central part of the city. In general, this is an extremely complex system, in which, it seems, the locals themselves have not yet fully figured out.

That is why I would recommend purchasing the Hamburg Card. This ticket is valid for 1, 3 or 5 days per adult. Among other things, you will receive a nice bonus in the form of a discount on sightseeing tours, visits to museums, theaters and galleries. The price of such a ticket starts from 9.9 EUR.

Major attractions. What to see

Hamburg has been cultural center Northern Germany. That is why there are quite a few sights and memorable places on the territory of the city that can conquer even the most discerning tourists.

Well, let's start studying the most popular and unusual ones?).

Top 5

There are a lot of attractions in Hamburg, and they are all so different that during the first days of my stay in the city I was simply lost. But, collecting all thoughts in a bunch and curbing all my emotions, I will highlight the top 5 memorable places in Hamburg that everyone should visit.

"Miniature Wonderland"

This is the grandest and largest railway model in the entire world. Probably, this fact alone becomes a clear reason to look into the area of ​​the former port warehouses of Speicherstadt and personally admire the scale of this "Miniature Wunderland".

The construction of this model began in the 2000s. But then no one could even imagine that this attraction would become one of the most visited in all of Germany.

Today "Miniature Wonderland" has eight thematic areas, and also has about twelve kilometers railway tracks, which are presented on a scale of 1:87.

All this splendor, which we all dreamed of in childhood, is located on an area of ​​more than 1,500 square meters.

Zoo "Hagenbeck"

It seems to me that it is simple perfect place recreation for travelers with children. From my own experience, I can say that an adult tourist will be terribly interesting there. The uniqueness of "Hagenbeck" lies in the fact that it is one of the first zoos in the world, where the most natural natural conditions for the animals living there. That is, in many enclosures you can see birds and animals on real trees, rocks, in waterfalls and lakes.

Thanks to this, the animals themselves do not experience stress and are completely liberated. And observing the representatives of the fauna in their natural habitat is always entertaining for a visitor of any age.

Speicherstadt

Speicherstadt, or as the locals used to call it, Speicher is Hamburg's unspoken calling card. This place is a mini-city, which is woven from centuries-old warehouse buildings. The mysterious and mysterious atmosphere of this landmark is also given by the fact that it is located near the port of Hamburg.

The construction of this warehouse complex began back in 1883. However, its appearance has changed over time, and the building underwent the most extensive restoration after the Second World War.

Today, the narrow canals of the Speicher are perceived as a historical, architectural and natural landmark. I would recommend everyone to visit a water excursion along these canals, the beauty and grandeur of which is still difficult for me to compare with anything.

Hamburg City Hall

The Town Hall is located in the heart of Hamburg. Its construction began in 1886 and, despite the military past of the camp, this building has been preserved in its original form to this day. The building is located in the central square, so it is difficult to get around or not notice.

Most of all in the Town Hall I was impressed by the tower clock and the magnificent façade. It is difficult to imagine that such a thing could have been built more than a century ago. Of course, for those who do not like architecture, the Town Hall will not be a discovery at all.

However, I want to note that it is surrounded by a beautiful, wide area, which is strewn with cafes, bars, shops and souvenir shops. In addition, a small Alster lake spills near the Town Hall, which has long been a part of this building.

Rota Flora

This is a small, not legalized area, which has grown around the former theater, which was located in the Schatzenviertele quarter. Today it is a rainbow-colored street, where you can meet a large number of street musicians, artists and magicians. By the way, keep in mind that this attraction is not in the guidebook, and, perhaps, many do not consider it a memorable place.

But I really liked Rota Flora. There is some other, lively, cozy and very warm atmosphere. But don't forget: Despite the fact that the Schatzenviertele is quite an attractive neighborhood, there are many crooks and thieves among the street performers. Therefore, if you decide to look there, be extremely careful.

Beaches. Which is better

Due to the fact that Hamburg is on the river, in the summer locals and guests of the city can enjoy themselves on the beach. To be honest, Hamburg is definitely not azure coast Nice, although it is just as clean and comfortable. And in fact, there are very few beaches in Hamburg. The most popular and suitable for relaxation is the beach located right in the center of the city, on the Elbe. Close to the city port and the Hamburg fish market.

(on the map the beach is marked by one of the attractions, which is located right on its territory)

It is equipped with typical attributes such as sun loungers, umbrellas, ice cream tents and soft drinks. A plus or a minus (for each in his own way) is the fact that huge industrial ships often sail across the river in which vacationers swim at a fairly close distance. Therefore, I would not advise you to swim far, and indeed swim in this river. But it is definitely worth walking along the coast, admiring the landscapes and ships sailing away somewhere in the distance.

Churches and temples. Which are worth visiting

There are quite a few churches in Hamburg. Most of the religious buildings are located in the heart of the metropolis. I was lucky to visit almost every one. I'll tell you more about the most interesting ones.

Church of St. Nicholas

The Church of St. Nicholas is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever visited. Currently, it serves as a kind of memorial in memory of the soldiers who died in the war. It is noteworthy that today we can only observe the main tower, which was erected in the neo-Gothic style. The main part of the building was destroyed during the Second World War.

But even despite this, the Church of St. Nicholas really fascinates and conquers with its grandeur. By the way, enough interesting fact is that in 1874 the bell tower, which has survived to this day, was called the tallest structure in the whole world. True, she could only wear this proud title for two years. Today, the height of the bell tower is 147 meters.

The address of the church is Willy-Brandt-Strasse e 60, 20457.

St. Petri Church

Mönckebergstrasse

Mönckebergstrasse has long been considered a shopping street that attracts a large number of visitors. Today, it houses not only shops and souvenir shops, but also a large number of interesting memorable places.

This is why Mönckebergstraße is so great for easy walking. There you can escape the heat by the old Mönckeberg fountain or go to the St. James Church. On the same street, there are many old, but at the same time luxurious and elegant houses, designed in the same style.

Jungfernstieg

Mönckebergstrasse intersects with another old city street, which, frankly, attracted my attention much more. This is the Jungfernstieg tourist street.

One side of it is replete with old buildings, which are decorated with columns and panoramic windows. And on the other side there is an incredibly beautiful embankment, from where you can see the city hall. There is also a pier where you can buy a ticket for a pleasure boat. By the way, I still regret that I missed this opportunity.

What to see in 1 day

Once in Hamburg for just a day, head straight for the city center.

• 09:00. In the morning, be sure to visit the Plants and Flowers Park, which I wrote about above. Enjoy the beauty and vibrant colors.
• 12:00. Walk along the promenade during the day, as it is quite common to watch pleasure and merchant boats sail from 12:00 to 16:30. It is indeed a very beautiful and spectacular sight.

By the way, before you come to the embankment, do not forget to buy a bun to feed the seagulls. They got so used to people that they became practically tame :).

• 17:00 ... And devote the evening to shopping in a series of many shopping centers and small souvenir shops.

As for snacks or full meals, in the center you can also find many interesting establishments with reasonable prices and delicious dishes. I'll talk about cafes, bars and restaurants further).

What to see in the vicinity

As I already said, in Hamburg there are catastrophically few parks where one could calmly relax, have a picnic, ride a bike and just enjoy nature. That is why you can make up for lost time outside of Hamburg, in addition, it is there that there are several pretty interesting natural places.

"Heide Park"

"Heide Park" is located 70 kilometers from Hamburg. It is not only a place where you can walk along paths between luscious green bushes and enjoy the bright flowers in the flower beds, but also an area strewn with a large number of various attractions. They are all scattered around the lake, which is home to swans and ducks. By the way, on one of the banks the "White House" was recreated, which houses an expensive restaurant.

In "Hyde Park" there is entertainment both for young visitors, who can feel like real racers of Formula 1, and for their parents, for whom roller coasters and other extreme entertainment were built.

Entrance cost:

• Children from 3 to 11 years old - 39 EUR;
• Adults - 46 EUR.

How to get there

You can get to the park from Hamburg by taking a train or bus that goes to the Soltau Han or Wolterdingen train stations. And already from those stations there is a bus every hour that will take you right to the entrance to the park.

By the way, from my own experience I can say that it is better to use a transfer. Many travel companies arrange day trips. From a financial point of view, it comes out a couple of euros more expensive, but in time - much faster and more reliable.

Safari Park Serengeti Park

In my opinion, Serengeti Park is one of the most interesting parks in all of Germany. Today the territory of the safari park stretches over 200 hectares, which have become home to thousands of exotic animals. Throughout this area, you can drive around both in a private car and sightseeing bus.

I think it's more interesting on my own car, although excursion tour with other tourists did not spoil my impressions at all. In general, the safari park is divided into two zones. On the territory of one, wild animals live, which are interesting to observe in their natural habitat. Serengeti Park has lakes favored by flamingos, rocks that have become a haven for mountain goats, and a large number of jungles that have turned into favorite place monkeys.

The territory of the second zone boasts "harmless" animals that you can stroke, feed and even hold in your arms. These are rabbits, pigs, chickens, sheep and lemurs. In addition, the safari park has play areas, attractions, playgrounds and a host of other entertainments.

Ticket prices:

• Adults - 27 EUR;
• Children under 12 years old - 22 EUR;
• Children under 3 years old - free.

How to get there

You can get to the park by train or commuter train to the station, which is called Hodenhagen. And from there by bus, which will take you straight to the park in half an hour.

In this case, you can also use the transfer of any travel company. However, the cost will be quite high. On average, travel companies offer a round trip to Serengeti Park Safari for 160 EUR.

Food. What to try

The gastronomic side of Germany has always attracted me, as a great lover of tasty and satisfying food. In general, I noticed that no matter what city I was in, the locals had one peculiarity - they like to eat a lot, but only in cafes and restaurants. Even in supermarkets, a noticeable preponderance is in favor of ready-made dishes than individual products - so to speak, just warm up.

Prices

The pricing policy in this area is extremely diverse. Quite large and tasty portions at an attractive price can be found in the city center, or you can leave a fortune on the outskirts of Hamburg. That is to say, you need to know the places. But the average check for lunch, for example, in the city center varies from 25 EUR to 35 EUR. And in residential areas the amount will be slightly lower - 22 EUR.

Dishes and portions

When I came to a cafe for the first time, I was extremely surprised: the portions in the establishments are served quite large. It seems that a man can well eat up with one plate, this is a big plus.

It seems to me that street food cannot be ignored. It is cheaper compared to the restaurant one, but its taste is not inferior to it. Therefore, if you see an attractive pork knuckle, brandy or typical fast food, then do not pass by and be sure to try it.

Budget

You can eat tasty and economical at fast food establishments. Here is a list of some of them:

• Cafe Sul (Ditmar-Koel-Str. 10, 20459, Hamburg);
• Cafe May (Hein-Hoyer-Str. 14, 20359 Hamburg);
• Campus Suite (Stephansplatz 2-8, 20354 Hamburg);
• Dat Backhus (Neuer Steinweg 20, 20459 Hamburg);
• Amber Cafe (Schaarsteinwegsbruecke 2, 20459 Hamburg).

Middle level

Mid-range gastronomic cafes are mainly located in the central part of the city. The most popular of these are:

• Cafe Paris (Rathausstrasse 4, 20095 Hamburg);
• Von der Motte (Mottenburger Twiete 14, 22765 Hamburg);
• Erste Liebe Bar (Michaelisbrucke 3, 20459 Hamburg);
• Cafe Knuth (Grosse Rainstr. 21, 22765 Hamburg);
• Gretchen "s Villa (Marktstr. 142, 20357 Hamburg).

Expensive

You can enjoy gourmet cuisine in these establishments:

• The Table (Shanghaiallee 15, 20457 Hamburg);
• Heldenplatz Restaurant (Brandstwiete 46, 20457 Hamburg);
• Theo "s (Rothenbaumchaussee 10, 20148 Hamburg);
• La Mirabelle (Bundesstr. 15, 20146 Hamburg).

Holidays

Unlike Berlin and Munich, Hamburg cannot be called a city that hosts a large number of holidays or bright events... However, during the year there are still significant events that delight locals and travelers with their scale.

Harbor birthday

Every year an impromptu stage opens in the area of ​​the city port. Many local artists perform there, contests and sweepstakes are held. This festival, which runs from 11 to 13 May, is timed to coincide with the Hafengeburtstag, which means "Hamburg Harbor's Birthday".

Hamburger DOM

The festival, which takes place on March 25, is an incredibly vibrant fair with a lot of entertainment, attractions, raffles and gifts. The Hamburger DOM is held annually at the Heiligengeistfeld. This celebration dates back to the 14th century and has been held in Heiligengeistfeld since 1892.

Venice Carnival

But the most incredible, beautiful and mysterious holiday for me was Venice Carnival which starts on February 10th. This is a real mysterious madness and magic of a long bygone era, which with frenzied force splashes into the streets of the city. Ladies and gentlemen dressed up in costumes surprise with their exquisite manners and fancy hairstyles. During this period, you can meet anyone on the street - from fantastic creatures to heroes of myths and fairy tales, who dance to beautiful music and arrange incredible performances in which anyone can participate.

Security. What to watch out for

Almost all areas of the city are safe. If you decide to go for a walk at night, then feel free to leave the house. Just take your documents with you, because often foot policemen patrol the streets and can approach anyone, as they themselves put it, "purely for prevention."

However, I would strongly recommend that you be vigilant in the subway, shopping malls and other places where there are quite a lot of people. Try to keep money, valuables and mobile phones in the front pockets to feel them, and take off your backpacks in subway cars and hold them in your hands. Thieves are not uncommon in Hamburg, so don't ignore these simple rules to help you keep your property safe.

Things to do

In Hamburg, you will definitely not be bored. The variety of leisure activities here is higher than in many European cities. You can spend time in the favorite way of many tourists - go shopping, try traditional cuisine, plunge into the city's nightlife, admire the nature, or spend the day with benefit, but in rather atypical places.

Which ones? And what entertainment does Hamburg offer? We'll find out now.

Shopping and shops

If you want to devote your day to shopping, then go to the very center of the city. It is there that the bulk of shopping centers are concentrated, in which world brands are represented.

Shopping centers

Be sure to check out the Alsterhaus. This is one of the most popular shopping centers in the city. In it you can find a whole scattering of incredibly famous brands. In addition to clothes, shoes and perfumes, Alsterhaus offers interior and decor items, a movie and a cup of coffee in a specially designated food court.

The shopping center is open Monday through Saturday from 10:00 to 20:00. Address: Jungfernstieg 16-20.

Other popular shopping centers:

• Europa Passage (Ballindam 40);
• Hanseviertel (Grosse Bleichen 30);
• Brinkmann (Spitalerstrasse 10);
• Gansemarkt-Passage (Gansemarkt 50);
• Galleria (Grosse Bleichen 21).

Discounts and promotions

It is best to visit the malls and shop during the sales period. In Hamburg, as in the rest of Germany, the sales season is summer and winter. It is noteworthy that there is no definite start and end date. The winter sale starts around January, however, quite often you can buy something at a discount even in the midst of the holidays. Summer Sale starts at the end of July.

Bars. Where to go

Hamburg never sleeps. Even late on weekday evenings, most of the bars are packed. Couples in love, lonely and brooding visitors, loud male and modest female companies - all bars visit without exception.

Here are a couple of places that I would highly recommend everyone to go to:

And here are a few more establishments that cannot be ignored:

• Oyster Bar (Rothenbaumchaussee 10) - open from 12:00 to 00:00;
• Chapeau! Grill & Bar (Moorfuhrtweg 9) - open from 12:00 to 00:00;
• Ciu "Die Bar (Ballindamm 14-15) - open from 16:00 to 05:00.

Clubs and nightlife

Did you think that after the bars, the people of Hamburg go to their homes to sleep off? It was not so. They are used to having a full blast, which means that after a couple of liters of intoxicating drink and a shank, you can safely conquer the dance floor. And which clubs are the most favorite and popular? I'll tell you now.

Catch a couple more interesting places with great dance floors:

• Disco Tschako Official (Weidenbaumsweg 13);
• Kaiserkeller (Grosse Freiheit 36);
• Klubhaus St. Pauli (Spielbudenplatz 21-22);
• Pit Club (Pulverteich 17).

Extreme sports

If you love to conquer the waves, then Hamburg will be your find. Due to the fact that the city is on the water, locals and travelers have the opportunity to go diving and cliff diving. By the way, Hamburg even held international competitions for the latest sport.

As for surfing and windsurfing, such entertainment in Hamburg is not relevant, since it is simply impossible to meet steep waves there.

And all those who are afraid of water can go on a trip to hot-air balloon or jump with a parachute. The instructor, the cost and the opportunity to implement the idea are discussed individually by everyone in specialized clubs or in tourist centers.

Souvenirs. What to bring as a gift

Bring from Hamburg what is connected with the nautical theme. Local souvenir shops are filled to the brim with magnets and postcards depicting the port of Hamburg. And if you want something more original, then go to any grocery store and, together with German beer buy a couple of cans of jerky or pickled seafood. Take my word for it, it's delicious. Do not forget about sweets - they are simply magical throughout Germany.

The cost of gastronomic souvenirs is different, it varies from 5 EUR to 20 EUR. A bottle of beer can be bought for 3 EUR.

But souvenirs such as magnets, bottle openers, postcards and photographs depicting the port or city sights can be bought for 1 EUR.

How to get around the city

Network public transport organized in Hamburg just perfect. Subways, electric trains, trams and buses - all of them are part of a single urban public transport system, which can be monitored in a special HVV application. There you can also set the routes you need. The application is quite simple and extremely convenient to use, so my advice to you is to use it if you want to choose the fastest way to get from point A to point B. :)

Transport system

As for the transport system, it is extremely complex. Sometimes it even seemed to me that the most local residents did not really understand it, but simply used public transport as they were used to.

Such carelessness did not suit us, so we decided to study all the nuances. So, transport system Hamburg has five rings. They diverge from the central part of the city, forming tariff zones.

• The "Greater Hamburg Zone" (Großbereich Hamburg) covers zones "A" and "B".
• Zones "C", "D" and "E" include the outer dormitory areas of the city and their surroundings.

For clarity, I will attach a map of public transport in Hamburg below, which clearly shows the division by color (each indicates the corresponding zone).
All major tourist places are located mainly in the central zone "A", which is why I recommend not to bother with the rest of the zones - after all, the city's public transport system is already quite difficult to understand.

Fare

The price will depend on which one ticket you need. Most cheap ticket is Kurzstrecke. It is intended for travel in the "Big Zone". You will have to pay 1.5 EUR for it.

That is why I recommend saving money and getting a Hamburg Car right away. This is a fairly convenient travel pass for tourists, which allows you to travel within the "Big Zone" for 1, 3 or 5 days. The cost of this card is only 9.9 EUR.

Taxi. What features exist

I did not notice any obvious features and distinctive features in the Hamburg taxi. On the contrary, the drivers are always extremely polite, help with luggage, advise interesting places for visiting.

It is noteworthy that in a German taxi, just like in Russia, payment is made according to the meter, but you can ask for a receipt. If you get into a taxi, then be prepared to pay exclusively in cash. In general, it is theoretically possible to pay by cards, but in reality, drivers simply do not have a terminal. As for the cost, taxi services are, of course, expensive. For example, you will have to pay about 40 EUR for a trip from the airport to the city center.

Usually you do not need to look for taxi drivers - they, so to speak, will find you themselves. City roads are simply full of checkered cars: they can be found at bus stops, at shopping centers, near the embankment, at the port and at all sorts of attractions. In general, little remains to be done - just choose a car and a driver).

Trams

Changing to trams is extremely convenient during rush hour. Almost all carriages of this type of transport are new, with soft seats and an electronic ticker, which informs about the next stop.

Trams are part of a single transport network, so if you have a travel card, you can use it. If not, then a one-time ticket can be purchased from the driver himself or from a special machine at the bus stops.

Underground

Hamburg has a metro, moreover, it is the fastest and most convenient mode of transport. A clear plus of the subway is that almost every attraction has a metro station and memorable place.

By the way, the metro also has a ticket. If you don't have one, then it's okay - there are quite a few machines inside where you can buy a one-time ticket.

The metro operates daily from 4:30 am to 00:40 am. It is noteworthy that it does not close at night from Friday to Saturday and from Saturday to Sunday.

Transport rental

Alternatively, you can rent a car. This is very convenient for those travelers who, in search of adventure, are not going to stop at Hamburg alone and are ready to explore other cities of the German land.

There is a fairly convenient service at the airport, where you can draw up a contract and leave from there in a comfortable car with a full tank. The average car rental price per day is 15 EUR or 950 rubles. You can see other options and compare prices, for example,.

Usually, in order to rent a car, you must have the following documents: passport, license and credit card.

I didn't rent a car, but my friends did it a couple of times. And here are some tips they shared:

• be prepared for the fact that you will not find free space in the paid parking and you will have to spend about 10-15 EUR for a place;
• within the city, you need to adhere to a speed of 50 km / h;
• take the car only with the Green Card (insurance certificate).

Hamburg - holidays with children

Hamburg is a good place not only for youth recreation, but also for holidays with children. The Germans are quite patient with young travelers, so do not be afraid that you will interfere with someone. Feel free to take your kids to the subway, go shopping or to the nearest cafeteria.

Hamburg - Hamburg

In this article, you will learn:

Hamburg is one of the most ancient cities in Europe and Germany, in particular.

The fortress (and it was with this that the construction of cities began in those distant times) was intended to contain possible attacks of the Slavic and Scandinavian peoples. Its construction was carried out under the leadership of Charlemagne and was completed at the beginning of the 9th century AD. e. In the Middle Ages, the city received the status of a state and for several centuries the German monarchs practically did not influence the course of its development.

Description

Today Hamburg itself is one of the 16 states of the Federal Republic of Germany. In terms of its size in Germany, it is second only to, and in the European Union it is in seventh place.

The population of the city is just over 1.7 million inhabitants.

The city is located in the north of the country, in the place where the tributaries of the Alster and Bille flow into the Elbe. The Elbe route from Hamburg to North Sea is 110 km, which created good conditions for the development of shipping and the construction of river and sea ports. The railway and road connections with the city are not lagging behind in terms of the development of logistics, since the ports are annually visited by about 12 thousand ships, a significant part of which are commercial.

Since the city is literally cut by waterways, the number of bridges is amazing - more than 2,000. As they say, Venice in this regard is far behind. In addition to bridges, two tunnels were also built under the river, which greatly simplifies the movement of vehicles.

The light, machine-building and printing industries have undergone significant development in the city. Many wealthy entrepreneurs from all over the world consider it an honor to have their own business or at least a representative office here.

Historical heritage

During its history, the city was twice subjected to significant destruction.

In 1842, a great fire raged in the city, which destroyed many historical buildings.

The second time "Armageddon" swept through the streets of Hamburg at the end of World War II, when the Allied planes generously bombarded the city with bombs. Despite this, after the war, many destroyed ancient buildings were repaired or even completely rebuilt. The work of the architects who carried out the reconstruction is now appreciated by tourists. In this regard, Hamburg is not inferior to many others European cities.

sights

Among the attractions that deserve special attention tourists, there are many churches and temples, the bell tower of the Church of St. Michael (132 m high), which is considered the symbol of the city, the Speicherstadt warehouse complex, a huge town hall square with a town hall, merchant mansions and many other historical buildings.

Bell tower of the church of St. Michael

After exploring the bizarre architecture, you can relax in the park, of which there are a lot in Hamburg. By the way, in terms of greening, the city boldly competes with other European cities for the title of the "green capital" of Europe.

For those who like to relax by the water, there is an excellent opportunity to spend free time on Lake Alster, which is located north of the city. Many athletes and simply lovers of a healthy lifestyle spend their training here.

Alster lake

After studying the history of the city and outdoor recreation, you can return to modern life.

For young people, it will be interesting to visit the St. Pauli area, which was built around the St. Paul Church. Despite the name of the area, there are all the sinful charms here, for example, the "perverse mile" - a street in the windows of which "live goods" are displayed for entertainment. Many modern night discos and cabarets attract advanced youth here. The sex industry is in full swing here. Due to the area's characteristic nightlife, housing prices are significantly lower.

St. Pauli District

The Eppendorf area will be interesting for more serious people. Real estate, accommodation, restaurants and boutiques are affordable only for wealthy people, so Eppendorf is considered the most respectable area of ​​the city.

For lovers of museums, theaters, galleries, Hamburg will seem like just a cultural treasure. For example, there are 4 state and more than forty private theaters in the city. The number of musicals staged is slightly less than in New York and London.
