About Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's second largest city and its greatest port — a proud Hanseatic city-state with a maritime identity that permeates its architecture, culture and self-understanding. The port of Hamburg, the third largest in Europe, has shaped the city for over 800 years, and the historic Speicherstadt warehouse district — a vast network of red-brick neo-Gothic warehouses built on oak piles above the tidal canals between 1885 and 1927 — is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is now home to one of the most concentrated museum and creative industry clusters in Germany. Hamburg has more bridges than any other city in the world — more than Venice, Amsterdam and London combined.
Hamburg's cultural and entertainment credentials are exceptional — the city has the largest number of live music venues of any German city, gave the Beatles their formative performing years in the clubs of the Reeperbahn (1960–62), and is home to Germany's largest theatre (the Deutsches Schauspielhaus) and one of the world's great concert halls, the Elbphilharmonie (designed by Herzog & de Meuron, opened 2017). The HafenCity — Europe's largest inner-city urban development project, built on former port land along the Elbe — is transforming the waterfront with extraordinary architecture. The Alster lakes in the city centre, the Planten un Blomen park and the Elbe beach at Blankenese give Hamburg an unusual combination of urban density and natural space.
Important Transfer Information
S-Bahn Direct Connection: Hamburg Airport has a direct S-Bahn connection (line S1) to Hamburg city centre, with services to Hauptbahnhof (approximately 25 minutes) and beyond. Our private transfer delivers directly to your specific Hamburg address — hotel, event venue or harbour — without the luggage management required on public transport.
Hamburg Address Delivery: Hamburg is a large city and your accommodation may be in HafenCity, Altona, Blankenese, or the Alster lakes area — all distant from the Hauptbahnhof S-Bahn terminus. Our transfer delivers door-to-door to any Hamburg address.
Elbphilharmonie: The Elbphilharmonie concert hall, opened in January 2017 after years of construction delays and cost overruns, has rapidly become one of the most celebrated concert halls in the world — architecturally extraordinary (glass waves rising above a historic warehouse base) and acoustically outstanding. Concert tickets sell out months in advance. The free public plaza at the top of the building is open daily and gives the finest panoramic view of the Hamburg harbour.
