    Your stay in a B&B Hamburg

    Hamburg, an ancient Hanseatic city, brims with diverse charm. From its functional maritime harbour district, the lush green parks encircling the Alster, historical gems such as the grand town hall or iconic "Michel," to the lively Reeperbahn—a centrally located B&B Hamburg allows you to explore the city's most beautiful corners.

    Hamburg districts worth seeing

    As with any city trip, Hamburg's must-sees include a quaint Old Town and a vibrant New Town filled with famous sights such as the Kontorhausviertel with Speicherstadt, the Town Hall with the Rathausmarkt, the Hamburg Kunsthalle, St. Michael's Church, the Chilehaus, and the Binnenalster. You also shouldn't miss the popular shopping streets of Mönckebergstraße and Spitalerstraße. Ottensen and Altona, known for the Elbe beach and the fish market, are great places to wander and grab a bite. Known for its football club and the Reeperbahn Festival, St. Pauli famously draws a lively musical crowd. The St. Georg district, close to the city centre and east of the main railway station, is an ideal starting point for a B&B Hamburg.

    Elbphilharmonie and the Port of Hamburg

    The impressive Elbphilharmonie building has become one of Hamburg's top visitor magnets. In addition to constant musical highlights with well-known artists from all over the world, the public viewing platform of the "Elphi" offers unforgettable views of the city and the harbour. Tip: Come to the platform for a romantic sunset and bathe in the golden colours of the Elbe. This experience combines perfectly with an evening harbour tour and the Speicherstadt. Pass by the impressive container ships along the waterways of the largest warehouse complex, with spectacular views of the Landungsbrücken and other city landmarks.

    ...and a few more (secret) tips

    Sternschanze and Karolinenviertel, affectionately called Schanze and Karoviertel by resident Hamburgers, have meanwhile turned into chic neighbourhoods in Altona. Colourful, lively and constantly on the move, new boutiques, pubs, cafés and restaurants open every day. Ottensen, a trendy district with a distinctly Parisian flair, is also one of the most trendy districts in Hamburg, where you might rub shoulders with musicians and actors. Former factories have been converted into event locations and modern flats, and iconic restaurants and boutiques line the streets. Ottensen is not directly on the Elbe, but the Altonaer Balkon is nearby, with great views of the harbour and Köhlbrand Bridge. The cult mile Reeperbahn, with sights such as the Davidwache, Panik City and the Panoptikum, is undoubtedly no insider tip.

    Duration and how to get from A to B

    There is so much to discover in the historic Hanseatic city on the Elbe that the days will fill up quickly with a varied and worthwhile programme. Depending on how many days you plan on staying, you could stick to the main sights or explore a bit off the beaten track. Most things to do in Hamburg can be easily reached on foot due to its compact nature, but for longer distances, there is a well-developed bus and train network. Tip: there is a free app from the Hamburger Verkehrsgesellschaft (Hamburg transport company) that helps search for connections and buy tickets.

    Best time to travel: weather and climate

    Don't believe the myth that it rains all the time in Hamburg. It doesn't deserve its wet reputation! Although rainy weather occurs all year round, Hamburg has no more rainy days than more southern cities. The most hours of sunshine are between May and September. If you want to combine sunbathing on the Elbe beach with a refreshing drink on the Binnenalster during your trip to a B&B Hamburg, these might be the best months to choose. Parks and gardens blossom beautifully in spring, and their gradually changing colours make autumn special. A few tips for visiting Hamburg in the winter might include museums, ice skating or a walk along the frozen waters glistening wonderfully in the sun.
