Activities & Sights

Time for a stroll

The Speicherstadt, or the warehouse district, is an icon of Hamburg and one of the city’s biggest attractions. The warehouses are built on oak timber piles and the area is intersected by canals that ships navigate during high tide. There are many interesting places to see within this district, like the famous miniature train museum, old coffee warehouses and since 2016 also the breathtaking concert hall Elbphilharmonie.

The Jungfernstieg station is the ideal place to go for a stroll and enjoy the water of Inner Alster Lake. Shopping enthusiasts will feel at home on the nearby high streets while those who love nightlife and novelties should head over to Hamburg’s Reeperbahn. The St. Pauli district is teeming with bars, pubs and drag queen shows, but you really ought to see for yourself what the neighbourhood has to offer. The NephroCare dialysis centre in Hamburg- Barmbek is centrally located near the idyllic Hamburg city park. The centre is easy to get to and just a short ride away from the airport, which, by the way, connects directly to Hamburg’s Central Station by S-Bahn.

Accommodation

For your accommodation you can choose from different hotels in close vicinity of the city centre at every price level. Besides, there are several other options which could give you other advantages as well as being cheaper than a hotel. Lodgings range from Holiday Apartments to regular pensions and bed and breakfasts. The offer is broad, so you will surely find the quarters that meet your requirements.
