Flight Guide from Sydney to Hamburg
What are the best things to do in Hamburg?
Speicherstadt
This warehouse district is separated from the lower portion of the city centre by a canal. Speicherstadt is the largest warehouse district in the world with 17 brick warehouses located there. The district once played an important role in the shipping businesses that operated out of Hamburg Port. Some of the warehouses are still in use, and others have been converted into museums and attractions that you can visit while holidaying on cheap flights to Hamburg. Highlights of Speicherstadt include Miniatur Wunderland, International Maritime Museum, and Elbphilharmonie. You’ll also see beautiful historic architecture by strolling around Speicherstadt in between return flights to Hamburg.
Reeperbahn
The Reeperbahn is a famous Hamburg street that’s lined with nightclubs and live music venues. It’s located within the edgy St. Pauli neighbourhood and is where many musicians spent their early years – most notably the Beatles. Take some time to explore this unique side to the city while visiting Germany on flights to Hamburg. Pop into record shops along the Reeperbahn and around St. Pauli, visit some of the bars, and take a self-guided walking tour of places that were significant to the Beatles during their time in Hamburg. Also have a look at a calendar of events after you book tickets to Hamburg as there are regularly concerts and events on the Reeperbahn.
Kunsthalle Hamburg
Kunsthalle is one of Germany’s largest museums and one of the most popular to visit while holidaying on flights to Hamburg. Pieces at the museum span seven centuries, starting with medieval art from Europe to contemporary works from around the world. Some famous artists you’ll see represented at Kunsthalle Hamburg include Francisco de Goya, Rembrandt, Claude Monet, and Auguste Rodin. The museum also displays a series of rotating exhibits that explore different areas of German and European culture through both classic and contemporary art.
What is the best way to get around Hamburg?
There are four forms of public transport available to visitors holidaying on return flights to Hamburg: the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, ferries, and buses.
The S-Bahn is a series of suburban trains that travel to 68 stations across six lines. Each of these lines connects major train stations around central Hamburg before branching out into the suburbs. You can also use the S-Bahn to reach the city centre after arriving on flights to Hamburg. An S-Bahn train departs from Hamburg Airport (HAM) every 10 minutes and travels to Hamburg Hauptbahnhof station.
The U-Bahn is an underground train network that’s a great option for visitors holidaying on cheap flights to Hamburg. Its four lines offer extensive service through the city centre. Each line intersects at both Hauptbahnhof and Rathaus stations before heading into the northern and eastern suburbs.
Hamburg has eight ferry routes along the Elbe River, and five of the routes depart from Landungsbrücken in central Hamburg. The ferries mainly head to industrial spots and residential suburban areas. However, tourists visiting Germany on return flights to Hamburg can also board a ferry for a scenic ride on the Elbe River.
There’s also a network of buses that travel to destinations all over the city and the suburbs. Keep the buses in mind if you’re hoping to visit somewhere that’s not accessible by U-Bahn or S-Bahn when you book tickets to Hamburg. Night buses are available after midnight and operate across Hamburg’s main bus routes.
