Line A City Tour – the Red Double-deckers
The Red Double-deckers have been offering sightseeing tours in Hamburg since 1978 – first with the Hamburg Hummelbahn vehicles and then with the famous and well-loved open-top double-decker buses that are today part and parcel of the Hamburg city landscape. Open-top tours in particular are a special thrill in all seasons and offer fantastic all-round views from a height of 4 metres. The mission of the Red Double-deckers is as simple as it is clever: To tour Hamburg is to experience Hamburg. The Line A tours feature a Multilingual Audio Guide with a choice of 11 languages, providing English, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, French, Japanese, Danish, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese and German.
Discover Hamburg – on land and on water
The Landungsbrücken, the breath-taking harbour, the historical Speicherstadt, the modern HafenCity with the new concert hall “Elbphilharmonie”, the famous Reeperbahn, the 'Michel', the Alster, the Hamburg City Hall, the museums, the magnificent villas along the genteel Elbchaussee, the Blankeneser Treppenviertel, Planten un Blomen – the list of sights in Hamburg is long and diverse. You'll discover the most beautiful side of the city with the sightseeing tours from the Red Double-deckers. If you want to see where the heart of Hamburg beats, you have to take to the water. So, alongside the Line A city tour, the tours of the harbour and of the Alster are must-dos when on a discovery trip through Hamburg. The tours on a barge or Alster steamer can be combined easily with our city tours and are an absolute must for every visit to Hamburg.
Hop on – Hop off and charter
With the day pass, you have the opportunity to break and continue your tour at any of the 20 stops all day long and as often as you want (Hop on – hop off). Whether you're in Hamburg for the first time as a visitor or live in the city and want to show it off to friends, family and colleagues, whether you are planning an unusual family event or a corporate event is coming up – our range of services is just as diverse as the wishes of our guests. Scheduled and individual sightseeing tours, special trips as well as transfer and shuttle services are integral components of the Red Double-deckers.
Red on the outside but green on the inside!
All of our Red double-deckers have the latest drive technology – powered by Mercedes-Benz. A slow-driven sightseeing tour bus has special technical requirements in order to keep emissions and fuel consumption as low as possible. Daimler Ag has developed the optimal solution with Euro 5 motors and Blue Tec EEV. This drive system is still the best and most ecological possibility for offering sightseeing tours, since the EEV technology paired with the Euro 5 motor still achieves the best emission values, the lowest fuel consumption and the best exhaust gas treatment!

If you’ve got only one day in Hamburg, we’ve got you well covered with our itinerary. Read on to discover how to see the must-see sights of Hamburg in one day.

Is One Day Enough in Hamburg?
One day in Hamburg can’t possibly be sufficient to fully experience the myriad wonders of the city. However, if 24 hours in Hamburg is all you have, you can cover the major sights, indulge in some local delicacies, and get a quick overview of the city.
How to Get Around During Your One Day in Hamburg
Hamburg is a pedestrian-friendly city and wandering on foot remains the best way to explore Hamburg and discover its many hidden gems.
However, since Hamburg is pretty big and the attractions are spread out, it’s not feasible to just walk everywhere when you just have one day in Hamburg. The best way to get around Hamburg is by the well-functioning public transportation system.
Hamburg’s excellent and easy-to-use public transport includes the U-Bahn (subway), the S-Bahn (trains), buses as well as a range of boats and ships. All the major attractions in Hamburg are easily reached by public transport, and switching from one form of transport to another is very seamless.
A single ticket in Hamburg costs 3.50 EUR. A day ticket costs 6,40 EUR (if you start after 09:00) and is a good option if you plan on making several journeys during your one day in Hamburg. You can also opt for a 24-hour Hamburg ticket which costs 8.20 EUR.
Public transport tickets can be purchased from ticket vending machines found in all U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations, as well as at centrally located bus stops. You can also purchase tickets online or via the “hvv” app.
Make use of the very useful intermodal Journey Planner for getting around Hamburg with public transport.
If you are visiting Hamburg in the warmer months, getting around on a bicycle is also a good alternative and a fun way to see the city. Hamburg is a very bicycle-friendly city, and many streets have dedicated bike lanes.
The terrain of Hamburg is rather flat, allowing for easy and relaxed transport. The easiest way to rent a bicycle in Hamburg is by signing up for StadtRAD , the city’s bike-sharing system which has service points all over the city.
StadtRAD is free for the first 30 minutes, after that, your trip will cost 10 cents per minute or 15 EUR per day.
In case you’re interested in seeing the highlights of Hamburg on bike, check out this excellent Hamburg Bicycle Tour .
If you’re not up for a long walk or cycle around Hamburg, you could also get around on a scuddy/segway, which can cover a larger area than a walk-around. The feeling of gliding around the streets, added to the fact that it’s so simple to use makes a scuddy/segway so fun to ride.
In case you’re interested in seeing the highlights of Hamburg on scuddy/segway, check out this excellent Hamburg Scuddy Tour .
You probably won’t need to use taxis at all during your 24 hours in Hamburg since the city is so well served by public transport.
However, should you want to use a taxi, you can hail a taxi on the street, order one online or by telephone, or pick up one at one of the numerous taxi ranks located strategically across the city. Hansa Taxi is one of the companies you can check out if you want to travel by taxi.
Is the Hamburg Card/Hamburg City Pass Worth It For One Day?
For sightseeing in Hamburg, the two most common travel passes that allow you to access the most important attractions/museums for free or at a discounted rate, as well as free access to public transportation are the Hamburg Card and the Hamburg City Pass .
The Hamburg Card offers unlimited travel on all public transport in Hamburg and offers discounts at more than 150 attractions, restaurants, and theaters.
On the other hand, the Hamburg City Pass is more of an all-inclusive pass that not only offers unlimited travel on all public transport but also offers free admission to the most popular museums and sights in Hamburg.
If you have to invest in one, I would personally recommend getting the City Pass as it is really good value for money and gives you a lot of options.
Ultimately, whether the Hamburg Card/Hamburg City Pass is worth buying and truly cost-effective depends on your needs and interests and the range of sightseeing activities you have planned.
Your One Day in Hamburg Itinerary
For this ‘one day in Hamburg’ itinerary, I have included some of the major attractions and sights in the city. It, of course, isn’t possible to explore all of Hamburg’s major sights in just one day.
For your convenience, this post includes a free map that highlights the main points of interest in Hamburg for one day. You can find the addresses of the attractions by clicking on the icons in the map.
Obviously, everyone travels at a different pace so feel free to choose the destinations according to your own pace. The earlier you start your day the more time you’ll have to see the attractions.
Below I have compiled a list of the best things to see in Hamburg over the course of one day:
- Cake for Breakfast
- Jungfernstieg & Binnenalster
- Chile House & Kontorhaus District
- Speicherstadt
- Deichstrasse
- Elbphilharmonie
- St. Michael’s Church
- St. Pauli Landing Bridges
- Hamburg Boat Tour
- Hamburg Delicacies
- Kunsthalle Hamburg
- Reeperbahn & Beatles Square
- Dinner in the Reeperbahn
1. Cake for Breakfast
You’ll require a good dose of coffee and some grub for your day of sightseeing in Hamburg. Public Coffee Roasters is a cozy cafe that makes fresh brews and offers tasty croissants and cheesecakes.
2. Hamburg Town Hall
![hamburg a tour City hall is one of the best things to see in Hamburg in one day.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-inner-city.jpg)
The Hamburg Town Hall is definitely one of the must-see attractions in Hamburg. Nothing was held back when constructing this majestic edifice between 1886-1897. It is home to Hamburg’s senate and parliament.
The town hall is distinguished by its beautiful copper roof, which along with its ornate facade that is adorned with sculptures of German emperors, gives it a very unique appearance. The building has a staggering 647 rooms and is built atop 4,000 oak piles sunk into the ground.
![hamburg a tour Make sure to stop by beautiful city hall during your 24 hours in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-town-hall.jpg)
It’s possible to even take a guided tour (5 EUR) of the Hamburg Town Hall and learn about the city’s intriguing past while going through some lofty staterooms.
However, I wouldn’t recommend taking a tour of the Town Hall if you’re only in Hamburg for a day.
Hamburg’s cityscape is primarily dominated by buildings dating from the 19th and 20th centuries with only a few older buildings still standing today. This is due to the enormous destruction caused by the Great Fire of 1842 and the flurry of bombs that rained on the city during World War II. A smaller factor is that Hamburg natives have always preferred tearing down old buildings and replacing them with new ones.
3. Jungfernstieg & Binnenalster
![hamburg a tour Take a stroll along Jungfernstieg during your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-jungfernstieg.jpg)
Jungfernstieg is a waterfront promenade that is nestled between Binnenalster and the Town Hall. It was the first street to be paved in Germany in 1838.
In the old days, rich families used to bring their unmarried daughters (Jungfern in German) for a stroll in search of a prospective groom. Thus, it acquired the name ‘Jungfernstieg’.
Given that Hamburg is home to the highest concentration of millionaires in Germany, it’s easy this place has so many designer boutiques. Fortunately for people like us, there are more affordable options here, in the Alsterhaus department store or the Europa Passage shopping mall.
![hamburg a tour Relax by the water during your 24 hours in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-binnenalster.jpg)
The Binnenalster (Inner Alster) is the smaller part of the Alster Lakes and is one of the best places to view Hamburg’s cityscape. The lakes are actually part of the river Alster and are separated from each other by the Kennedy Bridge.
The Binnenalster is situated a short stroll from Hamburg’s main shopping area and the central station. It also has a water fountain that spouts water around 40 meters in the air.
Small sailboats and rowboats, hired from yards on the shores of the Alster, are very much a part of the summer scene. It is a perfect place to unwind during sightseeing.

Take a relaxed stroll along the water or sit down on one of the several benches to take in the magnificent scenery.
4. Kontorhaus District & Chile House
![hamburg a tour The Kontorhaus District is a must-see during your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-kontorhaus-viertel.jpg)
The Kontorhaus district lies around Burchardplatz, between Mönckebergstraße and Speicherstadt. The district developed in the early 20th century with office buildings being built in a brick expressionist manner.
The Kontorhaus district is an essential part of Hamburg’s DNA and along with the Speicherstadt, it was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2015.
Some of the prominent buildings here are Sprinkenhof, Miramarhaus, Mohlenhof, and Montanhof.
![hamburg a tour The Chile House is the most notable building to see in the Kontorhaus District during your 24 hours in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-chile-house.jpg)
The most notable building in the Kontorhaus district is the Chile House (Chilehaus), largely due to its unique shape, which is said to resemble a ship’s bow.
Constructed between 1922 and 1924, Chile House became a symbol of Brick Expressionism architecture and Hamburg’s economic revival post World War I. Nearly 5 million bricks were used to build the Chile House!
It derives its name from a German merchant, Henry Barens Sloman, who became extremely wealthy in the saltpeter trade with Chile, and who also commissioned the building.
5. Speicherstadt
![hamburg a tour Speicherstadt is a must-see, even if you have less than a day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-speicherstadt.jpg)
The Speicherstadt is the world’s largest contiguous warehouse complex. It consists of 17 buildings, each seven to eight stories high, standing on timber-pile foundations and oak logs.
The district was constructed between 1883 and 1927 to build a free zone to transfer goods without paying customs. It has more than 300,000 square meters of storage area.
![hamburg a tour Nothing beats a walk through Speicherstadt on your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/24-hours-in-hamburg-speicherstadt.jpg)
The warehouses were in use until recently and stored goods such as coffee, tea, cocoa, spices, tobacco, and oriental carpets.
A lot of these buildings are now functioning offices or residential spaces. Together with the nearby Kontorhaus district, the Speicherstadt was added to UNESCO’s World Heritage Site list in 2015.
I really liked the Neo-Gothic and Neo-Romanesque red-brick outer facade of the buildings here which features richly ornamented brickwork.
Take some time to walk around the Speicherstadt as this place feels like a miniature city itself. The Speicherstadt is interspersed with bridges and picturesque canals known as fleets, which sets the scene for some instagrammable pictures.
6. Deichstrasse & Nikolaifleet
![hamburg a tour Deichstrasse is a cute little street not to be missed on your day trip to Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-deichstrasse.jpg)
Deichstrasse is one of the few surviving streets in Hamburg’s Old Town and the oldest remaining one. Ironically, it was here that in 1842 the Great Fire of Hamburg, which eventually destroyed much of the Old Town, is said to have broken out.
This former 14th-century merchant street is a throwback to ‘Old Hamburg’ and provides a peek into the city’s Hanseatic past.
The buildings here date from the 17th-19th centuries and were chiefly occupied by merchants who lived and worked here. These multi-story, half-timbered houses have a Baroque facade, many have now been fabulously restored and are home to several restaurants.
The Hanseatic League was an alliance of trading guilds that established a trade monopoly along the coast of Northern Europe in the Middle Ages. By joining the Hanseatic League, Hamburg’s fortunes flourished and it became the leading German trading and warehousing city between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea.
![hamburg a tour Nikolaifleet in Hamburg is one of the best things to see in the city.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-nikolajfleet.jpg)
Bordering Deichstrasse is one of Hamburg’s most famous canals, Nikolaifleet. Hamburg has a total of 22 canals weaving and twisting their way through the inner city.
We saw several other canals in Hamburg like Brooksfleet and Mönkedammfleet, but in our opinion, Nikolaifleet is definitely the prettiest one.
It used to be the main river mouth where the waters of the Alster flowed into the Elbe River. The gentle curve of Nikolaifleet and the backside of the buildings on Deichstrasse provides yet another postcard-perfect view.
The word fleet comes from the medieval German word “fleten”, which was used to describe the flow of water. However, unlike the canals, the fleets were originally dependent on the tide, and their water level fluctuated with the tide. Many of the fleets were gone in the 19th century and in the existent ones, locks regulate the level of water today.
7. Elbphilharmonie
![hamburg a tour Make sure to stop by the architecturally maervelous Elbphilharmonie during your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-elbphilharmonie.jpg)
The Elbphilharmonie or “Elphi” is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Hamburg and certainly the most intriguing one. It is a concert hall encased in glass and set upon a former cocoa brick warehouse and is surrounded on three sides by the waters of the city’s bustling harbor.
The building is visible from far nearly anywhere around the harbor. With its curved windows and white-tiled crested roof, the Elbphilharmonie dynamically contrasts with its sturdy, utilitarian brick foundation, evoking a ship in full sail.
It’s interesting to visit and see from the inside but if you’re short on time you have to at least see in from the outside.
If you’re interested in visiting the building, you can take this fantastic guided tour of the interior of the Elbphilharmonie to learn some intriguing facts about the building and enjoy some most beautiful views of Hamburg over the harbor.
8. Church of St. Michael
![hamburg a tour St. Michael's Church is a must-see during your short visit to Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-st-michaels-church.jpg)
There are several prominent churches in Hamburg. The most famous one is the Church of St. Michael (Hauptkirche St. Michaelis) and is the one you shouldn’t miss.
Fondly referred to by Hamburg locals as ‘Der Michel’, this 132-meter behemoth is probably the city’s most famous architectural landmark. The church was originally constructed in 1647 and has undergone several renovations.
The sumptuous interior features some amazing organs and a marble pulpit. We thought this was pretty impressive for a Protestant church since they are normally so barren.
![hamburg a tour Don't miss out on this beautiful view from St. Michael's church in Hamburg!](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-view.jpg)
If you’re up for an athletic challenge you can climb the 450-odd steps to the viewing platform or take the elevator as we did. From here you can enjoy a sweeping panorama of Hamburg.
If, however, you’re not fond of heights you can descend to the vast 17th-century crypt that lies beneath the church and contains the remains of 2400 people, including some of Hamburg’s most influential residents.
St. Michael’s Church is open daily, year-round. The opening hours of St. Michael’s Church are 09:00-19:30 (May-September), 09:00-18:30 (April & October), and 10:00-17:30 (November-March).
Entrance to the church is free but if you want to go to the observation deck it costs 6 EUR.
9. St. Pauli Landing Bridges
![hamburg a tour Things to see in Hamburg: View of the iconic St. Pauli Landing Bridges at sunset, one of the best things to see when spending 24 hours in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/One-Day-in-Hamburg-St.-Pauli-Landing-Bridges.jpg)
No day of sightseeing in Hamburg would be complete without paying a visit to the iconic St. Pauli Landing Bridges (Landungsbrücken), undoubtedly one of the best things to do in Hamburg.
The Landing Bridges comprise ten floating pontoons, measuring 700 meters in total. The long passenger hall, which forms part of the complex, was built in 1907–09.
The Landing Bridges initially served as a place for steamships to dock before heading overseas. Today, the complex consists of Art Nouveau reception halls with archways to the pontoon, two corner towers, and cupolas.
New pontoons were added after the complex suffered heavy damage during World War II.
The buskers, souvenir stands, and boat companies touting their tours create a colorful hustle and bustle. Numerous restaurants, bars, and food kiosks are also found along the St. Pauli Landing Bridges.
10. Hamburg Boat Tour
![hamburg a tour Massive cranes and container boxes in the Hamburg harbor in Germany](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/One-Day-in-Hamburg-Harbor-Tour.jpg)
Even if you’re just spending one day in Hamburg, a boat tour is a must-do. Hamburg is a port city at heart and the city’s character has been traditionally defined by its waterways.
Even today, the Port of Hamburg is the third-busiest port in Europe (after Rotterdam and Antwerp). Take a boat tour to experience Hamburg’s harbor and waterside districts.
It is the best way to get close to the docks, massive containers, hulking cranes, and the enormous freighters. The live commentary on board is insightful and entertaining.
Many of Hamburg’s harbor cruises depart from the St. Pauli Landing Bridges. There are plenty of options to choose from. Two good ones I can recommend are:
- Hamburg Harbor Cruise (1 hr)
- Port of Hamburg Cruise (2 hrs)
11. Old Elbtunnel (Alter Elbtunnel)
![hamburg a tour The Elbtunnel is probably one of Hamburg's most iconic sights.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-elbtunnel.jpg)
One of the best things to do during your one day in Hamburg is paying a visit to the Old Elbtunnel aka the St. Pauli Elbtunnel. It is a famous pedestrian and vehicle tunnel in Hamburg.
It was constructed in 1911 as a means to lessen commuting problems for thousands of harbor workers. The tunnel reaches a depth of 24 meters and at 426.5 meters it is the longest river tunnel in the world.
It is still used by thousands of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists as the quickest route under the Elbe. It takes less than 10 minutes to walk from one side to the other.
I really loved how the interior walls of the tunnel are filled with carvings of nautical motifs and vintage signage. Entry is free for pedestrians round the clock.
Hamburg is Germany’s most important media city. It is home to more than 13,000 companies in the industry. Popular German language publications like DIE ZEIT and DER SPIEGEL have their headquarters in Hamburg. Many successful films have used Hamburg as a backdrop such as ‘Hanna’ and ‘The Odessa File’.
12. Grab some Hamburg Delicacies
Your 1 day Hamburg itinerary wouldn’t be complete without sampling some local delicacies.
While Hamburg has some great cuisine, the standouts are Fischbrötchen & Franzbrötchen. These are two foods you have to try when visiting the city and are sure to stimulate your taste buds.
Fischbrötchen
![hamburg a tour Much on a traditional Fischbrötchen during your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-fischbrötchen.jpg)
One food you absolutely have to try in Hamburg is fischbrötchen, a simple bun sandwich that is prepared with fish (traditionally with pickled or soused herring) and topped with onions, pickles, and remoulade. Other kinds of seafood like mackerel, shrimp, crab, and salmon can also be used.
Being a seafood lover, I gobbled several fischbrötchen during our stay in Hamburg and would recommend the traditional herring one because it is simply divine!
Some of the best places to have the fischbrötchen are Brücke 10 , Fischbrötchen König by the St. Pali Piers, near the harbor. Fiscbrötchen goes down perfectly with some great German beer!
Franzbrötchen
![hamburg a tour Franzbrötchen are the perfect snack while you're out exploring during your day in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-franzbrotchen.jpg)
Franzbrötchen is a heavenly pastry, baked with butter and cinnamon that is ubiquitous in Hamburg’s bakeries.
Sugar and cinnamon are traditionally only used, but sometimes ingredients such as marzipan, chocolate, or raisins are added. Just thinking of that crunchy coating makes me hungry.
13. Kunsthalle Hamburg
![hamburg a tour On a rainy day, make sure to stop by the famous Kunsthalle in Hamburg.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-kunsthalle.jpg)
When spending 24 hours in Hamburg a visit to the Kunsthalle, one of the best art museums in Germany, is a must. This amazing museum was one of the highlights of our Hamburg trip.
Its superb permanent collection of paintings, sculptures, and artworks span over 700 years of art history. The various collections are arranged in chronological order across three buildings, all of which are connected.
The museum’s Old Masters Collection and 19th-century artworks are some of the best we’ve seen. Stalwarts from those eras such as Goya, Manet, Monet, Rembrandt, Canaletto, and Van Gogh are on exhibition here.
Jacky’s a big fan of 19th-century French Impressionism so she was chuffed with the collection here. The collection also includes some noteworthy German Romanticist paintings by Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, and Max Liebermann.
Four of the highlights of the Kunsthalle are Philipp Otto Runge’s beautiful Morning , Edouard Manet’s empathetic Nana , and Caspar David Friedrich’s dramatic Wanderer above the Sea of Fog and The Polar Sea .
Don’t forget to check out the outstanding altarpiece painted for St. Peter’s Church in 1379 by Master Bertram, Hamburg’s first painter known by name.
![hamburg a tour You could probably spend an eternity in the Hamburg Kunsthalle.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/24-hours-in-hamburg-kunsthalle.jpg)
The Kunsthalle’s modern art and contemporary art collection are top-notch. Among the venerable collection, you’ll come across canvases by 20th-century greats such as Munch, Beuys, Picasso, Kirchner, Dix, Kandinsky, Warhol, Klee, and Francis Bacon.
The Kunsthalle Hamburg is open Tuesday-Sunday from 10:00-18:00 (until 21:00 on Thursday). The entrance costs 14 EUR and is totally worth the price of admission.
A quick tour of the museum can be done in 90-120 minutes, but art connoisseurs can easily spend a whole day (or two) admiring the entire collection.
14. Reeperbahn & Beatles Square
![hamburg a tour End your day in Hamburg with a visit to the infamous Reeperbahn.](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-reeperbahn.jpg)
Finish your one day in Hamburg by heading to the Reeperbahn, Europe’s most famous entertainment and gambling hub, which lies in the St. Pauli district.
The Reeperbahn and some of its side streets are home to Europe’s biggest red-light district. This has led the area to be infamously dubbed as “The World’s Most Sinful Mile” and “Kiez.”
Though commercialized sex thrives in many cities, Hamburg has triumphed better than virtually all other places at converting it into a tourist attraction.
The name “Reeperbahn” actually stems from the old Low German word Reep meaning “heavy rope”. In the 18th century, thick hemp ropes were produced here for sailing ships in the Hamburg docks.
Hamburg’s first theater opened on the Reeperbahn in 1842, and from there, there was no looking back into any manner of debauchery. Since the 1940s, many entertainment venues opened their doors, including many strip clubs and sex shops.
You don’t have to worry about whether the Reeperbahn is safe as the area is naturally heavily policed. On the corner of Reeperbahn and Davidstraße is the Davidwache , the most famous police station in Germany.
Herbertstraße is the most notorious street around the Reeperbahn where sex workers sitting in plate-glass windows display their ‘charms’ to window shoppers. This street is sealed off by a barrier and is usually off-limits to females.
Make sure to take a stroll down the neon-heavy Grosse Freiheit , which recalls the area’s swinging Sixties vibe, popularized during The Beatles’ stint. The street’s name – Great Freedom – refers to a liberal area of free trade and religion in the seventeenth century, rather than loose morals.
Reeperbahn and the district that it is located in (St. Pauli) have so much more to offer than eroticism though and there are several other attractions here.
For example, Reeperbahn has now become Germany’s answer to Broadway and is home to a slew of theaters and playhouses such as the St. Pauli Theater and the Schmidt Theater.
To get a better insight into this intriguing neighborhood, you can opt for this excellent St. Pauli & Reeperbahn guided walking tour .
Reeperbahn is not as sleazy as it used to be and has garnered a more reputable image of late. The sex industry is still around but the area has undergone gentrification over the years.
Nowadays, dive bars and flophouses sit beside trendy eateries and design hotels. We even saw several families strolling with their kids here.
![hamburg a tour The Beatles Square on Hamburg's Reeperbahn is a must-see!](https://www.nomadepicureans.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/one-day-in-hamburg-beetles-square.jpg)
At the end of Reeperbahn, you can find the Beatles Platz , life-size steel silhouettes of the Fab Four made to resemble a vinyl record. It was here in the clubs just off the Reeperbahn that the Beatles polished their act, playing 12-hour-long gigs in front of drunken revelers.
Although the statues are rather plain looking during the day, they present a good photo op when they’re lit up at night.
History 101: Beatles in Hamburg
St. Pauli is also known as the area where the Beatles famously refined their act in the early 1960s playing in clubs just off the street, playing 12-hour-long gigs in front of drunken revelers, sailors, prostitutes, and hooligans. This association with the city purportedly led John Lennon to say “I was born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg.” The Beatles first arrived in Hamburg in August 1960 having been signed by Bruno Koschmider, a nightclub owner and entrepreneur with a dodgy history. Their first gig was at Koschmider’s Indra Club and they initially stayed in a couple of windowless rooms in the back of the Bambi Kino cinema. Over the next two and a half years, the Fab Four visited Hamburg five times and played almost 300 concerts in the city. You can still visit some places where they performed, including the Kaiserkeller (Grosse Freiheit 36), Indra (Grosse Freiheit 64) and Top Ten Club (Reeperbahn 136). Five life-size steel silhouettes made to resemble a vinyl record at Beatles Platz pays homage to the original five Beatles.
15. Dinner in the Reeperbahn
Cap off your one day of sightseeing in Hamburg by treating yourself to a great dinner. Luckily, the Reeperbahn has an array of fantastic restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine.
You can check out Freudenhaus St. Pauli for some traditional North German fare or Man Wah for authentic Chinese cuisine.
Try the Labskaus (a traditional seaman’s stew that is made of finely chopped salted beef, potatoes, red beetroots, and other kinds of vegetables, such as celery and leek, as well as salted herring) if you go to the former.
Where to Stay in Hamburg
The great thing about Hamburg is how easily it can be navigated by public transport, especially by metro. It’s a good idea to stay anywhere on the metro line (i.e. a 5-minute walk from the nearest metro station).
We stayed in the up-and-coming district of St. Georg which is a fun mix of immigrant culture and a growing LGBTQ scene.
Hostel: Generator Hostel , a great choice right next to the Central railway station
Budget: Motel One Hamburg-Alster , an unpretentious choice in the St. Georg district
Mid-range: Hotel Europäischer Hof Hamburg , an excellent choice within 2 minutes of the Central railway station
Splurge: SIDE Design Hotel , a sumptuous top-choice pick near Jungfernstieg and the Alster Lakes
Extending Your Stay
If you have any more time to spare than 24 hours in Hamburg, we strongly recommend that you stay for a little longer. It will give you a chance to check out more of the city’s beautiful harbor, excellent museums, and bohemian quarters.

7 thoughts on “One Day in Hamburg: How to Spend the Perfect 24 Hours in Hamburg”
Thank you for the wonderful guide. We had only one day to visit Hamburg. Your guide did not disappoint!
Thank you Julie! Glad you found the guide helpful 🙂
We will be there as a stop on our cruise in the fall 2023. Will there be any Octoberfest celebrations happening at that time? If so, can you recommend where we should stop? Sadly, they changed the itinerary and we will only be there until 3PM. Also, is it necessary for us to book an excursion ($$) through our cruise ship, or is the city easily accessible from the port?
Hello Mihir, thank you for all this information! I live in France for past 12 years, and previously went to Germany several times ( Koln, Berlin, Trier, Aachen…) , this year I would like to go to Hamburg in winter with my 7 years old daughter. Especially I would like to see Miniature World museum and Christmas market. I don’t decide yet because I found Hambourg is less beautiful than Dresden, or Stuttgart, it’s not a “small cozy historical town”, in your pictures it looks like Helsinki which I found totally without charm ( except their islands). Wish in real life it’s better…. Best regards, Marina
It’s true that Hamburg isn’t as postcard-perfect as Dresden, Nüremberg, or Lübeck. However, it’s certainly way more dynamic and interesting than Helsinki. Miniature Wonderland and Hamburg’s Christmas markets are well-worth visiting. Happy travels 🙂
I have called Hamburg home since 2015, and I must say you’ve encapsulated the “must -haves” very well! Prost!
Thank you Nicola 🙂

15 Best Hamburg Tours
After the capital of Berlin, Hamburg, with its nearly 1.9 million residents, is the second-largest city in Germany.
It’s also one of Germany’s federal states and is bordered by Schleswig-Holstein to the north, and to the south by Lower Saxony.
Though it’s not located directly on the North Sea, it’s connected via the River Elbe, which has made it a commercial hub for centuries, and one of the country’s economic powerhouses.
Hamburg features a variety of historical sites, tons of natural beauty, and all the big-city attractions international visitors expect.
Below are 15 of the best tours of Hamburg.
1. 3 ½-Hour Bike Tour
![hamburg a tour Hamburg, Germany](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_620589149.jpg)
Despite its bustling streets and millions of residents, Hamburg has many areas that are perfectly accessible to those traveling by bike.
On this 3 ½-hour guided tour, eager peddlers will be taken to many of the city’s most iconic attractions, including St Michael’s Church, the Alster Lakes, the Town Hall, and the world-renowned Reeperbahn.
Brief stops are made at each attraction; participants will have time to ask questions, snap a few photos, and have a quick drink before heading off to the next site.
Due to the city’s relative flatness, tours are appropriate for those of most ages and levels of physical ability.
2. 2-Hour Hamburg Port Tour
![hamburg a tour Hamburg Port Tour](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1181662084.jpg)
According to commerce statistics, the Port of Hamburg is second only in volume to Rotterdam. It’s almost always abuzz with arriving and departing freight vessels from all over the world.
The port is largely responsible for Germany’s economic might and features one of the most modern overseas container facilities on the continent.
It’s also home to fish markets, seedy stretches that cater to sailors’ every whim, and historical attractions as well.
This 2-hour tour is a pleasant alternative to city tours and leaves plenty of time to explore on your own or hook-up with another two or three-hour tour afterward.

3. Evening Illumination Cruise through Harbor
![hamburg a tour Hamburg Harbor by Night](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_23531743.jpg)
Evening cruises around Hamburg’s harbor are the perfect way to end an exhausting activity-filled day.
As the evening light fades, the city becomes awash in vibrant light that makes for truly remarkable views.
The bustling container terminal is an impressive sight, as are the bevy of canals, the International Maritime Museum, and the Marco Polo Tower – to name just a few included attractions.
Along the way, guests will benefit from anecdotes of local history offered by their guide, and get a totally new perspective of the layout of the city, as well as its history, cultural, and maritime commerce tradition.
4. City Tour with Hop-On Hop-Off Ticket
![hamburg a tour Hop-On Hop-Off Hamburg](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1451203919.jpg)
Discovering Hamburg on your own terms couldn’t be easier for those who purchase hop-on-hop-off city tour tickets.
Hop-on-hop-off tours give savvy travelers access to a number of sites and allow them to see and experience the things that interest them while ignoring those that don’t.
For many guests, there are too many attractions to visit in a day, but perennial favorites include the St. Pauli Piers, Miniature Wonderland, Hans Albers Square, and the Reeperbahn.
Depending on the weather and their level of exhaustion, guests may choose to stay on the bus as little or as much as they want—at least until something strikes their fancy.
5. Haunted Hamburg Tour
![hamburg a tour Hamburg Speicherstadt at Night](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1611553819.jpg)
From long-lost ghost ships and medieval witches to demons and the downright unexplainable, Hamburg is an eerie place after dark.
This two-hour guided night tour is a perfect fit for lovers of the odd and macabre. It offers guests a slice of the city that isn’t often experienced by more traditional tourists.
Along with their guide, guests will make their way to several supposedly haunted sites that seem perfectly normal by day.
The Reeperbahn, St. Catherine’s Church, and the Quarter of the Crooked Moon are all on the itinerary, but tours are best left to those 12-years and older.
6. 3-Hour Culinary Tour of the Schanzenviertel
![hamburg a tour Culinary Tour of the Schanzenviertel](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-tour_img-879849-148-1024x538.jpg)
Featuring a staggering number of nearly unpronounceable epicurean destinations for English-speaking visitors, this 3-hour culinary tour is still a popular option for lovers of all things food-related.
Many of the city’s oldest neighborhoods are known for their distinct cuisines. On this tour, guests will have ample time to explore them, meet locals, and sample a variety of traditional and contemporary dishes.
Tours stop by at least five different locations and include elements of history, politics, and contemporary issues that most guests find intriguing, like gentrification, commerce, and labor issues.
Guests are encouraged to show up with empty stomachs and open minds.
7. 1-Hour Harbor Cruise
![hamburg a tour Hamburg Harbor Cruise](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1473062735.jpg)
For centuries Hamburg and other Hanseatic cities dominated much of the region’s maritime trade, and the city still boasts more canals, bridges, and locks than nearly any other place in Europe.
Seeing the city from the water on this 1-hour harbor cruise tour is an excellent use of valuable vacation time, because it covers parts of Hamburg that those stuck on land just won’t see.
Tour highlights include impressive bridges, the container terminal, and the Speicherstadt warehouse district.
Tour vessels include shaded sun decks and ample indoor seating for those who prefer cold drinks and air-conditioning to sun and sea breezes.
8. Following the Footsteps of Olivia Reeperbahn Tour
![hamburg a tour Reeperbahn Hamburg](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_665972497.jpg)
According to those who’ve already experienced it, Hamburg’s Reeperbahn neighborhood is akin to Las Vegas, only sleazier and more glitzy.
Also an uber-concentrated pocket of everything that makes Hamburg what it is, it is, therefore, a must-visit attraction for the adventurous and un-prudish.
The area features a little bit of everything – from seedy cocktail bars and drag-queen shows to iconic football stadiums and cabaret venues.
Though it’s generally the exclusive realm of the young and crazy, this 2 ½-hour tour has its fair share of older visitors as well, so if you fall into the latter category, consider stepping out of your comfort zone.
9. Hamburg Harbor Light Tour
![hamburg a tour Hamburg Harbor Lights](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_235811602.jpg)
As the sun drops behind the skyline, Hamburg’s harbor becomes engulfed in a myriad of lights that make it particularly stunning.
In fact, the lights at the port and container terminal are so bright that they cast the city in an aura, making the skyline stand-out against the night sky.
This evening tour lasts 90 minutes and includes engaging historic narration from the captain-guide along the way.
Visited sights vary slightly depending on the tide and season, and a number of special tours are offered periodically, so check to see what’s on their schedule before booking your excursion.
10. Sex and Crime in St. Pauli
![hamburg a tour St Pauli, Hamburg](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1359571652.jpg)
Hamburg’s St. Pauli District has a well-deserved reputation for being one of the city’s grittiest neighborhoods.
It’s a pleasant mix of gangsters, strip clubs, show bars, and training facilities for world-class boxers.
On this two-hour tour, guests will experience a side of the city that’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
Led by their guide, participants will learn about the competing gangs that vie for control of the area, colorful criminals who’ve stalked the streets of the red-light district in the past and visit a few of the city’s most unique clubs.
Tours begin and end at a central Hamburg location.
11. HafenCity 3-Hour Food Tour and Elbphilharmonie Visit
![hamburg a tour HafenCity 3-Hour Food Tour](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-tour_img-1228315-146.jpg)
Even by value-packed combo tour standards, this 3-hour HafenCity food and Elbphilharmonie option is quite a gem.
The tour combines elements of food, history, culture, and the city’s robust and bustling economy into one streamlined package.
Things kick-off with a brief intro and food tasting in HafenCity.
Guests will also visit a warehouse complex that’s now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, ride on the country’s longest escalator, and take in panoramic views of the sprawling city and harbor below.
At the Elbphilharmonie, you and your group will learn about the renowned music venue before continuing on to the tour’s culinary finale.
12. Ticket to the Panoptikum Waxworks
![hamburg a tour Panoptikum Waxworks](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-tour_img-346747-148-1024x538.jpg)
Guided tours are great options for travelers looking to make the most of their time, but some attractions don’t warrant the extra cost of a live guide.
The Panoptikum Waxworks is the oldest facility of its kind in the country. It features more than 100 amazingly lifelike figures of celebrities, politicians, scoundrels, royalty, and historically significant figures from all over the world.
Each exhibit is accompanied by an explanation of just who it is that you’re seeing. As such, there’s not much use in having a guide along for the ride.
Audio guides are available in multiple languages, as are local professional ones if you’re interested.
13. 1 ½-Hour Chocoversum Tour
![hamburg a tour Chocoversum, Hamburg](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1397821508.jpg)
German chocolatiers have been churning out some of the world’s most sought after confections for countless generations.
This short tour of the Chocoversum Museum is not only fun and unique, but engaging and educational as well, making it a great fit for those of most ages.
It’s an interactive experience, which means that guests will see and learn about the chocolate-making process from beginning to end, and they’ll have the opportunity to get involved if they so desire.
Admission and multiple samples are included, and each guest gets their own chocolate bar to take with them when the tour is over.
14. Guided AIDA Ship Tour with Lunch
![hamburg a tour AIDA Ship](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1368109193.jpg)
For many international travelers, the thought of being crammed into a tiny cabin on a crowded cruise ship for days on end isn’t too appealing.
But for those who’d still like to get a behind-the-scenes look at one of the magnificent vessels, this guide AIDA ship tour would be a great way to spend three hours.
AIDA’s cruise ships are known for the abundant amenities and fun activities designed with younger travelers in mind.
Guests will see parts of the ship that are typically off-limits, and get insider’s insights into how everything works.
Tours include a buffet-style lunch and non-alcoholic drinks.
15. St. Pauli Nighttime Tour
![hamburg a tour St. Pauli, Hamburg at Night](https://cdn.thecrazytourist.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/ccimage-shutterstock_1322960612.jpg)
Like beer and shots?
Prefer to rub elbows with bimbos, sailors, pimps, and criminals rather than boring tourists?
If so, read on, because this whirlwind nighttime tour of Hamburg’s St. Pauli area has your name on it.
Along with their guide, guests will follow in the footsteps of prominent visitors – like the Beatles – who decided it to slum it for an evening in the city’s most sinful quarter.
Interesting tales of debauchery and tomfoolery abound; you’ll hear them in all their splendor while imbibing and people-watching in one of the city’s standout attractions.

18 Best Things to Do in Hamburg, Germany
Updated Feb. 11, 2021
Most of Hamburg's attractions, such as the Hamburger Kunsthalle , Miniatur Wunderland and the trendy HafenCity neighborhood, are clustered in the city center and Harbour districts. But you should explore Hamburg's other neighborhoods to experience
- All Things To Do
![hamburg a tour hamburg a tour](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/566a17a/2147483647/resize/255x255^>/crop/255x255/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2F14826_ralfbrunner_elbphilharmoniebruecke_171228_variant_2_qROTaCU.jpg)
Elbphilharmonie Elbphilharmonie free
A stunning architectural marvel often compared to Sydney's opera house , the Elbphilharmonie is a concert hall and performance space designed by the Pritzker Architecture Prize-winning Swiss architecture firm Herzog & de Meuron. As soon as it opened in 2016, it became an instant architectural icon thanks to its wave-like rooftop and glass façade. Luckily, you don't need tickets to a show to enjoy the striking space.
A public viewing platform is open to everyone and offers breathtaking, 360-degree views of the city and the harbor – a particular highlight for recent visitors. While admission to the viewing plaza is free, you do need a ticket to enter. Advance booking is available and recommended by recent visitors, though a booking fee of 2 euros (or about $2.25) applies. Reviewers also recommended taking a harbor cruise to admire the building from the water.
![hamburg a tour](https://travel.usnews.com/dims4/USNEWS/566a17a/2147483647/resize/255x255^>/crop/255x255/quality/85/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftravel.usnews.com%2Fimages%2F14826_ralfbrunner_elbphilharmoniebruecke_171228_variant_2_qROTaCU.jpg)
Alter Elbtunnel Alter Elbtunnel free
The Alter Elbtunnel (also called the Old Elbe Tunnel, St. Pauli Elbe Tunnel) is a pedestrian, bike and motorist tunnel (though cars are not permitted), which travels underneath the River Elbe. It connects central Hamburg to the southern side of the river. Opened in 1911, the tunnel was built to serve the port and shipyard workers as a connecting route between the Landungsbrücken and Steinwerder piers. It became a tourist attraction when the "new" Elbe tunnel opened in the 1970s. It has been undergoing renovation for the past several years.
While walking through the quarter-mile-long tunnel, take time to look at the tile reliefs that line the walls, which portray starfish, dolphins and other creatures. Past travelers enjoyed the experience of walking beneath the river and taking in the great view from the opposing side. Others said it provides an interesting photo opportunity, though there is little else to do.

Planten un Blomen Planten un Blomen free
Planten un Blomen , which translates as the very imaginative Plants and Flowers, spans over 100 acres and is a favorite among locals and travelers. Referred to as "Hamburg's green lung," it is home to various themed gardens, including a rose garden, Mediterranean terraces and one of the largest Japanese landscaped gardens in Europe. Planten un Blomen offers much more than the eponymous "plants and flowers." There are playgrounds, mini-golf, an ice rink in winter and a roller rink in summer, and even life-size chess games. There are also several cafes and food kiosks.
Many past visitors said the park is a relaxing place to unwind and highly recommend touring the Japanese garden. Others said the park is well-maintained and a worthy stop even in the offseason.

Hamburg Boat Tours Hamburg Boat Tours
No visit to Hamburg is complete without getting out on the water. The easiest, not to mention one of the least expensive, ways to enjoy Hamburg by water is via a public ferry. Head to the Landungsbrücken piers and hop aboard one of Hamburg's many public transportation options.
One of the most popular ferry trips is aboard the No. 62 toward Finkenwerder island, which takes 30 minutes and allows you to see some of the city's most important waterfront sights. You can also hop on a guided tour, many of which also operate from the piers at Landungsbrücken. You'll enjoy an overview of the industrial docks, the historic Speicherstadt warehouses and modern architecture highlights such as HafenCity Hamburg and the Elbphilharmonie . Rainer Abicht Elbreederei and Barkassen-Centrale Ehlers GmbH earn high marks from recent tour-goers. You can find more information about available harbor cruises on the city's tourism website .

Fish Auction Hall and Market Fish Auction Hall and Market free
All-night revelers finish up their partying at the Sunday morning St. Pauli Fischmarkt (Fish Auction Hall and Market) and early morning shoppers get a head start on the day. Not only are there stalls brimming with fresh fish and other goods, there's also steaming hot bratwursts, free-flowing beer and even an energetic band to keep the jovial atmosphere alive. It's also one of those uniquely Hamburg attractions, one which has been an institution since 1703. If you sleep in (or you're just getting to bed after bar hopping), you'll miss out on the Fischmarkt; it's open on early Sunday mornings only.
Recent visitors who knew what they were in for say the scene is fun and festive, while those looking for a traditional market were a bit disappointed. Reviewers described the scene as merry, with many comparing it to Oktoberfest.

Self-described as the world's largest model railway, the more than 10,000-square-foot Miniatur Wunderland takes visitors around the world to admire models of miniature-sized countries and cities, including Southern Germany, Hamburg, USA, Scandinavia, Switzerland and Venice. Across nine different sections are more than 1,000 trains, 130,000 trees and nearly 250,000 figures.
Recent visitors offered rave reviews for Miniatur Wunderland, saying it was appealing to both kids and adults alike. Others were in awe of the attention to detail. However, a few warned that since this is a popular attraction, it can get very crowded. Miniatur Wunderland advises timing your visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the largest crowds.

St. Michael's Church St. Michael's Church
St. Michael's, Hamburg's largest church, is actually the third church to be built in the same spot and was constructed in 1912. Visitors flock to the landmark church to see its five different organs, its 65-foot altar, its crypt and the amazing views from the nearly 350-foot-high observation deck. The church's 433-foot-tall tower, home to Germany's largest clock bell, is visible from all over the city. In the crypt far below, about 2,000 people have been laid to rest.
Views from the top are not to be missed, according to recent visitors. Others described the church's interior as "ethereal." What's more, travelers were pleased with the affordable admission fee.

Hamburg Zoo (Tierpark Hagenbeck) Hamburg Zoo (Tierpark Hagenbeck)
The Tierpark Hagenbeck (or Hamburg Zoo) is owned by the Hagenbeck family; Carl Hagenbeck, Jr. (who founded the zoo in 1907) was a wild animal trader and merchant. One of his innovations was to use moats instead of cages to enclose animals, a practice still used to this day. Today, visitors can encounter thousands of animals at the zoo, including one of the largest elephant herds in Europe. Of special note is the four-level Tropical Aquarium, an artificial habitat comprising more than 14,300 animals, including Nile crocodiles and around 13,000 fish. There are also several restaurants, playgrounds for kids, feeding demonstrations and a recreation park, among other attractions.
Recent visitors advised allowing plenty of time to check out all of the exhibits (some said they spent the whole day at the zoo) and said it's a great family-friendly activity. Reviewers were particularly fascinated by the walruses and polar bears. According to travelers, the zoo provides food to feed select animals (donations are encouraged).

Emigration Museum BallinStadt Hamburg Emigration Museum BallinStadt Hamburg
Just as compelling and moving as Ellis Island, this museum and ancestral research center conveys the story of European emigration to the United States and elsewhere. The museum occupies the land originally used by the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt-Aktien-Gesellschaft (HAPAG) shipping company for the city's Emigration Halls, which were built 120 years ago to accommodate people from all over Europe hoping to sail across the Atlantic. To lessen the likelihood of immigrants being sent back from the United States due to illness or other reasons (at the shipping company's cost), HAPAG offered medical examinations. Millions of people passed through the complex, which at one point included a hospital, a church, a music hall, housing and even hotels.
There are several halls that detail why people were emigrating, their journey across the ocean and what happened when they reached America, with interactive exhibits, displays, photos and artifacts. For an even more immersive experience, consider grabbing a bite to eat at the on-site restaurant Nach Amerika (or "To America"), which serves meals based on recipes used in the canteens of the former Emigration Halls. Visitors can also search complete passenger lists of all the ships that left the harbor in the family research area.

Hamburger Kunsthalle Hamburger Kunsthalle
One of Germany's great art museums (and one of its largest in terms of exhibition space), the Hamburger Kunsthalle boasts an extensive collection of paintings and sculptures – both old and new. The permanent collection encompasses art from eight centuries – with some pieces dating back to the Middle Ages. In the modern and contemporary sections, artists like Andy Warhol, Max Beckmann and Bruce Nauman are represented; in the older sections, you'll find works by Rembrandt and Anthony van Dyck, as well as a noted collection of works by German Romantic painters.
The museum is a highlight for many recent visitors, who rave about the excellent collection, especially the representation of German painters. Others were impressed by the building.

City Hall (Rathaus) City Hall (Rathaus)
The Rathaus (City Hall) is big – bigger than London's immense Buckingham Palace – and according to travelers, it's one of the best sights in Hamburg. Resting on a square, inspired by Venice's Piazza San Marco , the neo-renaissance building's formidable exterior opens into a lavish interior, which is peopled by Hamburg's city council and state government officials. English-language tours take about 45 minutes and wind past the opulent state rooms, a mere fraction of the 647 rooms located on-site.
Recent visitors called the building "beautiful" and recommended taking the tour if you can.

International Maritime Museum International Maritime Museum
Located in a former warehouse, the International Maritime Museum offers a look at 3,000 years of maritime history across nine floors, with a stunning number of exhibits, artifacts and more, including thousands of model ships – a highlight for many recent visitors. Others were pleasantly surprised with the interesting and informative exhibits. One of its most treasured pieces is a copy of the "Atlantis Majoris" from 1657, the first nautical atlas printed in the Netherlands. Other exhibits include medals and uniforms from navies around the world, displays of commercial and passenger shipping and works by well-known maritime painters. One way to tackle the massive museum is by taking a 60- or 90-minute tour, which is offered in English, and costs 70 euros (about $77) and 80 euros (around $88), respectively. Audio guides are also available for a much smaller cost.
Recent visitors called the museum "fascinating" and said you should be prepared to do a lot of walking throughout its various levels and set aside several hours. However, some reviewers expressed disappointment that a few exhibits did not offer English translations.

Speicherstadt Speicherstadt free
The red brick buildings of the Speicherstadt (Warehouse District) used to shelter the city's imports – coffee, spices, silks – which were carried fresh off the boats in the harbor. In 2015, Speicherstadt became Germany's 40th UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, this area full of neo-Gothic buildings, mostly constructed between 1883 and the late 1920s that are fun to see on foot. Though there are a few attractions within the area, including Miniatur Wunderland and the International Maritime Museum , it mostly attracts visitors in search of photo ops and a picturesque stroll. Popular photo spots include the Wasserschloss (or "water castle") at the end of Holländischer Birdge and Fleetschlösschen, a former customs booth.
Recent visitors call the area magical and recommend taking a canal tour if you can. A few reviewers said it's worth visiting at night when the area is beautifully illuminated.

Reeperbahn Reeperbahn free
Hamburg's Reeperbahn once rivaled Amsterdam's Red Light District for its sex trade, but times have changed (slightly). Located in St. Pauli, the Reeperbahn is a nightlife hub, still notorious for its corridor of sex shops, strip shows and brothels, though there are plenty of other non-X-rated activities and sights, from dive bars to the Beatles monument (the Beatles made their mark in Hamburg). St. Pauli is now almost better-known for its huge live-music scene, with clubs, bars, theaters and music venues. The annual Reeperbahn Festival in September brings in around 25,000 people to hear live music.
Recent Reeperbahn visitors found the area interesting to see, with plenty of music and pubs to check out. Others warned of potential pickpockets.

Hamburg Planetarium Hamburg Planetarium
Head to the Hamburg Planetarium to see everything from children's films to 3D trips through the solar system. The art deco building dates back to 1912 and is considered one of the world's oldest observatories. Visitors can also enjoy concerts and other musical shows in the enormous domed hall. The high-tech planetarium claims it's the most modern planetarium in the world. Previous shows include "Night Flight through the Galaxy," "Laser Zeppelin," and the "Green Planet 3D." After your show, head up to the rooftop terrace for unparalleled city views.
Recent visitors were impressed with the planetarium and highly recommend seeing a show there. Others suggested taking a stroll through the lovely Stadtpark City Park, where the planetarium is located, before or after a show.

The city of Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany and is renowned for its vibrant music scene, having birthed famous bands like The Beatles. Despite being an urban center, Hamburg boasts ample green spaces, including canals, parks, and lakes. It is also a hub for innovation and technology, with a thriving startup scene. If you want to add to this itinerary, try to spend a day in Berlin or more!
Where is Hamburg, Germany? Why should I visit Hamburg?
Hamburg is a major city located in the northern part of Germany. It is situated on the southern shore of the Jutland Peninsula and is bordered by the North Sea to the northwest. Hamburg is known for being an important port city and is often referred to as the “Gateway to the World” due to its historic role as a center of international trade. It is the second-largest city in Germany and serves as a vital economic and cultural hub in the region.

How to Get Around During Your One Day in Hamburg
We found it fairly easy to walk around this city – it’s a German’s favorite past time. However, you might not be able to get around the entire city by foot. Many parts of the city are quite far apart from each other which can make it quite difficult to travel around. There are a few options on ways you can travel around for your one day in Hamburg.

Public Transportation in Hamburg
Hamburg boasts an exceptional and user-friendly public transportation system, encompassing the U-Bahn (subway), S-Bahn (trains), buses, as well as a variety of boats and ships. With this comprehensive network, accessing the city’s major attractions is a breeze. Whether you’re exploring historical landmarks or vibrant neighborhoods, navigating between different modes of transport is remarkably seamless, ensuring a convenient and hassle-free travel experience.
In Hamburg, the average price for a single ticket is priced at 3.50 EUR, while a day ticket costs around 6.40 EUR (valid from 09:00 onwards) and proves beneficial if you intend to embark on multiple journeys throughout your day in the city. Alternatively, you can opt for the 24-hour Hamburg ticket, priced at 8.20 EUR, which offers extended flexibility and unlimited travel within the designated time frame. These ticket options ensure affordability and convenience, allowing you to explore Hamburg without any constraints.
I typically suggest public transportation, but this varies from person to person especially if you are on a tight timeline to see the most during one day in Hamburg. Sometimes it can be slow compared to other forms of transportation.

By FreeNow – Europe’s Uber
As an alternative, you can also grab FreeNow, which is an app and similar to Uber except typically used within Europe. I’ve used this several times in Germany, France, and other parts of Europe. We used it while in Hamburg because we were traveling with my Father in Law who was fairly jetlagged and tired of taking public transportation at the end of the day. I hardly saw taxis available, although there are a few within the city, I found it more convenient to take a FreeNow car.

By Bicycle or Scooter
If the weather is great traveling by bicycle or scooter is a great option. Although it is illegal to ride your bike on the sidewalks within Germany, so you must keep that in mind. You must cycle on the road with the traffic. You must always cycle on the right side of the road. This can be quite intimidating especially if you don’t know the traffic laws within Germany. If you don’t feel comfortable biking abroad, I suggest you join a biking tour in Hamburg .
Additionally, some scooters require you to have a driver’s license these days which has to be verified within the app.

In every town and city in Germany , you will always find a church. If you aren’t a religious person, you can easily skip this, however, many of the churches within Germany and many parts of Europe were designed to be beautiful. It was important to show how “rich” the city was based on the size and how intricate the church was.
St. Michael’s Church, locally known as “Michel,” is an iconic landmark and one of the most recognizable symbols of Hamburg. This impressive Protestant church stands proudly in the heart of the city’s historic center and offers visitors a glimpse into its rich history and architectural grandeur.

The construction of the Alter Elbtunnel began in 1907 and was completed in 1911. It was designed to provide a direct route for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the river, as the increasing traffic necessitated an alternative to ferry services.

How Many Days in Hamburg?
We’d all love to have unlimited time to kill in Hamburg and discover every corner of the versatile city – you’ll feel the same once breathing in the salty sea breeze.
However, most of us only have a few days and thus you might be wondering whether 2 days in are enough or if it’s safer to go with 3.
Hamburg is filled with so much culture and history while simultaneously serving as a key transportation hub for Europe’s largest economy. Just a heads up, if you want to visit the famous Fish Market, be sure to be in the city on a Sunday morning to experience its magic – this means a weekend in Hamburg is going to be the best option for you.
If you have the time, then 3 days in Hamburg are ideal. While in 2 days you can squeeze in most of the highlights, 3 days will allow you to experience the city to its fullest and get the most out of your itinerary.
![hamburg a tour City of Hamburg](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Hamburg-City-700x467.jpg)
Getting To & Around Hamburg
Hamburg is home to its own international airport, making a city break to this German metropolis an easy option from countless European destinations (and some further afield).
From Hamburg airport, you can take a quick 25-minute tram ride straight into the city centre. If you prefer to rent a car (you can browse Rentalcars.com for options) you’ll probably have to reserve in advance and if you’d rather get a taxi then you can find plenty of them right at the airport exit as well.
Of course, you can also reach Hamburg from most major German and European cities (like Copenhagen, Amsterdam , Frankfurt, Munich , Cologne or Dusseldorf ) on an international train or bus. Those modes of transport have the perk of dropping you off right at the centrally located main railway station. You can view schedules here .
Once you’re in the city, it’s extremely easy to walk around and hop on a tram, bus or even a ferry when necessary. Since parking in large cities is always a headache, we would recommend exploring the city using the excellent German public transportation.
These options are simple and affordable, plus you get to immerse yourself in Hamburg. You’ll save by buying a Hamburg Card in advance which gives you unlimited public transportation with free or discounted prices at main attractions and restaurants in the city.
You can purchase an individual ticket or Hamburg Card at a grey and red HVV ticket machine. With trams going every couple of minutes during the day, you will never have to wait too long for the next ride.

2 to 3-Day Hamburg Itinerary
We’ve made it from the airport to our hotel and we’re ready to hit the ground running in Hamburg. There is so much to see and experience in the city, so put on your comfortable walking shoes and get your camera ready because we’re making sure you get an excellent overview of Hamburg in 3 days.
Day 1 – Reeperbhan & St Pauli
There’s nothing like getting to know a city by strolling through its narrow streets and experiencing the atmosphere first-hand. On your first day, you start with a leisurely walk to see some of the main attractions and climb a historic church tower to get a birds-eye view of the city and find your bearings.
Start your walk at one of Hamburg’s must-see attractions, the famous Reeperbahn, also known as “Sin Mile”, in the iconic St. Pauli district – a great part of Hamburg to explore.
You might have heard the stories of the red-light district, which used to welcome sailors from around the world in search of some intimacy to take their minds off the sea. Today, the neighbourhood is largely gentrified and is home to the St. Pauli football club.
Hamburg’s red-light district is also considered the biggest in Europe hosting the famous Reeperbahn nightlife.
Fun fact, before they were famous, The Beatles performed at a few clubs on the Reeperbahn and John Lennon was quoted saying he “grew up in Hamburg.” After your morning stop, you will understand why.
Start your tour on the east end of the street at the Alter Elbpark. While strolling down neon-lit Reeperbahn, make sure to note the Casino Reeperbahn on your right – open until the early morning hours 7 days a week.
You’ll then pass Hamburg’s most famous musical house – the Operettenhaus – on your left and iconic Davidwache further down which is a historic brick police station featured in many German TV shows.
Finally, take a left turn right after the station and stop at the Herbertstraße entrance. Women and minors be warned, this is a small street where we’re not allowed to enter and where the original heritage of the Reeperbahn still lives on today.
If you want to learn more about the history of this district, you can organise a guided tour here.
![hamburg a tour St. Pauli district in Hamburg](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Hamburg-Harbour.jpg)
Alter Elbtunnel
Originally built to help dock workers navigate more directly from one side of the river Elbe to the other, the Old Elbe Tunnel runs 24 meters (about 79 feet) deep under the stream and connects the two shores. It has become a great attraction for its art, lamps and beauty and is one of the best things to do in Hamburg.
Visitors and city residents wishing to explore the tunnel can take a free lift or work their way through 260 steps total. Those driving can get across for a small fee in a hydraulically driven cage.
![hamburg a tour Old Elbe Tunnel](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Alter-Elbtunnel.jpg)
St. Pauli by Day
All around St. Pauli, you’ll find mesmerising graffiti and street art, people are encouraged to be as loud and flashy as they want. Aside from The Beatles, the area is big on music in general.
If you’re visiting Hamburg in September, you can take part in the annual Reeperbahn Festival which showcases international artists you may know as well as new, up-and-coming musicians.
If you’re travelling to the city in July, you can experience German music at its finest at the Schlagermove Parade around the first week of July.
Here you will hear all kinds of popular German disco and party songs. Even if you don’t speak or understand the language, you’ll leave knowing how to sing a few of the catchy tunes.
You can also try to catch the biggest festival in Northern Germany, Hamburger Dom, which takes place three times a year. You’ll find all the beloved fair rides, German food and other entertainment for the whole family.
St. Michael’s Church
Now after finishing the “Sin Mile” and taking a short detour, it’s time to climb up St. Michael’s Church, also known as the Michel, in Neustadt.
As the largest church and one of the main Lutheran churches in the city, unlike other churches that were originally Roman Catholic, the Michel was built Protestant from the start.
The church received its name from the dedication to the Archangel Michael, whose statue you can see at the front of the church.
Once you hop on the lift or walk up the stairs to reach the top, you will get a gorgeous overview of Hamburg. After the breathtaking view, you can spend time exploring the crypts and the impressive main floor of the church.
![hamburg a tour St. Michael's Church in Hamburg](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/St-Michaels-Church.jpg)
Portugiesenviertel
You’ve completed an exciting day in Hamburg, now it’s time to unwind at one of the many cute restaurants in Portugiesenviertel, Portuguese Quarter, near the riverbank.
Around the 1970s, many Portuguese and other southern Europeans moved to this area for the low cost of housing and close proximity to the port for those who wanted to take advantage of the job opportunities there.
Despite the Portuguese population in the neighbourhood having declined over time, it is still a great place for a lovely dinner with the majority of restaurants in the quarter still serving Portuguese, Spanish and other international dishes.
Whether you are in need of some tapas, pizza or fish, you’ll definitely find it here.
Day 2 – Hamburg Harbour
Hamburg is well-known for its harbour, with its port being the third largest in Europe and the largest in Germany. No wonder that with over 2,500 bridges, Hamburg is the city with the most river crossings in the world.
The city is lovingly referred to as the “Venice of the North” but it even has more bridges than Venice, Amsterdam and London combined! Today you will cross plenty of those.
Speicherstadt
If you’ve ever flipped through a book about Germany, you most likely saw a picture of the iconic Speicherstadt, its red-brick warehouses with the canal flowing in between the buildings and numerous bridges uniting them. This is a notable focal point on the port of Hamburg.
The Speicherstadt is one of the largest warehouse complexes in the world and stands on just oak poles on the Elbe River. Given the beauty of the neighbourhood and its historic significance, it was selected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
![hamburg a tour Speicherstadt](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Speicherstadt.jpg)
Kontorhausviertel
Just a short 10-minute walk away from the warehouse district towards the Altstadt and past the Rathausmarkt (the town hall square), you’ll come across a second UNESCO World Heritage Site —the Kontorhausviertel, which includes the first strictly office-only buildings in Europe.
The Kontorhausviertel, or Kontorhaus District, with its impressive architectural buildings that include some from the Brick Expressionism era, was built around 1912.
While in its early years the district was home to low-income families, today you can find quaint shops, cafes and hip restaurants. If you need some caffeine or a snack, you’ll find it here.
Next, you’ll walk down to the Baakenhafen Brücke and across the bridge to HafenCity.
This fairly new area is known for its modern architecture, which is a great contrast to the Speicherstadt. HafenCity is home to many of the major media companies and to the newest landmark in the city — the Elbphilarmonie.
Elbphilharmonie
As part of the HafenCity on the harbourside, the Elbphilharmonie is one of the newest additions to the city but people had to wait patiently for 10 years to see its completion after multiple construction delays.
With its grand opening in 2017, the unique concert hall held its first concert in January of that same year.
If you want to take a peek inside, you can book a tour or attend a concert there. To tour the concert hall, it will cost around €20 per person and you have the choice of a German or English language tour.
During the tour, you will get the full story of the Elbphilharmonie, covering its history, troublesome construction and musical relevance.
![hamburg a tour Elbphilharmonie](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Elbphilharmonie.jpg)
The International Maritime Museum
For those having chosen to visit Hamburg in 2 days, this will be the last stop of your city trip.
The International Maritime Museum is located in a warehouse in HafenCity and will give you a taste of Hamburg’s 3,000 years of nautical history. Its 10 floors are full of history and information and have something for people of all ages.
If maritime Hamburg does not interest you and you would rather like to go deeper into other parts of the city’s history, then the Museum of Hamburg History could be great for you. You can buy entry tickets here .
Alternatively, if you want to experience Hamburg’s history through art then the Hamburger Kunsthalle is perfect for you.
![hamburg a tour International Maritime Museum in Hamburg](https://www.theworldwasherefirst.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/International-Maritime-Museum.jpg)
Day 3 – Boat Tour, Gardens & Nightlife
If you walked too much on the first and second days, that’s no problem because on your third day will take a harbour boat tour to see the city from a different perspective. For those who only do 2 days in Hamburg, the following is what you might miss out on.
On the boat tour, you’ll be sure to see the magnificent Elbphilarmonie and all its architectural wonder by the water. As the boat zooms by, you’ll get to see the industrial side of the harbour where huge containers, tankers, ships and cranes live.
Along the way the guide will point out where some international celebrities have lived, for example, you’ll get a great view of the popular German singer Helene Fischer’s Hamburg apartment.
You can organise a day boat tour here or an evening tour here .
Alternatively, consider heading just north of the Alstadt and enjoying the lovely vibes of Alster Lake – a large, tranquil lake in Hamburg’s city centre.
Church of St. Nicholas
After the enjoyable boat tour, you’ll head over towards Altstadt to visit the Church of St. Nicholas. Like the Michel, the original St. Nicholas church was one of five of the Lutheran main churches in the city and was built in 1195.
It was originally built of wood but was unfortunately destroyed in 1842 due to a fire. It was then rebuilt with bricks but was again destroyed during World War II.
Today, what was left of the church still stands in Hamburg as a memorial and is the second-tallest landmark in the city. An elevator was added to the structure in 2005 and visitors can ride it up to the top for a grand panoramic view.

Right in the heart of the city, you’ll come across the magnificent Planten un Blomen Park. Here you’ll find various plants and flowers blooming depending on the season with different themed gardens spread throughout the park, like the popular Japanese gardens.
The park includes an assortment of fountains that not only illuminate both day and night but also fill the air with classical music. You can enjoy the music and view, while smelling the delicious scent of lemon and fig trees.

Auf der Trabrennbahn in Hamburg : Remmidemmi mit Deichkind am Freitag
Ausgefallene Outfits gehören bei Konzerten von Deichkind zum Standard
Hamburg – „Remmidemmi“ ist das Motto für das Deichkind-Konzert am Freitagabend auf der Trabrennbahn in Hamburg – aber ganz im positiven Sinne: Wenn Deichkind zum Konzert bittet, ist gute Laune programmiert.
Auf ihrer „Kids in meinem Alter Tour 2024“ spielt die Hip-Hop- und Electropunk-Formation mit Sänger Philipp Grütering und MC Sebastian Dürre in ihrer Heimatstadt Hamburg . Bis Ende des Jahres folgen dann noch 18 weitere Konzerte : 16 in Deutschland, zwei im Ausland.
Deichkind in Hamburg – Es gibt noch Tickets
Karten für das Konzert sind online und an bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen noch verfügbar. Preis pro Karte: 64,95 Euro. Der Einlass auf der Trabrennbahn ist ab 18.30 Uhr.
Deichkind soll ab 20.30 Uhr auf der Bühne stehen, das Konzert dann rund zwei Stunden dauern.
Die Band ist bekannt für ihre spektakulären Shows
Was ist über die Tour von Deichkind bekannt?
Die Künstler sind bekannt für ihre spektakuläre Show, in die sie auch das Publikum immer wieder einbinden. Ein Deichkind-Konzert ist ein Erlebnis, die Band feiert ihre Fans – und auch sich selbst gerne.
Anreise zum Konzert in Hamburg
Bei der Anreise zum Deichkind-Konzert empfiehlt es sich, auf das Auto zu verzichten. Das Verkehrsaufkommen in Hamburg ist ohnehin schon hoch. Kurz vor Konzert-Start kommt auch noch der Feierabendverkehr hinzu.
Wer mit dem öffentlichen Nahverkehr des HVV anreist, steigt am Hauptbahnhof in die S2 oder in die S5 und fährt bis zu der Haltestelle Holstenstraße. Von dort aus geht es weiter mit der Buslinie 3. Nach etwa 30 Minuten erreichen Sie die Bushaltestelle „Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld“ und somit das Ziel. Die Bushaltestelle wird außerdem von den Linien 1, 2 und 284 angefahren.
Mit dem Auto nehmen Sie von der Autobahn A 7 die Abfahrt 28 (Bahrenfeld) . Von dort aus sind es nur noch fünf Minuten bis zum Ziel.
Autofahrern stehen gebührenpflichtige Parkplätze an der Barclays Arena und am Volksparkstadion in Stellingen zur Verfügung. Von dort aus sind es noch etwa 20 Minuten zu Fuß bis zur Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld.
Welche Hits spielt Deichkind?
Es wird eine Mischung aus Deichkind-Klassikern und neuen Songs geben.
Fans können sich wahrscheinlich über bekannte Hits der Band freuen, wie zum Beispiel: „Leider geil“, „Remmidemmi“ oder „Bon Voyage“.
Viel Spaß beim Konzert!

Vorverkauf im september roland kaiser kündigt neue tournee an – drei konzerte im norden.
![Roland Kaiser: Der Schlagersänger hat noch nicht genug von der Bühne. Roland Kaiser: Der Schlagersänger hat noch nicht genug von der Bühne.](https://images.t-online.de/2024/08/FeWBikeBQiGj/513x522:1272x715/fit-in/1366x0/roland-kaiser-der-schlagersaenger-hat-noch-nicht-genug-von-der-buehne.webp)
Schlagerlegende Roland Kaiser geht 2025 wieder auf Tour und macht auch in Norddeutschland Halt. Was Sie zum Vorverkauf wissen müssen.
Roland Kaiser hat noch nicht genug: Im kommenden Jahr wird der Schlagerstar auf große Arena-Tournee durch Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz gehen. Im Norden sind drei Konzerte in Bremen , Hannover und Hamburg geplant, wie der Konzertveranstalter Semmel Concerts am Mittwoch bekannt gab.
Die Termine für den Norden stehen bereits fest: Am 25. April 2025 wird Kaiser in der ÖVB-Arena in Bremen auftreten, gefolgt von einem Konzert in der ZAG Arena Hannover am 26. April. Am 10. Mai 2025 macht die Tour dann Halt in der Barclays Arena in Hamburg.
Fans können sich exklusiven Vorab-Zugang sichern
Der Vorverkauf für alle Konzerte startet am 4. September 2024 um 14 Uhr über die Plattform Eventim. Fans, die sich auf der offiziellen Website des Künstlers registrieren, erhalten einen früheren Zugang zu den begehrten Tickets. Ab dem 6. September sind die Karten dann auch an allen bekannten Vorverkaufsstellen erhältlich.
Die Tournee folgt auf Kaisers erfolgreiches Jubiläumsjahr 2023, in dem er sein 50-jähriges Bühnenjubiläum feierte. Mit über 400.000 Besuchern bei mehr als 20 ausverkauften Konzerten, darunter Auftritte in Stadien und der "Kaisermania" in Dresden , stellte der Künstler einen neuen Rekord auf.
Roland Kaiser will neues Album veröffentlichen
Für die kommende Arena-Tournee verspricht Kaiser seinen Fans ein spektakuläres Bühnen- und Lichtdesign, neue Songs sowie bewährte Klassiker. "Wer glaubt, ich würde mich auf meinen Lorbeeren ausruhen, der irrt", so Kaiser in einer Pressemitteilung. Neben der Tour plant der Künstler für 2025 auch die Veröffentlichung eines neuen Albums. Als Vorbote wurde bereits die Single "Mein Geheimnis" veröffentlicht.
Aufgrund der hohen Nachfrage nach Tickets für Roland Kaisers Konzerte empfiehlt der Veranstalter, sich den Vorverkaufsstart vorzumerken. Neben den Terminen in Norddeutschland sind auch Konzerte in mehreren deutschen Städten sowie in Wien und Zürich geplant.

Will Ferry hopes box office Dundee United live TV clashes will pave way for Ireland call
Ferry is desperate to make his full international debut.
![hamburg a tour Will Ferry applauds Dundee United supporters](https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2024/08/14658708ck_59891013-2p9jeu07-scaled-e1724688223874-620x372.jpg)
Will Ferry hopes his blistering Dundee United form will catch the eye of new Ireland boss Heimir Hallgrimsson.
The Icelandic head coach, who famously led his homeland to a 2-1 victory over England at Euro 2016, will name his first squad on Thursday ahead of showdowns with the Three Lions (September 7) and Greece (September 10).
Ferry has represented the Emerald Isle at U/21 level but is yet to make his senior bow, acknowledging that he “hasn’t really been anywhere near it” after joining Cheltenham Town in 2022.
![hamburg a tour New Ireland boss, Heimir Hallgrimsson, during his time in charge of Iceland](https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2024/08/shutterstock_editorial_9726889h-1tm2q4g84-846x564.jpg)
As such, he hopes his switch to Tannadice – and increased visibility of televised matches against the likes of Dundee , Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen – could bring him into Ireland contention.
With Ireland assistant manager John O’Shea hailing from the same coastal town of Tramore as United boss Jim Goodwin – and the pair former teammates from U/16 level – rave reviews could be making their way back to Dublin.
Whether this international date comes too soon for Ferry remains to be seen, but he has done his chances no harm with a superb start to life in Tayside as a marauding left wingback.
![hamburg a tour Will Ferry in full flow against St Johnstone at the weekend](https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2024/08/21145134_59891288-26vuf9rij-918x564.jpg)
Ferry said: “You’re getting loads of exposure because you’re on TV regularly up here. I think I’d played on telly once in my whole career until I came to Scotland !
“There are boys coming up here, moving on to Serie A and things – getting big moves and impressing.
“I think Scottish football isn’t respected quite as much as it should be down in England.
“And on a personal note, if I was to play well and impress, I’d feel like I’d have more chance of getting international recognition here than I would in League One. I’ve played 19/s and U/21s for Ireland, but not seniors.
“I qualify through my dad’s side to my granddad. So, hopefully I do well, and it opens the door for me.
![hamburg a tour Dundee United star Will Ferry in possession](https://wpcluster.dctdigital.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2024/08/14658708ab_59889659-dsxqy6a5-847x564.jpg)
“That was a big selling point in terms of what the gaffer ( Goodwin ) pitched to me. He said it’s a good chance to get in and around the squad, get eyes on you and get a bit of recognition for it.”
