Sightseeing:

Three rivers - the Elbe, Alster and Bille - along with a scenic grid of narrow canals called Fleete traverse Hamburg. As if that isn't enough water, the city center boasts its very own lakes - the Inner and Outer Alster Lakes. The city center is home to most of Hamburg's main attractions. This half-moon area, which arches north of the Elbe, is bordered by a curve of roads whose names all end in wall (ramparts) and which mark the limits of the old city

Cutting through the middle is the Alsterfleet, a canal that separates the Altstadt (Old City) from the Neustadt (New City). Feeling lost? Look out for the bronze, helmet-shaped Michaeliskirche , an easily seen landmark, south of the city center.

Hamburg is best visited in spring or summer. A typical Hamburg visit includes a tour of the city hall and the grand church St. Michaelis (called the Michel), and visiting the old warehouse district (Speicherstadt) and the harbor promenade (Landungsbrücken). Sightseeing buses connect these points of interest.

Tourist offices are at the train station and at the harbor at St. Pauli Landungsbrücken between jetty 4 and 5.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

From Landungsbrücken you can make boat tours into the harbor. These Hafenrundfahrten are available from various companies and take around an hour. Big ships provide more comfort, but smaller ships also go though the Speicherstadt. Both are well worth the money. Inquire about English language tours (Often at noon time).

Also at the Landungsbrücken you will find the u and s bahn station:

Take the s1,s2,or s3 to Jungfernstieg, the lively center of Hamburg on the Alster.

or take the u3 to Baumwall to Hafencity , currently Europe’s largest inner-city development project – is a blueprint for the development of a European city on the waterfront. For a visit with an eye cast towards the past, have a look around the Speicherstadt. The listed buildings now house leisure activities such as the Minatur Wunderland with fascinating toy railway worlds, and Hamburg Dungeon . Museums can also be found in the Speicherstadt. There is German Customs Museum (Deutsche Zollmuseum), which tells the tale of customs and smuggling in Hamburg, or the International Maritime Museum with thousands of ship models and nautical charts.

Hop on/off buses.

Taxis are dependable, but expensive.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Many cruise lines offer excursions to Berlin, a rather long trip. Check the weather forecast for Berlin before you book. Berlin is stunning on a beautiful day!

Shopping and Food

The main shopping area of Hamburg is the Mönckebergstraße in the center of the city. Take the subway to either central station, Rathaus (town hall) or Mönckebergstraße. Also check the side-street Spitalerstraße. West of town hall towards Gaensemarkt are the more pricey shops like Hugo Boss. Shops are mostly open from 10AM to 8PM and to 10PM on Thursdays and Fridays.

In Germany snacks (Schnellimbiss) are widely available, especially Bock wurst (boiled sausage), Bratwurst (grilled sausage) and Curry wurst (spiced sausage), as well as fries and hamburgers

Many of the fast food is of Turkish origin, this food is very popular for being cheap and healthy.

Film and Cinemas Drive-In Cinemas

It’s been years since Hamburg’s last drive-in cinema closed its gates. Now, due to COVID-19, the idea is gaining traction again.

Drive-In Cinemas - Get your dose of culture even in Corona times

Although drive-ins will have to meet strict guidelines, these cinemas of a bygone era are officially allowed to open in Hamburg. Their contribution to filling the void felt by many in the wake of the pandemic will be significant. After all, a night at the drive-in is a pretty safe way to take in some culture again. If guests stay in their cars during, before and after screenings, the virus has no chance of ruining a perfect night at the movies. 

Luckily, the city of Hamburg has some perfect locations for setting up temporary drive-in cinemas. Not only do places like the Trabrennbahn race tracks or Heiligengeistfeld square offer the necessary space, but they also have a long history of hosting large-scale events. While Trabrennbahn is known for its open air concerts, Heiligengeistfeld is famous for hosting the Hamburg DOM , as well as public screenings of international football matches. 

Safe, cosy and suited to your needs

Drive-in cinemas are truly the perfect event-solution for social distancing. Firstly, you’ll never have to worry about being seated behind the tallest person in the room. But even better, audio tracks are sent directly to car radios - not only reducing noise levels but, theoretically, allowing viewers to choose their preferred language version individually.

It’s now up to movie-goers, to behave responsibly and make sure that we can enjoy great films until the end of the pandemic. Some of the requirements viewers must adhere to are:

• Tickets must be bought remotely and without interpersonal contact
• Attendees must remain seated in their cars, with the exception of bathroom breaks. Minimum distances of 1.5m must be kept at all times 
• Audio tracks may only be transmitted via radio frequencies 

Drive-In Cinemas in Hamburg 

Oberhafen Drive-In Cinema  

This small drive-in cinema offers room for 30 automobiles. Screened movies are announced on-site. Tickets are 10 Euro per car. 

Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld

The large-scale drive-in cinema on the Trabrennbahn Bahrenfeld race tracks will open soon. See the programme for additional information in German. 

Autokino Heiligengeistfeld

The Autokino (lit. ‘car cinema’) on Heiligengeistfeld square is scheduled to start activities in June. The vast area has enough room for up to 500 cars. Further information about the programme will follow in the near future. 

Cruise Inn Hamburg

The Cruise Center Steinwerder will be used as a drive-in cinema and concert location starting in June, 2020. The CRUISE INN – Once in a Livetime series will present a string of concerts and cultural events in a one-of-a-kind location. So far, a number of events have been confirmed.

Outdoor Cine

This package is meant for businesses planning to turn their property into a makeshift outdoor cinema. From assembly and disassembly, to screening and event management, everything is included. This is the perfect idea for your company’s summer party. 

For more Corona-related information, please see the our article on What's Important to Stay Safe .

About Drive-In Cinemas

Drive-in Cinemas have long been associated with the USA, where, starting in 1933, they flourished for much of the 20th century. However, although they were a staple of American culture in the 50s and 60s, they have mostly disappeared since the 90s. In Europe and Germany, this form of entertainment never fully caught on. Although there have been some drive-in cinemas since the 1960s, these have historically been located in direct proximity of American army bases. One exception was the drive-in in Hamburg Billstedt, which hosted movie screenings until 2003.

Cruise to Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg shore excursions, amazing experiences coming soon., sorry, there are no excursions for this port at this moment., things to do in hamburg.

Gain a New Perspective

Frontal view of the town hall in Hamburg, Germany

Hamburg has more museums than almost any other city in Europe, but the best way to gain an education is by visiting the historical sights themselves. Visit the Rathaus City Hall, with a 19th-century facade making for a perfect backdrop for selfies. Then, ascend the steps of the baroque Church of St. Michael to enjoy a panorama from 432 feet in the air.

Venice of the North

A boat traveling through a canal in the famous Speicherstadt warehouse district in Hamburg, Germany

Did you know Hamburg has more canals than Venice? A Hamburg harbor boat trip is one of the most exciting things to do here. Cruise through the historical warehouses along the Speicherstadt canal for a breathtaking experience.

Toast the World

Your Hamburg cruise probably won't stop in the middle of the night, but you can still appreciate the fun of the Sankt Pauli nightlife district. Many of its bars are open during daytime hours. Want to learn about the roots of the local brew? Check out Groninger Privatbrauerei, a baroque building where they brew a much-loved Pils.

Local Cuisine

Food in Hamburg has nothing to do with what you know as hamburgers. Herring is the most common fish here — it's served marinated in vinegar and fried as Brathering , a popular choice for lunch or dinner. Hamburger Hummersuppe , on the other hand, is a creamy lobster-based soup, while Hamburg sweets include sugary Franzbrotchen pastry and Hamburger Speck candies.

In addition to being cosmpolitan and chic, Moenckebergstrasse is Hamburg's most iconic shopping street. Stop in at the aptly named Art of Hamburg near the harbour to find forward-thinking fashions and handcrafted bags and other accessories during your Germany cruise. Take a trip back in time at Walter Eisenberg der Mutzenmacher, a classic hat shop, or take home an ornate beer stein.

Another attraction to keep in mind in Hamburg is Miniatur Wunderland, with its tiny cities and interesting workshops.

MS Hamburg refurbishments review

During drydock refurbishment 2020 (at Lisnave Shipyard, Setubal Portugal), all staterooms and public areas received new carpeting. Redesigned and renovated were Palm Garden Lounge ( deck 6 forward), Lobby Reception ( deck 3 ) and Wine Bar ( deck 5 ), which was additionally expanded by using the Boutique Shop's space. On Lido Deck (deck 6), the sundeck area received new flooring and a new pool bar was installed.

The ship's previous drydock (in 2018) was also at Lisnave Shipyard. During the USD 20 million project Plantours conducted regular technical maintenance works as well as extensive technical modifications and modernization. During the drydocking (April 2 - May 1) were added French Balconies/infinity windows to 42x passenger staterooms. The electric-powered windows are slide-down opening and when lowered open to a glass railing.

During the next scheduled drydocking, the vessel will receive Plantours Kreuzfahrten's new livery and logo (announced in March 2024) introduced to celebrate the company's 35th anniversary.
