Suggestions for Hamburg

[Lefty Bob]

Anyone have suggestions for Hamburg? We will have a full day off the ship (back about midnight.) Would it be best to take a ship's tour, self guide or get a tour guide?

You can easily tour Hamburg on your own. It has a very good public transportation system which will allow you to get everywhere you want to go (besides taxis and walking of course).

 

I like to recommend a combination of a museum ship, the historic town hall and a stroll around the Binnenalster.

 

If you like some kind of tour you could do a bus tour (eg. http://www.hamburg-city-tour.de/indexe.htm for € 13) or a harbour tour (eg. same site, € 10).

Other boat tours are offered at various places around the city and cover either the smaller older canals or the huge port with its impressive facilities.

 

You might also check Hamburg's official tourism pages http://www.hamburg-tourism.de/en/sightseeing/ .

We booked a private tour with a taxi.

 

It was 45.00 EUR/hour and very nice.
