Calling yourself Germany’s “Gateway to the World” might seem like big talk, but Hamburg has the goods to back it up. It has an important port, a thriving theatre scene and one of Germany’s most impressive art museums, but this city’s no stuffy old-timer, either—it knows how to party. Your fancy formal wear and your bum bag will get equal use, so pack ’em both up and get going on Hamburg flights.

Getting Around Hamburg

Flights to Hamburg Airport (HAM) land just 10km north of the city centre, and the Metro can quickly get you downtown. Hamburg is connected with the ?Deutsche Bahn national railway, too; Wotif’s Berlin holiday packages are just 2 hours away by train. If you’re seeing a pattern, you’re a smart one. Germany’s public transit is excellent, and Hamburg’s Metro services can get you pretty much anywhere.

When You Land…

It’s never too early to explore Hamburg’s iconic buildings. The impressionist (and impressive) Chilehaus and Hamburg Rathaus are both on the U1 Metro line, so check those out if you land in the morning. Afternoon is a great time to hit the museums, from the works of Goya at Kunsthalle to contemporary art at Deichtorhallen.

And if you’re landing at night, well, you know what to do. Book it to the Reeperbahn; Hamburg’s main nightlife street is also its red light district, but it somehow pulls it off.

Live Like a Local

It’s easy to get into a local state of mind if you love shopping and eating (and who doesn’t?). Get some retail therapy along Jungfernstieg, then grab a coffee and franzsbrötchen (butter-licious cinnamon pastries) and do some people-watching on the Binnenalster. Feel free to lose track of time—your Hamburg accommodation isn’t going anywhere.

You are going somewhere, though—to Hamburg, for more culture, food and nightlife than you’ll know what to do with. One thing’s for sure: With Wotif’s cheap tickets to Hamburg, you’ll have plenty of cash for wherever your holiday takes you.
