The 49 best views in Hamburg

I recently visited this striking building in Hamburg, and it truly exceeded my expectations. Architecturally, it is a masterpiece—modern, innovative, and with a sense of elegance that immediately stands out. The design is both cutting-edge and inviting, and the panoramic views it offers over the city and the harbor are absolutely breathtaking. It’s one of those landmarks that feels both futuristic and seamlessly integrated into its surroundings, making it a must-see for anyone visiting Hamburg. One of the aspects I really appreciated is the accessibility. Entrance is free, although you need to queue in order to receive a timed ticket to pass through the turnstiles. The process is well organized, and while there can be a wait, it is usually manageable. For those who prefer not to stand in line, there is the option to purchase a “skip-the-line” ticket for just a few euros, which I found to be very convenient and worth considering during peak hours. Inside, the atmosphere continues to impress. The space is bright, airy, and beautifully maintained, offering plenty of opportunities to take in the surroundings at your own pace. The store located within the building is also worth a visit: it is stylish, well-curated, and features a nice selection of souvenirs and design objects that reflect the spirit of Hamburg. Overall, this building is much more than just a viewpoint—it’s a cultural and architectural highlight that combines innovation, beauty, and accessibility. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience one of the most remarkable perspectives of Hamburg.

It’s free to go up to the terrace and enjoy a panoramic view of Hamburg from above. There’s an automatic escalator that takes you up. At the top, you’ll find a café and a restaurant, and you can also bring your own food to enjoy there.

Beautiful building. We were lucky enough to visit it free of cost. The entrance was allowrd and security was present even at 10pm because of a performance there. I heard that by 2026 entrance won't be free. The building offers free panoramic view over the city. I recommend taking ferry 72 from Lanndungsbrucke which drops one directly to the building. The view of this building over water is amazing.

View from the rooftop is nice, free entry (need to get a free ticket at door). I have been there twice, the first time is a gloomy workday in November, and there is no wait. The second time it gets quite crowded on a sunny weekend afternoon. There is a long queue for getting the free ticket, but there is also the option of paying 3 euro to skip the queue.

Nice experience, nice view! Be mindful of the wind gusts when strolling on the terrace. It can get pretty windy. The view and building architecture is stunning.

A stunning blend of architecture and acoustics! The curved glass façade and harbor view are breathtaking. The plaza’s sound, space, and light feel perfectly balanced — a must-see icon of modern Hamburg.

Lovely building to spend some time wandering and taking in the views even if you're not watching an event. Small bar and food offerings too. Top tip: don't pre-book online at a cost! It's free to enter by collecting a ticket at the kiosk right beside the entrance. Funky little travelator takes you up and down to the viewing platform.

Wonderful experience, details are incredible, as well as the perfect scaling and diversity of scenes presented. 100% positive memory. Being an adult doesn’t mean itself not for you! Maybe ever better than being a kid. The day/night alternation gives it a magical touch. WOW

Wooooow! Amazing place with a unique experience that lets you walk through different parts of the globe. I loved how much attention to detail was put into everything, and the design often includes funny little scenarios—like taking a bath with a penguin or the sheep pyramid! It’s incredibly creative, yet the landscapes still feel realistic. The night and day versions of the cities are a very cool twist. Also, all the robotics and technology behind the functioning train system—without any crashes—is mind-blowing. I especially enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at the newest addition. One thing to note: it’s a huge place to explore, so plan your visit accordingly to give yourself enough time to enjoy it without rushing from room to room. It can also get quite busy, so be patient and dedicate a full day if possible. There’s a café and food area if you want to take a break during your visit. Definitely recommend it! I’d love to come back and get even more lost in the details.

Amazing place for a visit especially with children although you don’t need kids to enjoy this amazing place.. the workmanship is just phenomenal. Pictures don’t do it justice. €20 for adult €17 concessions and €12.50 for kids worth every penny. Cloakroom and lockers for your stuff.50 cents and a canteen and gift shop Footnote please make sure you book online as we were in a line and had only late entry to get in so we had to get a early entry next day but that was nearly sold out also ..

Fantastic venue. Everything feels grounded and made by people who know what visitors will want to have or need. The exhibition itself is spectacular. Lots of details and stories are told ... Sometimes very hidden. Food is fine. Okay price. Reminded me of IKEA. There could be more washrooms. Also, the regular ticket isn't valid for reentry. That's a bit of a bummer since opening hours are until 1am.

Amazing attraction. We purchased tickets well in advance and got lucky, wasn't too busy. The scenery displays are magnificent, and now perhaps has got too big? We went as a couple, but seen visitors young and old enjoying the quirky funny characters placed within the miniature towns. Very close to city and other attractions such as the Elbphilharmonie, U Boat Museum, shopping etc.

Must visit if you're in Hamburg! The miniature work done is just amazing. We didn't get tickets online inspite of trying for days on a weekday and so we decided to just walk in. We were told at the entrance to wait approx 1 hour which we agreed to. The waiting area is good with free unlimited juice/water but subsidized price tea/coffee and many activities for kids and we barely waited for 10 mins and we got an entry to the Miniature land which was surprisingly quick. There is an Garderobe service for a price at enterance which we utilised but later on realised there are free cabinets to keep your stuff once you go inside. There are restaurants at different levels with really good food also lots of vegetarian options and very minimal priced which was the best thing.One can easily spend 2-3 hrs going around.Overall highly recommend

Visited there in September 2023. Fantastic must visit place for all ages if you are at Hamburg, full day will be vanished unknowingly. Gift shop and bistro is there inside the miniature. Entry fees applicable €20 per adult and children upto 1 metre length is free. Ticket can be booked online and less crowded hours booking will be best choice, however we visit there in a weekdays to avoid crowds but we found full of crowd. A spectacular miniature from various famous locations and cities around the world spanning over 3 floors. The details and quality of the models is outstanding and so realistic. Using Souvenir Medaille press your own penny (Only 1 & 5 cent) into a souvenir design for long lasting your memory.

My go to running route during my 1 week stay in Hamburg. I personally find this is the best place to run in Hamburg as it is uninterrupted and the whole lake clockwise/anticlockwise is about 4km. For runners, most part of the runs are on trails but they are use granites etc. Entire stretch of the lake are well maintained and three are many ducks and swans around. Would suggest going early morning as the whole place will be crowded late afternoon onwards.

The Alster Lakes area is absolutely dreamy. It's a great spot to watch the sail boats, the ducks, the people out for a stroll or a run. I sat on one of the benches for a bit and then walked into the city from there. What a treat for people living or visiting that area of the city. I enjoyed it so much that I booked a boat tour of both the Inner and Outer Lakes today.

Outer Alster Lake is the larger one of two artificial lakes, which are formed by the Alster River and are both located within the city limits of Hamburg. Its shores are used by the inhabitants of Hamburg for many sport and recreational purposes, such as sailing and rowing.

Very nice place to sitting in front of lake. Light breeze come there, beautiful swams are there. Nice picturesque view.

Well -maintained and iconic lake in the centre of the city. Cruises will take you around for magnificent views. The promenade has an open art gallery

Going down to the lakes you pass the most picturesque designer shops, cobblestone pebbled streets, a lovely music school, and lush green all over the surroundings

Alster Lake one of the sight seeing in hamburg , its give life to the place , its in the center of hamburg , it give you felling of relaxation , peace , i walk around the lake , see swans and light of the city , boats , the boat trip takes aorund 1 hour , its gorgeous ... Recomended

A nice symphony of light and music in a beautiful garden/park. Be there at least one hour before the evening show, as it quickly gets crowded in the summer and vacation times. Bring some food and drinks and enjoy a 30 minute show for free.

What a peaceful park in the middle of the city center! It’s easy to reach by public transport. You can walk, run, or sit on the benches while watching the sunset. The atmosphere is calm, with many ponds and lovely birds. People walk their dogs, and it feels very relaxing. I ate my salad here and rested for a while. The botanical garden was temporarily closed, but the park is still beautiful and definitely worth a visit.

Big and great park! Some flaws though; Many of the parts of the park were very worn and there was no water in many of the places designed for water. In all, though, a very nice place! Fantastic "rooms" of plants to discover. I highly recomend a visit when in Hamburg!

Very lovely park for a walk during a beautiful, warm summer's day. Highly recommend it if you need a little breather from the city and need to see some pretty nature and maybe have an ice cream or so from one of the the nearby stalls.

Beautiful park with Beautiful landscape. You can find different terrains and multiple varieties of plants and flowers. The water ponds and sitting areas are great. Perfect for small picnic and children friendly. We saw light show which starts at 10pm and runs for 30 mins with different melodies.

What a beautiful park right in the city, very well cared for and tidy. Beautiful rose garden, Japanese and generally lovely planting and displays. Toilets are excellent and clean and they take contactless .

Nice picnic style of visit. Take your mat along so you can sit on the grass and get a good view of the 30 mins show. Do sit as close to the water to hear the announcement and the music while the lights and water jets do their dance.

A little climb, for a fantastic view over the buzzing Harbor area

Perfect port views. İf you are nearby you should definitely visit.

Super please

Really nice view! It’s a bit out of the city which is nice because there are not a lot of people. Also, nearby a lot of good cafes and restaurants.

Nice.

Relaxing spot, there is a cafe near by

Love it

St. Michael’s Church is a very beautiful and famous place in Hamburg. The building is big and impressive from outside, and inside it looks peaceful and bright. You can also go up to the tower and see a great view of the whole city. It is a nice place to visit for history, architecture, and quiet time.

Very good National Landmark to visit in Berlin because of different reasons. The arquitecture and history are some of the most important facts to learn at this location, but also specially the view! Take the elevator or walk up the tower, it's "only" 500 steps! Once at the top enjoy the incredible views from Hamburg! Very recommendable spot to discover in Hamburg!

I would highly recommend visiting St Michael's church as the view from the top of the tower is probably the best in the city! To go up there is a small side building to buy your tickets and any souvenirs you may want, we only got the tower tickets at around €8 each. To get there you have to climb a few sets of stairs before reaching the main elevator to the top. Once on top of the tower you'll have full 360 panoramic views of the city, just beware the bell does still ring up the top and it made my friends and I jump!

St. Michael’s Church is a must-visit in Hamburg! We went up the tower – it’s the highest viewpoint in the city, and the view is absolutely stunning. The entry fee is only 8 euros, which is honestly a bargain for such a breathtaking panorama. There were quite a few people, but the elevator made the climb easy and fast. Totally worth it!

Beautiful architecture. Absolutely worth the fee to climb the tower, the view is amazing. 555 steps up, with a few exhibits along the way.

We had a blast at St. Michael's Church today! The view from the tower of Hamburg was incredible. There is an elevator but be sure to either walk up or take the stairs down so you can see the tower clock mechanics! The crypt wasn't great, but seeing CPE Bach's burial spot was awesome, especially for a music lover. 😉 The church itself is gorgeous, and we even got to hear an organ concert with all three main instruments. The acoustics were amazing – like a 5-second reverb! Go on a Saturday morning by 11:30 for the noon concert/service.

Impressive in scale and beauty. Amazing inside and out, with a very large pipe organ. It must be an amazing experience when that is being played. We were lucky to catch a concert rehearsal, which filled the chamber with beautiful music.

Impressive, special, up the bell tower (there is an elevator) a perfect view of the old city and the harbor...but mostly a moving place that reminds us all how terrible war is. It is important to visit the museum located at the base of the bell tower.

Fascinating place to visit; tragic to see the destruction caused by fire and then war, but still amazing to see the detail of the construction of the spire. Take the lift to see it close up and get amazing views of the city of Hamburg.

A good view at the top of the tower, however is obstructed a bit by all the bars (in place for safety). We bought tickets but doesn’t seem managed properly so anyone could probably just walk in. Similarly, there is no controls in place to manage the amount of people going up and down so can get quite crowded. Be warned it is very windy but does let you see all of Hamburg. Costs very little and you get access to the museum below.

A cheap and cool way to see the entirety of Hamburg, provided you don't mind the bars and obstruction. Ticket was cheap and it includes access to the underground museum that talks about the church's history, a sad one really. Definitely recommend visiting it! Also looks very cool from outside

I really enjoyed visiting St. Nicolai in Hamburg. The views from the tower are stunning and offer a great panorama of the city. The building itself, though in ruins, is very impressive and has a fascinating history. Highly recommended if you’re interested in architecture or history.

There’s an elevator that brings you up to see the view at 5 euros. The memorial is a place with rich history. The church was bombed during World War II and you can stand within its remains. Some of the walls can still be seen. A humbling reminder of the painful past and the lives disrupted.

A very interesting church with an intriguing and equally sad history. It's such a shame that the church didn't survive the bombing. However, the tower is amazing. You can get up with an elevator (€6 for adults, €5 for students, big groups and reduced fares, and €4.5 for kids). The price is a little steep for a single elevator ride...but, the view is amazing. Truly breathtaking, great views of the Port and Rathaus!

Useful station at the river edge with lots to do around it. This area of town is well worth a trip of visiting the area or want to explore the river edge

excels in its ability to paint a comprehensive picture. It's not just about the bustling ferries or the architectural grandeur; it's about the people who frequent the docks, the historical weight of the place, and the ever-changing light on the Elbe River. The slower pace allows for a deeper appreciation of the details—the salty air, the distant cry of a seagull, the intricate ironwork of the bridges.

Landungsbruecken is the jumping off point at the Hamburg harbor for tourists and tourist related commerce. It's all about boat trips, snack stands and gift shops. It is super crowded in the summer and pleasant in the off-season. Learn where to go by asking locals. Ferries drop you off at one point but pickup is often far away. Know your connection numbers and names, so you can ask quickly as the crowds push you along. Restrooms are tough to find and pay only. Go to a brick and mortar place for a sit down meal and amenities like toilets.

Convinient to conect all public transportation

The area has a beautiful view of the sides of the Elbe Canal and the old and beautiful ships as well as the beautiful hiking trail along the canal can create a happyand nice time for visitors

A good place to meet up and wonder through the regular events taking place along the river (see Hamburg tourism site for details). It can be very busy on event days so be prepared for crowds!

Nice place

Wow, I've seen a few maritime museums, but nothing comes close to this one. An absolute treasure trove of maritime history from when man first started crossing water. Seriously, this has to be the best in the world, or really close to it. If there's a better one, I'd be surprised. Don't miss it when in Hamburg!

An amazingly full museum where you can spend more than 4 hours!!! It's got 9 floors with different themes, from Ancient to Renaissance ships, going up to WW2, and also some yachts and cruise ships in there. Also you get to see lots of ship-related replicas and models. Incredibly fun and interesting, worth visiting!

Thoroughly enjoyed the museum. Very comprehensive collection and well displayed. 10 floors of artifacts! Scale models, beautiful art works, engine plant displays, weapons, anything to do with maritime history and also it's connection to Hamburg. Highly recommended!

What an amazing museum! This was not my first visit, but I discovered something new yet again! Pitty that the part on slave boats & trade is no longer included. The floor with models is simply mind-blowing with the amount of details as well as the quantity. Fantastic job!

There are 10 floors! I shouldn’t have allocated only 3hrs for this museum, it could take up the whole day to go through it completely. Something not so good at the end. At 17:40, on the broadcast of closing time announcement, the white hair male staff saw me and used his finger pointing directly on me, and did a “get out” gesture, without saying a word. I thought it was really rude. Hope his act was not something discriminating.

The Internationales Maritimes Museum Hamburg is a fascinating dive into maritime history. Housed in a historic warehouse, it offers extensive exhibits on ships, navigation, and maritime art spanning centuries. The ship models and interactive displays are particularly impressive, appealing to both enthusiasts and casual visitors. While some sections can feel dense, the museum’s organization and rich storytelling make it an engaging experience for all ages.

I really liked the museum. It was unexpectedly large, with more than five floors and lots of interesting things to see. We spent three or four hours there and even got tired

Beautiful ambiance, placed inside of St. Pauli Piers. There is a terrace on the roof where you can greet cruisers. We had potato/leek soup and porck knuckle, nice and tasty. Beer was super fresh and good. The waiters are very patient and welcoming. It was interesting to hava a sneak peek of food in kitchen :)

Beautiful location with a great view The location is simply stunning – right by the water, with a wonderful view of the harbor and the passing ships. Especially on a nice day, the view is a real highlight. The service was very friendly and attentive. The food was freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and tasted excellent. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience – highly recommended! 😉👍

Stopped by Blockbräu for lunch after crossing under the Elbe. Sat at the biertische and ordered a schnitzel. It was crisp, golden and exactly what it should be. The Munich-style Weißbier was lovely, and service was on point despite the lunchtime rush. Big windows, open space, and a steady stream of seagulls circling the ferry terminals outside. A solid spot if you enjoy your beer with a view (and a hint of diesel in the breeze). Would 100% return. Possibly just for the schnitzel. Edit: I sat in the establishment, having a few beers, and eventually decided to also have the 700g Schweinshaxe, and it did not dissapoint. This is a meal for Kings and probably what I should have gone with in the first place. But I was just dying for a Schnitzel so I ordered that without looking at the menu. If I return here before I leave Hamburg I’m gonna try the Kalbsbratwurst at €20

Excellent food and beer. Service was fast and efficient. If you're on holiday I highly recommend coming for lunch. There is also a good view of the river and the returant is close to tourist attractions.

Came here as part of a stag do and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more patient. Drinks came out fast, and the food was excellent — from the pretzel to the haxe, everything was soft, well seasoned, and delicious. The atmosphere was lively with plenty of groups celebrating, from bachelorettes to tourists, but everyone was well-behaved so it never spoiled the experience. A great spot for good food, drinks, and a fun time.

Convenient brewery/restaurant by the harbor. Food was alright but not amazing. Got the fried fish and salmon. A bit overpriced, but it’s in a touristy area.

This place is lively and busy at lunch time. It seems well known and visited by Germans who come to the harbour. Big groups and individuals turn up to this place where they are greeted with a smile and then take a seat of their choice. This brewery - restaurant is huge. They have seating on the ground floor, upstairs and on the terrace. The view from here is great. Tables and seats are comfortable and clean. Staff is friendly. They have menu card as well as the dish of the day. We realised only later about the day’s special. Nevertheless, our food was tasty and the portion was adequate. Beer was homemade and tasty. Toilets were clean. Staff was very attentive and fast. Food came fast too. I would recommend this place for those who want to eat traditional German food and drink traditional beer. And also for those who want to mingle with Germans and feel the atmosphere.

That was a great spontaneous experience that I got Friday night. Was lucky to get there with no reservation. Friendly staff at the bar and amazing view upstairs. Put the credit for future visit, cos you guys canceled the party I’ve expected while I was in Hamburg. See you later.

The location has amazing views from Hamburg, there is also a terrace bar on the upper floor to enjoy them. Regarding food, my expectations were too high I guess. The king Prawns were ok, we also order the truffle pasta which is far away from the quality that I was expecting for such a price and popular restaurant.

A not so pleased experience. While the ambiance was pleasant (which I guess you only paid here for the magnificent view of Hamburg), the exorbitant prices didn't quite match the quality and portion of the food. The Burrata I had was so small for the price they asked. The bread and butter which they also charge you extra is also very few. The desert is the same. The steak (Entrecôte) was really delicious but for the price, really it is too much. To make matters worse, the service was incredibly slow, leaving us waiting for ages between courses.

Good place, the waiter was really kind. We were celebrating birthday so we were treated with respect. The fish option was really delicious. I don’t need to comment the view… it is fantastic.

Great views from the 23rd floor of the Dancing Tower. Meat-oriented menu, decent wine list. The wait for the food was too long though. We enjoyed the sides very much, and the meat (most of us took the Mastercut Ribeye) was good, though I found my rare-medium rare a bit too cooked.

Amazing view, honestly the best place to go for a relaxing evening in Hamburg. The menu is quite pricey but the service, atmosphere and overall quality definitely make the cost worth it. Drinks were good and the complementary popcorn and peanuts delightful. 100% would go again!

Nick, our waiter was extremely courteous and patient with our orders and clicking our pictures. We got a seat by the window and it was the best view that I could have asked for. We were really satisfied with the service and the atmosphere. Will definitely be back again. The pictures don't do justice. They are way better in person. Rain and fog may not give a clear view so check your weather app before reserving.

Architectural masterpiece. Dont miss in a Hamburg trip. “It is an exceptional example of the 1920s Brick Expressionism style of architecture. This large angular building is located on a site of approximately 6,000 m2 (1.5 acres), spanning the Fischertwiete Street in Hamburg. It was designed by the German architect Fritz Höger and finished in 1924. As part of Kontorhaus District, it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.”

Great building. 4.8 million dark color bricks, wow.

Very cool building

Chilehaus is a striking example of Expressionist architecture in Hamburg, renowned for its distinctive, ship-like shape and ornate brickwork. I admired the unique design and historic charm of this iconic building.

Wonderful place to take pictures and visit. The whole building looks so beautiful with the white windows. There are two buildings. The first one has the name " Chile Haus" on it. If you walk a little further, there is another separate building with the same design, this has a larger and more beautiful courtyard which has some restaurant and cafes

Beautiful famous brick building in the Kontorhaus District. A great example of Brick Expressionism style. It has a very nice inner courtyard. Located near the Speicherstadt. Nearby, there is one more beautiful brick building with inner courtyard - Sprinkenhof. As a part of the Kontorhaus District, it's a parrt of the UNESCO Heritage.

What a piece of architecture! The passage, the building and surroundings are very beautiful and worth seeing many times. After seeing it 848484 times, I still appreciate watching it. 👌🏻👌🏻

Duty area, nothing to be seen except drink people not recommende to go their

Really cool park with a majestic view of the harbour, and basketball court and just cool vibes right in the heart of st Pauli. Everything is cool there but some people who hand around the park might spoil your experience, or not. Anyway the vibe and atmosphere and the place itself deserve 5 ⭐, sadly some people hanging around the area drag it down

A lesser-known but really enjoyable spot in Hamburg. The harbor view is great - especially around sunset, it’s peaceful just to sit and take it all in. The design of the park is a bit unusual, with plastic palm trees and grass terraces that give it a fun, quirky vibe. It’s small, but full of character. If you’re around St. Pauli, definitely worth a quick stop. A nice little escape in the middle of the city.

Nice view of the harbor and it would be an interesting place to sit but it’s mostly occupied by weed smoking people and alone I didn’t feel comfortable there.

It's a very beautiful park looking from above. Ideal for beautiful photo shoots. You really enjoy the view from above

We were here one night to watch the Cruise Ship Parade of 2025. Great spot.

It's a urban place that looks pretty cool.

A perfectly kept tunnel running under the Elbe river. A fun free experience. I recommend taking the stairs down and the lift up. The tiles are beautiful and adorned with various sea animals. The tunnel connects central Hamburg with the docks and shipyards on the south side of the river Elbe. It is used daily by commuters as a shortcut across the river. Be sure to stick to the pavements inside the tunnel as cyclists move quite quickly.

The Old Elbe Tunnel in Hamburg is one of those attractions that truly surprises you — not least because it’s completely free, yet feels like stepping straight into a piece of living history. Opened in 1911, it’s a remarkable feat of engineering and architecture that still functions perfectly today. As you enter the building near Landungsbrücken, you’re immediately struck by its historic charm. The beautiful tiling, solid metal pillars, and the massive elevators — once used to carry horse-drawn carriages and vehicles — all stand as proud reminders of early 20th-century craftsmanship. You can either take one of these impressive elevators down or descend via the staircases, which adds to the experience as you move from daylight into the cool, slightly damp air beneath the river. Walking or cycling through the tunnel itself is fascinating. The long, arched passage, lined with white tiles and lit by old-fashioned lamps, stretches underneath the Elbe, giving you a sense of both nostalgia and wonder. Along the walls, you can spot small, decorative details depicting fish, crabs, and maritime motifs — all beautifully crafted and perfectly preserved. When you emerge on the other side, you’re rewarded with a stunning view back toward Hamburg’s skyline. From there, you can admire the harbor, the massive cranes, and the impressive silhouette of the Elbphilharmonie in the distance — a breathtaking contrast between Hamburg’s industrial past and modern elegance. The Old Elbe Tunnel is far more than a functional passageway; it’s a piece of living cultural heritage, a journey through time, and a reminder of what humans can achieve with vision and craftsmanship. The fact that it’s completely free only makes it more remarkable. A truly unique and memorable experience — an absolute must-see when visiting Hamburg.

Outstanding experience smth to do in Hamburg except drinking. Elevators and staircases are commendable as far as to get another side by walking. Absolutely recommended to visit

Absolutely fantastic place we used it twice and it’s so efficient and well looked after. Really historic too .. it’s even better that if you are on a cruise you can walk into the city via the tunnel. But you might want to check the opening hours as it closes for maintenance sometimes and weekends are shorter opening

Incredible engineering and really well renovated. Totally free. No wait. Gorgeous inside. Easy 10-12 minute walk to other side. Make sure you use the large left for the bicycles and scooters but also check out the main hall via the stairs.

A free and pleasurable walk along a pretty tunnel under the river, featuring murals along the walls, a strip of road for bicycles, and a beautiful view of the river on the other side.

Pretty tunnel. It is about 2km long and no way to get out in between so if one is claustrophobic, they should keep this in mind. You can use cycles inside the tunnel as well

Not Recommended Unless Your German Is Really Strong! The Hamburg Dungeon offers a theatrical and immersive dive into the city’s darker history. The set design and actors are impressive, and the whole show lasts about one hour, which feels just right. However, there are a few things to be aware of: 👥 The staff at the entrance weren’t very friendly, which was a disappointing start. 💸 The ticket price felt a bit too high for what you get. 🎁 You can visit for free on your birthday, but only if you book your ticket online in advance — don’t forget that! 📸 There’s a souvenir photo option: €2 for a basic download via QR code, and €7 for extra photos with fun effects. ⚠️ Important: All performances are in German, and the actors speak very fast. If you’re not fluent, you’ll miss most of the jokes and context — so I wouldn’t really recommend it for non-German speakers. Overall, it’s a cool one-time visit if your German is solid and you know what to expect — but not something I’d do again.

Such a fun & scary experience😁 Not recommended for the faint hearted! A must do in Hamburg No pics allowed during the tour, but you can buy digital or hard copies for €20-30 💡Free entry on your birthday (book a time slot online)

It was a lot of fun! I suggest you all to book it one day in advance, the time for the tour in English is usually at 10:00 a.m.

Fantastic experience. Not a torture museum like the name implies but a fun haunted house for experience. The actors were committed to characters and the scenes were well designed. Ended up here because Miniature Wonderland was completely booked and don't regret it at all. A great Hamburg experience!

Overall, it was nice, but I felt there could have been more character interaction. It wasn’t really scary, especially compared to a similar experience I had in Amsterdam, which felt brighter and scarier. Still, it’s a decent option to spend some time.

Tickets can only be bought online. I went with my Mum on a Tuesday, the whole thing lasted about 90 minutes. It was great, I'm a scaredy cat, so I got my moneys worth of scary interactions. The Actors did a phenomenal job

Really fun and just about right level of scary. Brought a 14 year old daughter and we really recommend others with teenagers to go. Fun, educational and scary.

My previous visit to Sky & Sand Beach was amazing! The drinks they serve are of excellent quality, and the atmosphere is truly awesome. However, I must mention that finding the place can be a bit challenging due to its secluded location. But once you discover Sky & Sand Beach, the hidden gem is definitely worth the effort.

Such a disappointment. We pre-booked in advance and specifically asked for a bed by the pool. The weather was set to be 37° so we decided to spend the day there. We noted the minimum spend of €150 for a sunbed. We paid €20 for an Uber to drop us at the location which was difficult to find. 13 floors up in a run down car park where the only lift we could find on entering the car park, wasn't working. After climbing 13 sets of stairs in the heat we were met by a chirpy member of staff who welcomed us. We were told to sit where we liked (there were only 4 other people at the venue) so I asked where the pool was. I was informed that there was no pool, they hadn't updated their website yet but it was removed a couple of years ago and in any case 'it was a fake pool anyway' - I was furious. We were only in Hamburg for 2 days and we'd planned to spend the day here. We had absolutely nowhere else to go. It was incredibly hot and we just wanted somewhere to cook down. Talk about false advertising! Don't rely on anything you read. Looking for a pool? Try Beach Hamburg. Unfortunately after wasting our morning getting to this place, Beach Hamburg was fully booked (another wasted Uber)

Nice ambiance,we had a great time with friends excellent service from Marvin! He had made the best swimming pool drinks. Until next time.

Nice place but just terrible to find. Google maps send us to the parking lot and we found no signs there pointing to the correct direction… The day that I went to a birthday party there were only us at the club (around 10 people) and there was no music because they were repairing something. We asked if we could play something in a music box and they let us.

Drink taste like water 💦 I had one Gin Tonic for 9:50€! Whit frozen berries l, there was just 4 pieces of berries and literally water... The place is nice but the drink is awful!

Good vibe. Good view. Possibility to order food. Two kicker tables. Nice for hot summer days👌

Me and my hefeweizen 🍺⛱️. Sky and Sand is a very beautiful beach 🏖 club. you get a feeling of your vecation. A very relaxing place I'm the middle of the city.

The cocktails are average, considering the price i had far better whiskey sour (this is a drink that I calibrate my expectations in a bar when I visit for the first time). The whiskey sour was average. The service on the other hand was great. I have been there multiple times and I was always satisfied with them friendly staffs.

A hidden gem of Hamburg, great atmosphere and amazing cocktails. Each cocktail is explained at the table, the classics were really good and menu was full of creative options. Unfortunately it was a rainy day (no so surprising for Hamburg), so we couldn’t enjoy the view, so definitely will go there again for the view and the cocktails.

Wow, we found this accidentally when we searched for rooftop bars. Gorgeous place. Very intimate setting. Incredible view of the entire city and the harbor. And I had my first real old-fashioned since coming to Hamburg. We didn’t eat any food they except a small bowl of chips so I can’t rate the food.

Don’t treat your customers like freeloading children. We arrived and were shown to an indoor table. The staff then told us in order for everyone to be allowed to stay, we’d all have to order something immediately. One of our friends who didn’t want to drink straight away ended up being forced to order some still water, which ended up being 750ml and €7.50 which felt very sneaky. The rest of us started with some soft drinks. We asked about a table that become available outside, but were told that it was already claimed by another party… fair enough. However, the waiter came back over and said in order to sit outside, we’d “have to order more than just the cheapest soft drinks” on the menu. This was incredibly disrespectful and condescending. The waiter was implying that we were trying to “game” the system and buy as little as possible. We had actually planned to spend some time and order more drinks, but after that beautiful show of entitlement from the waiter, we decided we no longer wanted to stay. Service was slow. Don’t know what they were doing half the time. It took ages to have our order taken, drinks delivered and bill paid. Nice view, pretentious place with slow and condescending staff.

Maybe our expectations were too high from reading the many good reviews, but this bar is far from competing with the best in Hamburg. We tried eight different cocktails and weren’t very excited about any of them - and we like to try cocktails. Even the whisky sour was very average. You need to ring a door bell at the ground floor of the building and then wait for a staff member to pick you up. When we visited it took more than five minutes, and that’s a long wait with Hamburg winter weather (rain and wind). The bar has no food except for a pulled pork sandwich. The liquor selection in the bar is very limited, so if you would like a different type gin, let’s say a craft gin, you’re out of luck unless you consider Monkey47 a craft gin. The whisky selection is poor. You can find way better bar options even on a walking distance from Puzzle Bar. The many glorious reviews left us puzzled.

The drinks are delicious and reasonably priced. The service was very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the view and the atmosphere in the bar a lot. We are looking forwards to returning and trying out more cocktails on their menu.

Had the most delicious cocktails ever at the Puzzle Bar in Hamburg. The taste was perfectly balanced and the service and view was just stunning. If you love cocktails your should definitely go there and enjoy a few good drinks while enjoying the view over beautiful Hamburg.

Great view. ..so too much is asked for, especially for standard cocktails _if you want peace and quiet _away from the hustle and bustle

Very very bad service, the place supposedly closes at 1 am but one waiter said he “ will call security” in 5 minutes with no prior warning just out of no where, also we asked for tequila shots and magically the 13 euros per shot was chosen for us without telling us, i don’t recommend it at all. Unprofessional ( our bill was close to 400 Euros for 8 people, only drinks..)

The staff was so rude, they said they close in 5 minutes which we totally understood and showed acceptance to that then immediately they said they will call security if we dont apply although other customers were still there. This is very disrespectful and unprofessional.

(Translated by Google) Super friendly staff. When the employee saw that we wanted to smoke cigars, they immediately swapped the ashtray for a cigar ashtray. Super attentive and service-oriented. Great view and good seating with plenty of space between the neighboring tables. MY RECOMMENDATION!!! (Original) Super freundliches Personal. Als die Mitarbeiterin sah, dass wir Zigarre rauchen möchten, wurde sofort der Aschenbecher gegen einen Zigarren-Aschenbecher ausgetauscht. Super aufmerksam und service-orientiert. Toller Ausblick und gute Bestuhlung mit ausreichend Abstand zum Nachbartisch. MEINE EMPFEHLUNG!!!

(Translated by Google) A true highlight above the city's rooftops! The terrace boasts stunning views and an atmospheric ambiance, especially at sunset combined with live music, making it an unforgettable experience. You can enjoy impressive views over large parts of the city. The cocktail menu offers not only classics but also creative signature creations that truly impress. The prices are on par with a 5-star hotel, but are absolutely reasonable for the overall package. When the weather's good, this is definitely one of my favorite spots! (Original) Ein echtes Highlight über den Dächern der Stadt! Die Terrasse überzeugt mit einer traumhaften Aussicht und einem stimmungsvollen Ambiente, besonders bei Sonnenuntergang in Kombination mit Live-Musik ein unvergessliches Erlebnis. Man genießt einen beeindruckenden Blick über große Teile der Stadt. Die Cocktailkarte bietet nicht nur Klassiker, sondern auch kreative Eigenkreationen, die geschmacklich wirklich überzeugen. Die Preise liegen auf dem Niveau eines 5-Sterne-Hotels sind aber absolut angemessen für das Gesamtpaket. Bei gutem Wetter ist das hier definitiv einer meiner Lieblingsspot!

(Translated by Google) Open only in good weather from around 4 p.m. to around 11 p.m. Great view of the city Really good (expensive) cocktails.

Nice place terrible service

The former Hamburg city hall was destroyed by fire in 1842 and was rebuilt more than 40 years later at its current location. The current new city hall was completed in 1897. The city hall is very beautiful. Guided tours of the city hall are well worth taking, as you can enter areas not open to the general public and hear many interesting stories. Currently, Hamburg's mayor's office, as well as the meeting rooms of the parliament and senate, are located in the city hall. In one of the city hall's rooms, there is a large painting depicting the scene when the Speaker led a group of councillors into the new city hall after its completion. At that time, everyone wore neat formal attire. According to the tour guide, that formal attire was handed down through generations, was very heavy and difficult to clean, and is no longer in use. The most beautiful room in the city hall is where the mayor meets with the administrative departments. In front of the doors of the room are two statues of goddesses representing justice and mercy respectively. On the door frame was written in German: GOTT MIT UNS., which means God is with us. Some abbreviations SPQH were seen outside the room. The tour guide explained that this was a reference to the Roman abbreviation SPQR. In Roman times, SPQR represented the Roman Senate and People. We think SPQH probably stands for Senate and People of Hamburg.

Absolutely do the guided tour. Frau Sabine Bendig led our group in English and it was amazing. Each room is so beautiful and meaningful right from the wallpapers to the busts and paintings. It's classy and rich without being gaudy.

Beautiful parliament building in the heart of city. Be sure to walk through the side, there is a beach fountain in a courtyard. The construction is incredible and the detail statues and adornments are incredible. You can enter the budding behind the fountain and enjoy the restraint located beneath the building.

A timeless masterpiece Rathaus Hamburg stands like a grand storyteller in the heart of the city — every arch, statue, and corridor whispers history. The exterior took my breath away with its intricate details, and the interior felt serene and majestic, like stepping into another era.

The Hamburg Rathaus is one of the most impressive buildings I’ve seen. Its exterior is breathtaking, full of detailed decorations and bronze statues that reflect the city’s rich history. The facade is lined with figures of emperors, kings, and traditional professions like blacksmiths, tailors, and gardeners, which beautifully connect the city’s governance with everyday life. The tall towers and elegant stonework create a sense of grandeur. It’s a perfect spot for photos, especially when the sunlight highlights the carvings and sculptures. Simply standing in front of it gives you a true feeling of Hamburg’s history and pride

I visited the Hamburg Rathaus in 2023 and it is one of the most impressive places in the city if you are into architecture. The building is truly imposing, with a massive façade and fine details that make it stand out even more, catching your eye as soon as you arrive. The central tower is very tall and can be seen from many points in the city center. Right outside the Rathaus on the Rathausmarkt there is a bronze scale model of Hamburg — a great little landmark to check out.

Nice town hall. Some good photo opportunities and the water fountain outside was well worth a look.

Boat Tours can be very expensive. The Ferry Lines are scenic enough to tour the Elbe, the ride is covered by the local transport ticket also by the Deutschland Ticket. Sit on the top deck when weather is nice and enjoy the views especially Elbstrand riding Line 62 which departs every 30 minutes.

Your general public transport ticket will also work for most regular boat rides. Try the open air upper deck for sunny days and if it's raining covered and the enclosed lower deck is best.

A great place to get a view of Hamburgs waterside. On the weekends it can be crowded. Lots of tourists boats and places for drinks and food including a Hard Rock Café. If you don’t have much time to spend in Hamburg, this is the place you go to first. And… don’t forget to eat one of the legendary „Krabbenbrötchen“.

Enjoyed a guided boat tour with beer to see the sights of Hamburg's waterways and harbour. It was very informative and enjoyable. This was a private event and I would wholeheartedly recommend this as a team building exercise for any company.

Lots of little shops with food & souvenirs etc...there are museum ships to visit as well as ferry to board etc...there is an amazing tunnel to cross to the harbour side...under the ocean...

I strongly recommend taking the no. 72 ferry at Pier 2. You can enjoy a fantastic view in the open air and the stunning beauty of Elbphilhamonies.

The view is amazing and very beautiful. The cool breeze from the waters and the sounds of ships and boats makes it a really nice and lively harbor place to have a stroll around, especially when you have extra time during your stay here. There were a lot of stands, games, and attractions for tourists, so you’ll never get bored. And a lot of boat tour companies offering boat rides. If possible, I would recommend buying a boat tour ticket, you get to see a different perspective of not just the harbor, but also of Hamburg as a city itself.

It was a rainy day. The kind that makes a beer feel like a solution. The place was packed. Tourists, locals, noise. The usual suspects. I didn’t have a reservation, just mild optimism and damp sleeves. They found me a seat at the bar anyway. Ordered a Warsteiner. Cold, golden, reliable. Like a German engineer’s handshake. Then hunger crept in, subtle but persuasive. I ordered chicken tenders. They arrived hot enough to sear doubt from your mind. Crispy, juicy, and paired with fries that didn’t ask for permission, just space on the plate. Two sauces came with them. One mysterious and red. The other beige with attitude. Both did their job without needing praise. Alex, the bartender, was managing chaos with the calm of a man who’s seen worse. Probably brunch shift on a Sunday. All in all, a satisfying detour from the weather, the crowd, and existential dread.

Vibe is just perfect .. The interior is full of energy, decorated with authentic music memorabilia that keeps your eyes wandering while you enjoy your food and drinks. The staff are friendly and upbeat, which adds to the lively yet relaxed feel. Whether you’re stopping in for a casual burger and cocktail or making it part of a night out, the place knows how to set the mood.

We sat down here for a bite to eat around 9pm on a Saturday evening. Although it was crowded, there were plenty of empty tables. As you might expect, the menu consists of American classics. We opted for chicken sliders, French fries, and onion rings as appetizers. Frankly, the service was quite slow; it took half an hour for the food to arrive. Fortunately, everything tasted great and was served piping hot. The waiters were attentive and friendly. It's a pleasant place to grab a drink or a bite to eat. The prices are a bit above average but the portions are huge! Its location on the waterfront and the view make it a lovely spot.

Located next to the river Elbe close to the St Pauli area. Plenty of tables for food and drink. Fast and friendly service. Same menu as most other HR cafes, but that's OK with us as we like most things on it. Photos are of a potato tots starter salmon noodles and a New York burger. All were very good and reasonably priced. 5*

Went to many Hard Rock Cafes in Asia and in the US and this was the most disappointing one from all of them. The service is not up to company standards incl. greeting, the food prices and menu are almost the same, but the flavours, presentation, temperature and quality of the dish are very disappointing. You have to ask for everything extra even sauces, incl. the free soft drink refill system isn't promoted at all, which means unless you are familiar with the system, you would pay per drink. Unfortunately, would not go a second time or wouldn't even recommend to a friend.

We had the trio of mini chicken burgers, onion rings, and fries. The portions were huge and everything tasted amazing! The atmosphere was really fun, and the staff were friendly and attentive. If you’re in the mood for a classic American-style meal with a drink, this is definitely a great spot. Plus, it’s right by the harbor, so you can enjoy a sea view from some of the tables — which makes it even better!

I made my reservation thru Get your ride to skip the line which was great as the place was really busy by the time I got there. The food was good. The waitress was really nice.

This restaurant offers incredible steak with the perfect char, attentive service and a wonderful selection of wine. If you are a modern steak lover, don’t miss this place in Hamburg.

My husband and I went for dinner to celebrate our first anniversary. We thought it must be worth spending this kind of money. Everything starting great even though prices are quite high. Dinner was ok however service could be better for the amount you are paying. Once our main course was served our waitress completely disappeared and we had to get up to serve our self’s wine as we wanted wine with our main course and not later. When we finished dinner we asked for the desserts and this is when for our surprise the answer was the kitchen is closed… really? You are paying over 100€ per person for a dinner and you just get the answer that the kitchen is closed and you can’t have dessert? This is really not professional. Leaving your customers half way done with dinner. :( If you don’t want to be disappointed with the service then don’t go to this restaurant. Sorry.. I can’t recommend.

Well, first the good news: The steaks tasted really good and were cooked to perfection. Staff was also friendly and knowledgeable about wine, but they were also too few and so they were overstretched. It took a very long time for us to get our first drinks, and they messed up our steak order. They took them back without arguing, but as we worked our way through the ones we got back, we had a strong suspicion that they were not the bone-in rib-eyes we had ordered (and eventually paid for). They didn’t have a fat eye, and the bone looked like a – 10€ cheaper – New York cut (see photo). They tasted great, though. In fact, it was the best steak I have had in a very long time – the perfect level of dry-aged nuttyness and cooked to perfection, so we didn’t have the energy to complain further. But we probably won’t be coming back.

I’ve traveled the world and experienced some of the most exclusive dining destinations across the globe. This, by far, is the best steak I have ever had. The starter tuna tartare was exceptional, and the drinks were perfectly crafted. If you find yourself in Hamburg and crave an unforgettable steak, this is the place to go, nothing else comes close.

One of the best steak 🥩 in my life! Juicy, rich of flavor, and unforgettable tasty 😋 Good service as well.

We had the beef tartar, the carpaccio and the porterhouse. They were fresh, well executed and tasteful. There are plenty of choices when it comes to drinks and also the wines. The personnel is helpful and well trained. A pleasant experience overall.

One of the best steak I've ever had.. simply delicious ✨️ Highly recommend to come here for dinner!

It is my 1st time to come this museum. Very nice to see many different style if paintings. If you like to see arts works, no hesitate to come here. I recommended all to buy a ticket from the internet. They provide lockers for us to put bags.

€16 at the door and you’re in for a ride through centuries of art. The place jumps from old masters to Romantic drama, realism, impressionism, and straight into the modern era. When I was there, the Galerie der Gegenwart was housing the Anders Zorn exhibition. That felt like a bonus on top of the already stacked collection.

The Kunsthalle Hamburg is an absolute gem for art lovers! I visited for the Surrealism exhibition, and it was outstanding — brilliantly curated with a mix of iconic and unexpected works, presented in a way that’s both thought-provoking and accessible. The interpretation was clear without being overwhelming, and the layout encouraged you to linger and make your own discoveries. The main galleries are equally impressive, offering a journey through centuries of art — from stunning Old Masters to bold contemporary pieces. The spaces are light, airy, and beautifully designed, making the experience feel calm and immersive. One of the highlights for me was how well the different wings connect; you can explore at your own pace without feeling lost or rushed. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic, which made the visit even more enjoyable. If you’re in Hamburg, this is an unmissable destination — whether you’re an art history enthusiast or just curious to see something inspiring, the Kunsthalle delivers on every level. I left feeling enriched, inspired, and already planning my next visit.

Incredible collection of everything! Here are classics, impressive collection of impressionists, and right in front you can find the contemporary art branch. First Thursday of the month entrance is free of charge, no line - enjoy until 9pm! Unfortunately the cafe is closed by that time already, but outside a bit of live show- dj set and imbass.

A great museum with excellent special exhibitions, including the current surrealism exhibition demonstrating affinities between surrealist and German Romantic piets and painters. This show draws on the museum's strength in German painting, so expect to see many great works by Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge alongside those of Max Ernst, de Chirico and others.

Absolutely a wonderful Museum of Art, painting and sculpture like no other in Germany, you must visit this Museum of you love Art History! I was here for the first time attending an exhibition in October: "Rendezvous of Dreams", this was the title of the brilliant exhibition. A retrospective of the Surrealism painters and German Romantic Art artists. Max Ernst, Salvador Dali, Max Lieberman, Meret Oppenheim, Andre Masson, Philipp Otto Runge, Caspar David Friedrich and more artists were sharing the space and were perfectly exhibited! Very good ambient and different ways to interact and learn with this exhibition! Historical videos, films, photos, even an open area where you could paint your own artworks! Hope the management of this cultural institution continues organising events like this one! This was a rebirth into the appreciation of painting and sculpture techniques of the Surrealism and German romanticism movements of art! Two of the most important periods for the history of art! I will keep a close eye on the events organized at Hamburger Kunsthalle, this was so good! Unbelievable!

Great experience and so much to see. I spent 3 hours there and 2 floors of the contemporary were closed.

If you’re searching for a dining experience that feels like a breath of sea air mixed with urban sophistication — look no further than Coast by East. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a sensory journey along the coastline, reimagined with modern flair and soulful precision. From the moment you walk in, you’re enveloped in effortless elegance: soft linen drapes, sun-bleached woods, ocean-toned ceramics, and the gentle hum of chilled cocktails being crafted at the bar. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame the city skyline like a living painting — perfect for sunset drinks or romantic evening meals. The vibe? Calm luxury. Effortless cool. Like a seaside villa designed by a Scandinavian minimalist who fell in love with Japanese restraint. But let’s talk about the food — because Coast by East doesn’t just serve dinner… it serves memories. The seafood here is nothing short of extraordinary. Their crispy-skinned seabass was cooked to perfection — golden, flaky, resting on a bed of saffron-infused fennel and citrus beurre blanc that sang with brightness. The grilled octopus, tender as silk and charred just enough, came with smoked paprika purée and pickled shallots that danced on the palate. Even their simple oyster platter — served with mignonette and finger lime — felt like tasting the North Sea itself. And then there’s the sushi. Yes — sushi. At a coastal-inspired spot, you’d expect it, but not this good. Their tuna tartare with yuzu kosho and avocado cream was pure poetry. The uni (sea urchin) nigiri? Silky, briny, sweet — the kind of bite that makes you pause mid-chew and whisper “wow.” They even have a seasonal sashimi board that changes daily, showcasing fish so fresh it looks like it just swam off the boat. The cocktails? Artisanal masterpieces. Service is impeccable without being stiff. Staff move with quiet grace, anticipate needs before they arise, and clearly adore what they do. Our server spent time explaining each dish’s inspiration — not because we asked, but because they wanted us to feel the story behind every bite. Coast by East isn’t trying to be the biggest, loudest, or trendiest place in town. It’s simply the best version of itself — refined, authentic, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, treating yourself after a long week, or just craving food that makes your soul sigh — this is where you belong. I’ve already booked my next table. Five stars? I’d give it infinity. 🌊🐟🍋

I came by quite late in the evening just looking for a drink, and was still warmly welcomed. The atmosphere was relaxed, and the service was excellent. Special thanks to Kien for the outstanding hospitality – professional, attentive, and genuinely kind. Highly recommended!

I don't understand the negative ratings this restaurant is receiving. Everything was perfect -- food, service, location. Would definitely want to come back here.

We love the coast restaurant, great food, great atmosphere, but over the years the price/benefit ratio is constantly going down. Smaller portions (just an example the Creme brulee is probably half the size it used to be). getting to the 'not worth it anymore' point, which is sad but spending 150 Eu on two starters, one sushi plate and two drinks? Sadly only only 3 stars because of the prices

We have been living in Hamburg for long time, and this place has been our list to visit. And we finally visited Coast by East Hamburg for a special occasion. The high ceiling, green ambience, great view through glass walls, etc. made the good initial impression. Waiter was helpful and patient. And the food tasted good. Not the best sushi/roll that I ever tasted, but beautiful presentation, good taste, and good portion were worth the money.

What a pleasant surprise. Was looking for a relaxing place to have a light lunch during a rainy afternoon. Terrific atmosphere. Sushi here was unbeatable and the service was top notch. Well worth the visit.

Exceptional dining experience thanks to Adam who was a truly exceptional host, providing the best service we have had in years. Food was delicious, and everyone went above and beyond to accommodate my food allergies. Nice location with great views!

Charming little restaurant in a side street near St. Michael’s Church. The seafood soup was really tasty, and the place has a nice historic vibe. However, the staff were surprisingly unfriendly – they even tried to talk us out of staying and trying their famous soup. Another downside was that some of the dishes had chips on them, which isn’t great from a hygiene perspective. A strange experience in an otherwise promising place.

A bit on the expensive side considering what you’re getting but I guess you pay for the history and the place. Very cute little restaurant with a lot of history apparently. We came two people and were seated very closely next to another couple, in general I think that you’re seated quite snuggly with other patrons which is not always that nice. We were served a small appetizer which consisted of four pieces of thinly sliced, very dry bread with a bit of creme fraiche or quark or something like that. Very weird honestly. Germany is know for their bakeries, but this was very sloppy. As a shared starter we tried their labskovs. It’s basically like German tartar. I really found it quite repulsive in flavor, but my partner who is German liked it. I really didn’t like it, but I am happy that I tried it. For main course I had a steak with a baked potato and some greens. My partner had rinderroulade and sauce. My steak was nicely cooked, and so was the other stuff on my plate. Besides that I think it was just quite average. Nothing too overwhelming and special. I do think however, that my girlfriend’s rinderoulade was super nice. Very flavorful sauce, nice tender beef and her potatoes were good too. Only for that reason I give it 4, otherwise it would’ve been an easy 3 stars for me. I think there are much better places to go for this pricepoint in Hamburg.

The interior is beautifully designed with charming furniture that really adds to the warm and inviting ambiance. The staff were attentive, friendly, and very helpful throughout our visit. While there weren’t many options for starters or appetizers, the main courses more than made up for it — both the steak and fish dishes were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a genuine local dining experience in Hamburg

We wanted an authentic German restaurant experience. This is the place! Tucked away on a side alley this is authentic German food. We were helped by our server - she guided us to what we wanted. Super friendly and just the right amount of service. A bit pricey but worth it. We dined outside but you have to take a look inside- gorgeous!

Labskaus appetizer version and Pannfisch was good enough to split with 2 people. I was prepared to be disappointed but I was actually delighted by the food quality. The mustard sauce was not too strong not too weak. The potatos bacon bits and chives side which came with the Panfish was in particular delicious and a highlight.

Walking into Krameramtsstuben is like stepping into a little German village from centuries ago, right in the middle of Hamburg. It is a charming and cosy environment with half-timbered houses and narrow lanes. There are a few stores and a restaurant. Refarding the restaurant, the staff were fantastic — friendly and genuinely welcoming. We went for the Grand Schnitzel and it was perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor. The beer selection is also spot-on and matches the menu. If you want great German food, this is the spot!

Great place for dining and trying traditional German cuisine! Very friendly staff! I loved the fish! Thank you 😊 🙏 💓

The view- amazing! It makes sense to visig here if you are in Hamburg. Just try to reserve in advance! I went there with a friend, and got to witness a beautiful sunset over the city and the docks. The cocktails are absolutely delightful, I just wish they also had some finger snacks to order. We ordered two drinks each and sat there for almost 3 hours. Dancing chili is a trendsetter here but I honestly loved the Mai Tai wayyy more. The gin basil smash was brilliantly fresh too.

Great place, stylish and elegant bar, with glass floor to ceiling glass, view is amazing to have a drink overlooking the city scape and the river, opens at 18:00

There is no food so the star is for the drinks. It's decent and good quality. This is my second time and loved it. The view and the atmosphere. The only annoying things are time slot is too limited.

Such a cool place, but it would have been a more pleasant experience if the turned down the heavy dance music, made closer to a lounge experience. There is no dancefloor anyway. Come for the view, not the experience

Great Skybar with a view over the harbour. It was very crowded when we were there, but it didn't feel crowded. You do have to wait downstairs for a bit before getting in, but worth it for the view alone.

Nice view, especially at sunset. I would recommend booking in advance, as almost all the tables were booked. We could sit at the bar though, and it was nice. Cocktails are around 15e as you can expect from a rooftop, good but not exceptional. Nice for a drink but no more.

Amazing cocktails, excellent service! Outstanding view

Rly amazing view from top of the hotel / bar👌🏼

The food, the service, the view and the atmosphere all good! It’s one of my favorite rooftops in Hamburg. Great sunset view. Recommended

Great service and delicious drinks. Complimentary popcorn! The view from the rooftop was beautiful and comfortable. We even got to see a thunderstorm with lightning.

View was very nice, they had a great gin selection and mix the drinks great. But service was very sub par. You have to wait to be seated, but no one takes you’re order. Weitor does not give you any info on ordering, when trying to get an order from the bar it takes 10 to get attention and 25 minutes to get the drinks. One guy paid and left. We finally got our drinks but only had them And then left. Very nice place but poor management, because the were well staffed. So to bad.

Friendly, lovely and kind service. All the staff smile and give you a good feeling!!! Very good service. Cocktails were great. Beautiful sunset view. Location was excellent!!!!!

Excellent service, good beer, grate views and nice music. This bar is well worth the visit. The staff is super friendly and they play cool music. I sat outside and enjoyed the view. I will definitely go back next time I am in Hamburg.

Went back and a new staff member has been absolutely amazing, several times....it's all about attitude. This guy is a gem. =========== Lovely rooftop bar with amazing views over the Alster, get there early to get an outdoor table. Service was hit and miss, I waited forever to even get a menu with several waiters passing me, probably assuming the other had taken care of me. And getting drinks or reordering took forever... Snappy comments included. I would be back, hope they improve.

Good experience walking around, very quiet but fun experience, staff were very kind

A small but lovely place to visit. Me and my daughter visited the museum in a cold rainy day and at the entrance we find out that we have no place to leave our coats and umbrella. Beside this inconvenient, we enjoyed the wax figures some of them lifelike representations.

Panoptikum offers an immersive and captivating experience that beautifully blends history with modern storytelling. The exhibits are thoughtfully curated, engaging, and visually stunning, making it easy to lose yourself in the stories they tell. The atmosphere is unique and intriguing, perfect for anyone curious about culture and the past. Highly recommended for a memorable and enriching visit!

There Are many German known persons, and saying the truth- not everyone is known for People around the world. Also quality for older scuptures was not the best. But Nice place for aprox.7eur. Nice atmosphere.

Very small and way far from looking like the real characters. In comparable to Madame Tussauds. Doesn’t worth 8.90 Euros per ticket

This wax museum was a surprise in the centre of the St Pauli strip. For €6.50 there was a lot more figures than I expected to see, and the fact that they include an English or German audiotape alongside it was a big plus. My only issue is that I'm not big on history so I was hoping for less historical figures, and more movie/music stars. However, it was a nice way to spend an hour so I would consider it a nice experience either way!

Although this museum is small, I enjoyed my visit. Some of the wax figures were a little creepy looking. Lol Give them a chance and check them out! 8/28/23

I feel of two minds about this museum. On the one hand, some of the exhibits were fantastic, like Hello Image, Tin, and Arab Graphic Design. On the other hand, the standard exhibits feel very dated by comparison. The glitter exhibit in particular felt very forced and nonsensical. It's very loosely connected, and the works that were there didn't feel very inspiring. A timeline of the use of glitter in popular culture doesn't really work. I was also disappointed by the musical instruments exhibit, which was focused almost entirely on pianos. I feel there're so many unique, beautiful instruments out there, I would love to have seen more saxophone production or something. I would still come visit, it's a very good museum. The Der Spiegel room is like something out of a dream, and it's worth visiting for that alone.

The space is superbly organised. A very rich selection of themes and collections. Contemporary art is neighbouring with a collection of exhibits from Egypt and ancient Greece. Each exhibit has a bilingual description. Atmospheric cafe. Any visitor will find something of interest. A chic museum shop with a huge selection of books.

The museum is a real gem for lovers of architecture and the history of industrial design. The transition from the 19th century to the 20th and a complete change in the way of living and the materials used for furniture. How much did new materials affect everyday life, habits and the very organization of living space. A rich collection of objects from Japan that influenced art in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Also, a beautiful cafe with a view of the inner courtyard. The museum shop offers a huge collection of books related to interior design, architecture and furniture. Wonderful experience.

The museum is much bigger than it looks from the outside. It houses an eclectic collection of art from different areas and regions. I really enjoyed some sections whereas others were not so much my cup of tea. Overall I found it very enjoyable and would go again if I wanted to refresh my memory. There was no wait when I entered and I got lucky that a revamped section of the museum was opened with pomp and fanfare when I visited.

it was a rainy day in Hamburg. We went to this museum and how fun is it they had a glitter exhibit in a museum of something. I never expect to see They also had many other art deco exhibit and many other important exhibit. It’s a nice way to spend a couple hours and if you have children, they had a workshop that you could make things out of glitter they also have a nice café, so fun.

I enjoyed it, plenty of descriptions in English, and some lovely ancient artefacts. Especially good on the early twentieth century, art noveau,etc. Not sure about the (temporary) glitter exhibition. People like and liked to wear glittery things...and...so what. Good cafe, usual German museum thing where you're not sure if your expected to go through a closed door or not (no sign!). But overall great museum. Here's some of my favourites, from the first ever (?) fitted kitchen, by Margarete Schutte-Lihotzky, to a 6000 year old figure, and some lovely pottery.

Amazing museum, I was even lucky enough to see and in a way participate in a Japanese tea ceremony. I would love to visit again if I'm ever back in Hamburg.

You will see some interesting things. It was small, not that big. And if you are patient enough to read the guidance, you will like it. We learned sth by visiting this small museum. :))

It was a small museum, but very informative Especially about coffee and tea trading I learned a lot

What others have already written. The owner/staff were weird, bordering on unfriendly. One of the two men was constantly staring at people as if we were there to rob him. I'd have given 4 stars if it weren't for this man. Currently everyone can enter but you need to register with Luca app. The museum is tiny, it's just one room.

Cute little (very little) museum but not worth the price. Very few descriptions in English, though do offer an audio guide. It’s better to just have a coffee in there instead.

A small museum telling you the history of that neiborhood. It's mostly in German, with about a third on the content translated into English. It's not super informative, but quite lively. A place for both adults and kids.

Real nice museum. It's small indeed, but that makes it very pleasant. I easily spent 1,5 hour there, reading the plaques and watching the objects. Plus: they have great souvenirs, especially if you like tea, coffee and/or ports!

Nice smaller museum with a café inside. There are 5-6 steps at the entrance but the exposition itself is on one floor with wide enough spaces for a wheelchair. I rather like that the exposition is structured by aspect rather than chronologically, it gives a better insight into what life around the Speicherstadt was actually like. There are some pieces that are interactive. I particularly enjoyed how i found the answer on how probing of cargoes was done in the past by actually trying it out myself. The café has a good selection of teas, some softdrinks and a tasty cake.

It's sad to see that a city that was so important in the history of the most important rock/pop band of all time hasn't given the Beatles a proper monument. I give it 3 stars and I'm being generous.

If you’re a Beatles fan this is the place for you…in the heart of the red light area

Underwhelming. It’s in the red light district so I get the shabby vibe but for such an iconic group maybe dress it up a little.

No tickets required, it is a plaza (platz) open on the street. The platz seemed to used for storage of pedestrian gates for some upcoming event. Preventing a good picture of the statues.

This is just a circle dedicated to the Beetles as this was the area when they visited Hamburg. A very cool place to visit.

Beatles-Platz is a unique and vibrant public square located in Hamburg’s bustling St. Pauli district, right at the crossroads of the famous Reeperbahn and Große Freiheit streets. Opened in September 2008, this plaza commemorates the crucial and formative years The Beatles spent in Hamburg during the early 1960s before their global breakthrough. It celebrates Hamburg’s profound influence on the band’s early growth and serves as a popular pilgrimage site for Beatles fans from around the world. Design and Symbolism The circular plaza spans 29 meters (about 95 feet) in diameter and is paved with black granite to resemble a giant vinyl record, symbolizing The Beatles’ musical legacy. Around its perimeter stand five life-sized stainless steel silhouettes representing the band members as they appeared during their Hamburg era: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, original bassist Stuart Sutcliffe, and a hybrid silhouette combining the two drummers Pete Best and Ringo Starr. The statues, created by architects Dohse & Stich, capture the youthful essence and dynamic presence of the band during their early days playing long sets in Hamburg’s clubs. Embedded in the plaza’s pavement are the titles of about 70 Beatles songs, connecting visitors even more deeply with their iconic music. At night, special lighting at the edges of the plaza simulates a rotating record, enhancing the immersive and celebratory atmosphere of the site. Historical Context Throughout the early 1960s, before The Beatles became international superstars, Hamburg was where they honed their craft, performing marathon sessions in small clubs like the Indra, Kaiserkeller, and Star-Club. Despite harsh living conditions—cramped storerooms and long playing hours—the experience helped shape their musicianship and stage presence. John Lennon famously remarked, “I might have been born in Liverpool, but I grew up in Hamburg,” highlighting the city’s formative role in their rise. The Beatles’ time in Hamburg was also marked by their encounter with photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who influenced their distinctive “mop-top” haircuts and iconic style. Hamburg’s red-light district was both a challenging and inspiring environment that propelled the band’s transformation from struggling young musicians to the pioneers of the British Invasion. Visitor Experience Beatles-Platz is not just a static monument but a lively meeting point that invites interaction. Visitors often pose within the band-member silhouettes, imagining themselves part of the legendary group. The plaza’s design encourages fans to immerse themselves in the legacy of The Beatles, making it a popular photo spot. The square’s location in the heart of the nightlife district means visitors can easily continue exploring nearby venues, clubs, and museums celebrating the band’s Hamburg story. Guided Beatles-themed walking tours commonly start or end here, providing detailed histories and anecdotes about the band’s time in the city. The collaborative funding and support from the City of Hamburg and public donations highlight the city’s pride in its musical heritage. Accessibility and Surroundings Situated in the vibrant St. Pauli area, Beatles-Platz is easily reachable by public transport with nearby stops such as the U3 St. Pauli station or the S-Bahn trains at Reeperbahn. Visitors can combine their visit with exploring the famous Reeperbahn nightlife, the Beatles Museum nearby, or cultural institutions in the Hamburg harbor area.

The monument is so-so, but the evening atmosphere is something amazing. A cocktail of adventurism, absolute freedom, debauchery and delight)))

If you are looking for an authentic place to enjoy tasty coffee this is the place to go. They are also giving coffee tasting workshops. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Also a great shop to buy beans, large variety of coffee for coffee lovers.

This review is only about the guided tour: We had booked a 50min guided tour of the cellar/basement. The ticket clearly said tour of the cellar and gave timings of 50min. The guide arrived 5min late which is ok. The guide was very friendly and told great stories about coffee roasting and history — we appreciated his passion and knowledge. But he spent 60min giving us a lecture of two machines in the upper cafe. Finally we were taken to basement/museum. But there he just collected us in a circle and again gave lecture of 20min. We could not stay more because we had to catch our train. They should be better organized. The people from the coffee tasting (2h experience) were patched together with those who just wanted the guided tour of basement. Huge waste of money. I would advise people to just book self tour of museum with audio app so you can view the entire basement. Much cheaper.

Review: “A Sip of Perfection—A Hidden Sanctuary for True Coffee Lovers” There are places you stumble upon by accident, but your soul instantly recognizes them as a kind of destiny. That’s how I found Kaffeemagie, a small café tucked away on a quiet street in Hamburg, far from tourist crowds, where coffee isn’t just a beverage—it’s ritual, it’s craft, it’s pure alchemy. The wooden door creaked as I opened it, as if whispering stories of decades past. Inside, the air was rich with the scent of freshly ground beans, of artisanal roasts, of promises waiting to be fulfilled. No loud music, just the comforting hum of the grinder, the hiss of the espresso machine, and the gentle murmur of patrons speaking in reverent tones—like a library, but for the senses. I was greeted by a barista who doesn’t just make coffee—he lives it. I asked for a recommendation, and with a knowing smile, he offered a V60 brew of a Panama Geisha that had just arrived. “We only serve this to people who’ll understand it,” he said. I felt like I had been handed a secret password to a world few get to enter. The brewing process was a quiet performance. Floral aroma, citrusy brightness, and a texture so silky it could pass for velvet. No sugar, of course. Here, the sweetness comes from the bean itself and the care with which it’s treated. I said nothing. Just sat there, sipping, letting time slow down. In one corner, a couple debated anaerobic fermentation methods. In another, someone was reading about heirloom Ethiopian varietals. This is not a café for the rushed. It’s a sanctuary for those who know that coffee has terroir, history, character. I left with a bag of washed Ethiopian beans, a handwritten list of recommendations, and the deep satisfaction that I had experienced something more than a cup of coffee—I had been part of a story. Recommended for: Those who seek specialty coffee handled with respect, precision, and love. Not for those just looking for “something with milk.”

One of my most favourite coffee houses in the entirety of Hamburg. The coffee is first rate. Some of the best if not the best in the city. The cafe is a gorgeous space to sit and relax in for a a while. And the cake......well, go and see for yourself. Wonderful atmosphere and a chunk of history to boot.

Very good and special coffe. Highly recommend for coffelovers.

Great experience! I bought the tour+tasting session and it was amazing although it was only in German but there are English audio guides. The staff are really nice and passionate about coffee and the coffees in the tasting are very high quality especially the Ugandan Robusta. 10/10 would come here again :)

First of all, the place is beautifully designed — just like its name, almost a museum. And when it comes to coffee, you can taste their mastery from the very first sip. But here’s a problem: someone, by mistake, must have let a sun slip inside — a barista, perhaps. Not just light and warmth — no, a living sun… moving with grace, laughing softly, setting hearts alight. She dances, she glows… and leaves you wondering — should I dare to smile, or simply look away? And now… I had to step outside. I’m cold now. Her smile, her hair, that effortless sway… the word sun can be translated into every tongue — but what of her? What name could ever hold her light? And now… In this city where I meant to be an Ernst Thälmann, I drift like Raskolnikov… Aimless, through quiet streets. Cold. For the sun has set in Hamburg now… /alikemalocalan

Very interesting collection, you can listen to the music and there‘s a separate part one can visit (with the same ticket), including other composers. And a lovely couple explained everything in English for us!

The Brahms Museum is dedicated to the life and works of Johannes Brahms, one of the most influential composers of the 19th century. Located in the composer’s birthplace of Hamburg, Germany, the museum offers an in-depth look at Brahms’s life, his music, and his impact on classical music.

Very informative and nice museum located in the composers' quarter - lots of interesting exhibits and very cool to have the chance to see a Tafelklavier which was owned by Brahms and upon which Brahms himself played. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and although we only had about half an hour it was definitely worth visiting!

Lovely museum - I spent a very nice rainy afternoon here. Docents are knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of opportunities to listen to music samples. Don’t miss the other “mini museums” for other composers - I especially recommend the Mahler section at the end.

Such an amazing experience, really recommend it to classical music lovers. The guides were extremely nice and friendly.

Words cannot describe the incredible time we had at this museum and the neighbouring one. The guides were spectacularly well versed and genuinely thoughtful. Thank you to Renate and our guide Ulrich for the incredible hospitality to myself and my grandmother Meriel. We felt right at home in Hamburg.

Awesome museum even if you dont know much about music.. we were so fortunate to find the place and we even had a English guided tour!

Very nice there , good atmosphere,can see many It was a great experience to see many boats and some old boats.

A wonderful experience onboard the largest coal burning vessel...the crew were extremely friendly & i nearly got a captains post for the vesel...its amazing how well kept the vessel is & its true to its original style...the vessel sails & can be chartered for trips...

I recommend to visit this place and enjoy the positive vibes

Doesn't look like a museum at all. Just some old boats/ships there with descriptions. But it s nice to have a walk along the coast and it s a ferry stop there. Amazing sunset there.

There is a free audio guide app that you can download and listen about all the ships/boats. You can find the information on the entrance of dock from land side, or also in some parts of the dock.

Artificial beach on the Elbe river. Summer would be the best time to be here, but winter wasn’t less charming. The cafe’s and having gluh wine in the winters are probably the best possible things to do. Use the famous route 62 ferry from Landungsbrucken to arrive at ovelgonne.

Great place for rest you can see rhe river and take a soft drink with the view 🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

If you want to go for a walk and want to relax, please visit here. Trust me, you can spend whole day here, especially at afternoon until the sun goes down completely. A good atmosphere, with fresh air will give you a great experience. I definitely recommend it, if you visit hamburg Harbour or nearby.

It's in walkable distance from the bus station. You can also have sun bath, in one of the extended roof, located near to the pavement. It gives a commecial view to the sea and harbour area. It could be also a nice sport to see fire works during New Year eve or Harbour birthday party. You can also take a walk along the balkon and feel the sun and relax.

Breathtaking views overlooking the bustling Hamburg port. A perfect spot to take in the city’s maritime charm

its like a 10 - 15 minute walk from Altona station. Its a large nice grass lawn sitting area before the actual look out point with benches, Its a great spot for walks, chilling and enjoying the view

The views are just amazing, the park it’s really calm and quiet so it’s perfect to sit and enjoy the view.

You can easely watch big cargo boats and cruise ships enter the port of Hambourg, nice camera shooting spot. Plus, there is a bigger Parc with a path going down to old public ship museum port.

View is beautiful at night though the infrastructure is not the best. Don't recommend a visit during a rainy day

It's a nice museum, I especially liked the caricatures on migration, as well as the house replicas you could walk through. I was however quite shocked that the museum is largely talking about colonialism; it's ships, colonial stores, trade with the Americas, people from that time, as well as colonial pottery. There's however no comment anywhere about colonialism, on who's backs those riches were gained, and that feels highly inappropriate to be like that in 2023 still. My hope is that the museum will add some balances information about this time. I added some pictures of places where I think a quick note could be easily added.

Great exhibits, quiet and well suited for younger children on upper floors.

Superb museum focusing on the very interesting and quite specific history of Altona, roughly speaking the western part of Hamburg. The large museum needs several hours to be explored properly, preferably even half a day or more. The ground floor focuses on historical ships, including an awesome collection of large-scale models and the renowned series of bow statues. On the upper floors several other aspects of Altona's rich history get proper attention. The café is also pretty good.

Altona history museum. It was fascinating to know more about the city and how it's became a part of Hamburg. Especially recommended to ship and sea lovers. It has a huge hall with maritime showpieces.

A really good museum for the history of Altona. Specially remarkable is the upper floor where you can find reproductions of old housing existing in Altona experiencing how were the living conditions of the locals in the 19th Century.

2 nice exhibitions worth visiting now; one on Altona development over time and another on photos taken by refugees in Hamburg

Terrific experience to experience the history of my neighborhood!! Quite interactive and a unique experience. Happy they didn't close it à few years ago..

This was a fun stop, and easy way to see the city from up high. There are lots of stairs so be prepared. The only negative is how crowded it was up top. They want you to buy drinks and snacks up there, so lots of people and it is hard to see over the edge. You have to get your views from the stairs, not necessarily up top. The prices for snacks were not bad, but more than if buying at ground level.

Location: 25 min by walking from Harbour (river tunnel). Service: top of the bunker there is a cafe if you’d like to have a rest, there is toilet at 3rd floor. History & ambiance: pretty impressive to see such a building with interesting history & full of concrete. Waiting is just for security check as it is forbidden to have water & food. No ticket is required. Top view is amazing. Highly recommended!

The Hamburg Bunker is a fascinating landmark that combines history and modern culture. Originally a WWII air-raid shelter, it now serves as a cultural hotspot with music events, exhibitions, and a rooftop garden. The massive concrete structure is impressive, and from the top you get one of the best panoramic views over Hamburg. A unique place where history meets creativity

Impressive and historic WWII bunker in the middle of Hamburg. The size and architecture are striking, and it's interesting to see how the space is being reused today. Guided tours (when available) offer fascinating insights into its past. Even just walking around the outside is worth it—lots of cool street art and a unique atmosphere. It offers such a stunning view too! A must-see for history lovers and urban explorers!

very special experience. better arrange visit during week days since many visitors come here during weekend! Café is a great place to make a break.

Fantastic views from the top but you do have to walk up. The steps are not steep but there are quite a few. Best thing is it's free. It wasn't busy at all but there is not a lot up there just garden and view.

Nice place to visit although need to climb the stairs to the top. Entrance is free. Do not bring big steel/plastic water bottles as they don’t allow entry. The views going up are probably better that the view right at the top as there are many plants blocking.

Beautiful park and interesting mansion that includes some of the original furnishings. I was particularly interested in the bathtub that Jenisch had installed for his wife (back then, having a private bathroom was a huge project because there was no indoor plumbing to speak of). NOTE: the only reason I recommend getting tickets online ahead of time is that their system for credit card payments is a bit random so you may need to pay in cash. Also, feel free to ask the staff about the history of the house, they are incredibly well-informed and their info added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the visit.

Nice view, park and house. The pieces of furniture look really great and reconditioned. The are some paintings too, mostly portraits. The tapestry on the ground floor looks shriveled here and there. The entrance to the park is free, there were people jogging or walking their dogs. Friendly staff.

Amazing place and park to visit . The cafe was not worth it but overall i liked the experience

Nice countryside villa from 19th century

Lots of Hamburg history in a beautiful place

Perfect location. Good view. I really like this place.

Wonderful location, wonderful house and fascinating history. Well worth a look👍🏻😊

Drinks and service were great. Though you'd expect a bit of a few in a Skybar. We were facing a wall on our table, but even looking behind us, the view to the outside left much to be desired.

Lovely lovely place to have some drinks! The views are incredible to see Hamburg from above. Although the cocktails are quite expensive it is definitely worth the visit. They have a vast selection of drinks so you can choose from a wide variety, otherwise ask for some recommendations.

Nice view. delicious cocktails. Incredible price/quality balance when it is happy hour. Personal un regular, sometimes nice sometimes not. Preferably book in advance to get spot with the view.

Best happy hour tip for Hamburg harbour: drinks at the top! 6pm-7pm, nice drinks (limited choice) with glass straws instead of plastic (!), nice staff, gorgeous view.

Lovely place with also great drink. Not that kind of chill and quiet place, but more like place to have fun with friends and chat.

Very disappointed by the accessibility. Lift to Tower Bar isn't actually to the bar; you have to climb two flights of stairs after getting out of the lift. The view is probably lovely from the top seating area in the bar. We couldn't tell as that's up another curved set of around 20 stairs. When we arrived, with a person using a walking stick, we weren't shown to seats by the biggest window on the level we had reached, but in a darker corner with small windows. People who arrived after us were shown to the better visibility seats. If you aren't able to climb stairs I wouldn't recommend it as your view will be very restricted. Drink prices were average for a hotel bar.

It’s over the „Landungsbrücken“. What a great view! The drinks were also very good. Definitely reserve to get the good places
