Port of Hamburg

About 8,000 ships from all over the world call at Europe's second largest port. From Hamburgs cruise ship terminal to the historic Speicherstadt and the jetties to the modern container port - it smells like freedom and distant countries here.

On a barge tour or a visit to one of the legendary museum ships, visitors can find out at first hand why Hamburg is called the "Gateway to the World". You can also get things from all over the world every Sunday at the legendary Hamburg fish market. Since 1703, the market has been selling just about anything that can't be nailed down, be it kilograms of fish at bargain prices, a dusty porcelain pot or a family of squeaky ducks.

Special insights are offered - not only in "dirty weather" - by the International Maritime Museum on the edge of the new HafenCity, the emigration museum "BallinStadt" and the harbour museum, whose current attraction is the restored four-master "PEKING". Get wanderlust? In our maritime world you will find detailed tips and information about harbour tours, venerable tall ships, arrivals of luxury cruisers as well as spectacular building projects in HafenCity and sights such as the Elbe Philharmonic Hall.

Traditional weekly market in Altona Fischmarkt

A real Hamburg classic – since 1703!

Sunday morning in Hamburg. While most of the city still sleeps, the Große Elbstraße wakes up to the bustling rhythm of the Hamburg Fish Market. For over 300 years, it’s been a place of trade, tradition and typical northern charm – full of energy, humor and harbor atmosphere.

Auctioneers, Music & Market Magic

Since 1703, almost anything that’s not nailed down is for sale – from antique teapots to freshly packed meat parcels. Legendary market characters like Aale-Dieter shout their offers into the crowd, bananas fly through the air, and fish is sold by the bucket. You’ll find fresh seafood, tropical fruit, flowers, clothing, souvenirs and much more – the market is a full-sensory experience.

Between night and morning – one iconic gathering

Party-goers fresh off the Reeperbahn mingle with early risers at the harborfront, sipping coffee or munching on a fish roll as the sun rises. For some, the day is just beginning; for others, it’s not quite over yet. The historic Fish Auction Hall from 1896 completes the experience with live music and breakfast options.

Opening Hours

Summer (April–October): Sunday from 5:00 to 9:30 AM

Winter (November–March): Sunday from 7:00 to 9:30 AM

A must-see for culture lovers, Hamburg fans and foodies alike!

Oasis in the city. Außenalster

The Alster divides into the Binnen- and Außenalster at the Lombardsbrücke bridge. The Außenalster in particular offers excellent recreational opportunities with its numerous parks and adjacent sports facilities. The banks of the Alster in Harvestehude, Uhlenhorst and Winterhude are the preferred living quarters of the wealthy Hamburg residents.

Stroll, relax and watch the ships on the Elbe beach Elbstrand Övelgönne

The Elbe beach near Övelgönne is a pretty hot tip in summer. When the temperatures rise and the sun burns, nothing is more refreshing than a jump into the cool water.
