The Landungsbrücken

Explore Hamburg's water station

Hamburg's floating jetty is 700 metres long; the first pontoons were constructed in 1839. Built at that time for storing coal, the jetties today are mainly as points of departure for harbour cruises, harbour ferries and the HADAG steamships to Finkenwerder, Övelgönne and Blankenese. The shuttle ferries to Disney's THE LION KING also start at the Landungsbrücken. In addition, there are numerous opportunities to enjoy culinary delights and to purchase a souvenir or two. The entrance to the old Elbe Tunnel is also located here and invites you to take a stroll. There is no better starting point to explore Hamburg by boat or on foot! If you come to Hamburg on your own keel, you can even moor here and spend the night in the City Sporthafen Hamburg, with a view of the Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall.

So much more Hamburg

Our insider tip - With the ferry to Finkenwerder

As the ferries in Hamburg are part of the public transport system, you can use the Hamburg CARD to get around on the water free of charge. From the Landungsbrücken, take the ferry to Finkenwerder, for example with Line 62. From there the ferry moves through the museum harbour, past the Övelgönner shore to the other side of the Elbe into the Alte Land. During the trip you will see not only the Hamburg skyline, but you can also drink a hot cup of coffee or a cool Astra for a small price. Learn more about the Hamburg CARD here.
