Seven-day suggested route

An itinerary for those landing in Hamburg without rush, who want to leave understanding why the city works the way it does: the harbour rules, red brick stitches the old town together, and what's new is built right on top without asking permission. Seven days for the complete version.

Day 1 · Arrival and orientation · HafenCity

Check-in in HafenCity or St. Pauli. Afternoon walk to the Elbphilharmonie and up to its Plaza, 37 m above the harbour (free with a timed ticket). Dinner at a Fischbrötchen stand on Brücke 10 at sunset.

Day 2 · Speicherstadt and Miniatur Wunderland

The whole morning in the Speicherstadt, the world's largest warehouse district (UNESCO World Heritage). Book ahead for Miniatur Wunderland: 2-3 hours minimum. Afternoon in HafenCity: contemporary architecture, Marco Polo Terrassen, coffee by the water.

Day 3 · Reeperbahn, St. Pauli and night

Quiet morning in Schanzenviertel (cafés, bookshops). Visit Beatles-Platz and the Old Elbtunnel (free, open 24 h, a 1911 pedestrian tunnel under the Elbe lined with ceramic tiles). Night in the Reeperbahn: jazz in any basement, an Astra beer in your hand.

Day 4 · The Alster lake and green districts

Cruise the Alster (the artificial lake right in the centre). Walk through Eppendorf and Winterhude, Hamburg's most elegant residential districts. Lunch at the Isemarkt, the market that runs under the U-Bahn tracks on Thursdays and Fridays.

Day 5 · Fischmarkt and shore

Wake up before sunrise (literally: 5 a.m.) for the Altona Fischmarkt on Sundays. Breakfast among fishmongers shouting their wares. Afterwards, a walk along Strandperle in Övelgönne, the Elbe's "beach" with a view of the working port.

Day 6 · Day trip to Lübeck

A full day in Lübeck, 45 minutes by train. A UNESCO-listed medieval old town, Niederegger marzipan and the seven bell towers of the Hanseatic League. Back to Hamburg for dinner.

Day 7 · Living harbour and farewell

Morning boat tour through the working harbour: container terminals, dry docks, the big Maersk ships at berth. Lunch at the Landungsbrücken. Free afternoon for that café in the Speicherstadt you promised yourself you'd remember, or a farewell on the Elbphilharmonie deck.
