Discover the highlights of Hamburg

Hamburg Compact is your perfect bike tour for experiencing all the history, culture, and beauty of Germany’s second-largest city. As you cycle, you’ll receive all the best tips for places to eat and unwind. Enjoy the benefits of bike rental and a family-friendly day tour suitable for children.

Beginning in St. Pauli with its fashion boutiques and trendy cafes, yards away from the infamous glow of the Reeperbahn, you’ll cycle to the landing bridges, offering a fantastic panoramic view of the harbor. You’ll ride on to the Fleeten, the historic waterway where magnificent buildings cast their reflections in Hamburg’s Elbe River.

You’ll feast your eyes on St. Michael’s Church, an icon of Hamburg with its 132-meter-high baroque tower, a guide for ships journeying up the Elbe. In its portal, visitors can marvel at the large bronze statue depicting the Archangel Michael fighting the devil.

You’ll enjoy a cycle along the Alster, Hamburg’s second most important river, to the magnificent Town Hall, a feat of Neo-Renaissance design that stands over the grand Rathausmarkt square. A bike ride along the romantic Jungfernstieg follows, an urban promenade boasting wonderful shopping opportunities.

'Hamburg Compact' could easily be called 'Hamburg Contrast' – you’ll cycle to the old warehouse district, as well as the new HafenCity, the youngest district of Hamburg. HafenCity is home to the famous Elbphilharmonie Hamburg concert hall, as well as the striking red brick warehouses of the 19th-century Speicherstadt complex. Here, enjoy views of the Sandtor Harbor with its trendy waterside residencies and cafes.
