\n

The main rail station in Hamburg is Hamburg Central Station in the city centre, located around four kilometres north of the cruise terminal. The easiest way to reach the cruise port from the train station is to take the\u00a0MSC Cruises shuttle service, which takes up to 30 minutes and costs \u20ac12 per person or \u20ac20 per person for a round-trip ticket<\/strong>. These shuttle buses leave from ZOB\/Hamburg Central Bus Station, which you can find by taking the Kirchenallee exit from the train station, turning right and crossing over the street onto Adenauerallee.<\/p>\n

It’s also possible to take public transport from the train station to the cruise port, although this can take up to one hour. If using public transport, take the U-Bahn (line U3) from Hauptbahnhof S\u00fcd to Landungsbr\u00fccken, then walk over to the Landungsbr\u00fccken ferry port. Take the 73 ferry to Argentinienbr\u00fccke, which is approximately a 15-minute walk from the cruise terminal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I get from the Hamburg cruise terminal to the city centre?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The Hamburg cruise terminal is located around\u00a0three kilometres south-west of the city centre<\/strong>\u00a0and it can take over an hour to walk from the cruise port to the city. The easiest way to get to the city centre from the cruise terminal is to take a taxi, which you can hail from the cruise terminal itself or order via an app.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can take public transport. Leave the cruise terminal onto Buchheisterstra\u00dfe, then turn right onto Reiherdamm. Walk down to the Argentinienbr\u00fccke ferry pier and take the 73 ferry to Landungsbr\u00fccken. From there, you can either walk into the centre or take the U-Bahn (metro) to various central locations, such as Jungfernstieg, Hauptbahnhof Nord or Hauptbahnhof S\u00fcd.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>How do I get from Hamburg Airport to the cruise port?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Hamburg Airport is located around 19 kilometres north of the cruise port. The easiest way to get from the airport to the cruise terminal is to request an MSC Cruises transfer service via the MSC Cruises call centre. You can also get a taxi, which takes between 30 minutes and one hour, depending on traffic, and should cost between \u20ac35-\u20ac50.<\/p>\n

You can also take public transport from\u00a0Hamburg Airport\u00a0<\/strong>to the cruise port. To do so, take the S-Bahn (line S11) from the airport (Flughafen) towards\u00a0Wedel\u00a0<\/strong>and get off at Barmbek.

<\/i><\/i><\/span>What is Hamburg famous for?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Hamburg is a major port city in northern Germany and the second biggest city in the country. The city built its wealth as a historic Hanseatic port and is today famous for its rich maritime heritage and its countless canals and bridges, which visitors can enjoy from a boat cruise or guided tour. Its old warehouse district, the Speicherstadt, is the best place to see the canals and has been declared a\u00a0UNESCO World Heritage Site<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The city is also known for its mix of Baroque, Renaissance and modern architecture, its huge, modern port (where the cruise terminal is located), its \u2018beach\u2019 bars along the banks of the Norderelbe and the St. Pauli nightlife district.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Is Hamburg expensive?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

As Hamburg is a major city in Germany, it may be considered fairly expensive to visit by general standards. However, it is entirely possible to enjoy the city on a small budget and there are many great\u00a0free things<\/strong>\u00a0to do in Hamburg.<\/p>\n

One of the best free activities is simply to walk around the city\u2019s different districts and admire its streets and architecture. Hamburg is also home to many parks and gardens, such as the Planten un Blomen botanical park, as well as the pristine Alster Lakes close to the centre. There are also a handful of museums and galleries in Hamburg that are completely free to enter, such as the Zoological Museum.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"parent":44331,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"100-width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[270],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34510","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-ports"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/19"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34510"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":64356,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/34510\/revisions\/64356"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/44331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/msccruises.co.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
