What is included in the Hamburg City Pass? +
The Hamburg City Pass gives you free entry to over 20 attractions and activities in Hamburg. These include well-known sights such as the Michel (St. Michaelis Church), numerous museums (e.g. the International Maritime Museum or the museum ship Rickmer Rickmers) as well as leisure attractions like the Panoptikum wax museum or black-light minigolf.
Also included at no extra cost are a hop-on hop-off city tour, a harbour cruise on the Elbe, an Alster cruise and exciting guided city tours. Optionally, you can book the pass with a public transport ticket - in that case, all public transport (HVV) within the city area is free to use for the duration of the pass.
How do I activate the pass and how long is it valid? +
The Hamburg City Pass activates automatically on the first day you selected as the start date when booking. From that point, the pass is valid for the number of consecutive days you booked (1 to 7 days available).
Important: The validity days must run consecutively and cannot be interrupted. You should use your pass for the first time within 12 months of the purchase date - the first visit to an attraction activates the pass permanently.
Can I visit attractions more than once? +
Each attraction included in the City Pass can only be visited once free of charge per pass. A second visit to the same attraction is not covered by the same pass during the validity period.
Which public transport services can I use? +
If you book the Hamburg City Pass including public transport, you receive an HVV ticket for fare zone AB for the duration booked. This lets you use all services of Hamburg's public transport network (HVV):
Note: Public transport use is optional and only included if you selected the "With Public Transport Ticket" option.
Is the pass valid for journeys to the airport? +
Yes! The Hamburg City Pass with public transport also entitles you to travel to/from Hamburg Airport. The airport lies in HVV zone AB, so the journey by S-Bahn line S1 from the airport to the city centre is fully included in the pass.
So if you have booked the public transport option, you can board the S-Bahn directly at the airport on arrival and travel to the city centre without an additional ticket.
