Compare Hotels in Hamburg from NZ$86

The largest port city in Germany—and the second-largest in all of Europe—is also home to Hamburgers. Lots and lots of Hamburgers. We’re referring to the people, of course (although Hamburg has regular hamburgers too, if you’re into that).

That’s not all the city has going for it, of course; from exploring its many museums to just chilling out along the banks of the Elbe, you’ll have plenty do to during your visit. Book one of lastminute.co.nz’s Hamburg hotels and get used to life in “Tor zur Welt” or “the gateway to the world”.

Things to Do In Hamburg

Hamburg’s age is definitely showing—with historic architecture, that is. Visit the remains of the 11th-century Bishop’s Tower, the 9th-century Hammaburg fortress or Hulbe-Haus, an arts house built at the beginning of the 20th century.

Check out lastminute.co.nz’s Hamburg hotel deals near Rathaus, the Neo-Renaissance city hall building; or Zollenbrücke, Hamburg’s oldest bridge, built in the 17th century. In a city with more bridges than Amsterdam, Venice and London combined, that’s quite a title!

Had enough bridges in your life? Stay over dry land with visits to the St. Mikolai church, the Miniature Wonderland and the Hamburg Dungeon if you’re into ruins, model railways or torture, respectively. If not, relax on one of the Elbe’s north side beaches or take a dip in its waters.

And of course, there’s the Laeiszhalle Elbphilharmonie for classical music, the Imtech Arena for football and numerous venues for live theatre. Try everything—you’ll have plenty of cash left over, since you booked one of lastminute.co.nz’s Hamburg package deals!

Getting to and Around Hamburg

When you land at Hamburg Airport (HAM), you’ll be just 11km away from downtown and great Hamburg accommodation. Hop the S-Bahn S1 commuter train to get to Central Station—from there, you can get all over the city. Taxis and bicycles are plentiful, but for ultimate freedom check out lastminute.co.nz’s car hire options.

Hamburg may be Germany’s Gateway to the World, but it’s your gateway to Germany. You can spend all your annual leave here…but if you want to spice up your trip even more, check out our Berlin hotels to explore more of Germany.

Either way, you’ll save big when you book with lastminute.co.nz—so put that money toward something fun, like souvenirs for us!
