Why Hamburg Landungsbrücken and Harbour matters

The Landungsbrücken are the floating piers at the harbour's edge, and the best place to feel Hamburg's maritime character. Ferries on the public transport network leave from here, and harbour tours show you the cranes, docks and the Elbphilharmonie from the water.

Talking points

  • Public ferries run from these piers
  • Harbour cruises depart here
  • The harbour view is the main draw
