Breakfast at the Fischmarkt - from € 2.00

Old Elbe Tunnel & Elphi Plaza - free

Have you always dreamed of walking underneath a river? You can do this any time in Hamburg. The listed Old Elbe Tunnel runs for 426 metres below the Elbe and can be used as a public thoroughfare by pedestrians and cyclists - for free, of course. But not only the tunnels themselves are an unusual photo motif - from the other side you can see the wonderful city skyline, which is always worth a snapshot. If you'd rather see the city from on high, you should go to the Plaza of the Elbphilharmonie - from where you have a grand view of Hamburg Harbour. // Old Elbe Tunnel: at the St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken 5, 20359 Hamburg

Miniatur Wunderland – Adults € 14.00 with Hamburg CARD

Harbour Round Trips - Adults € 16.00 with Hamburg CARD

No matter if you go with a launch, a passenger vessel or a paddle wheel steamer, in Hamburg there are many opportunities to take short (60 minute) or longer (120 minute) harbour round trips. From the water, you get an entirely new view of the city; you also learn more about the history of the harbour. The evening light cruises of Rainer Abicht are especially enjoyable: within one hour, you can have particularly beautiful impressions of the illuminated Speicherstadt and of the illuminated harbour. These trips are the perfect symbiosis of romantic, technology and history.

Climbing the Michel - € 4.00 with the Hamburg CARD

During good weather, it's definitely worth it climbing the 452 stairs of Hamburg's main protestant church St. Michaelis - known as 'Michel' in Hamburg. You'll be rewarded with a fantastic view of the city from a height of 106 metres. For those who are not stair-climbers, the viewing platform can also be reached via the elevator on the 1st floor (there's no way of getting around 52 stairs). Of course, the church is also worth a visit; it has been a Hamburg landmark since 1669, and has been continually renovated since 1983. // Hauptkirche St. Michaelis: Englische Planke 1, 20459 Hamburg

Strolling over the DOM – ca. € 4.00

Starting with the Spring DOM (mid-March to mid-April), the Summer DOM (the end of July to the end of August) and the Winter DOM (early November to early December), it seems like you can eat cotton candy, ride carousels and draw lots all year round. Fun for everyone! // Heiligengeistfeld, 20359 Hamburg, with the U3 to Feldstraße and St. Pauli, or with the S1/S3 to the Landungsbrücken and Reeperbahn.
