Letting your soul dangle and look at the water - this can be best done on the floating café island Entenwerder 1. The lovingly furnished and freshly prepared delicacies provide for the all-round feel-good package. Entenwerder 1 is one of the most beautiful places in the east of Hamburg.

The Fischereihafen Restaurant, which is also only a few minutes' walk from the Cruise Center Altona, offers a magnificent view of the shipping traffic at the harbour.

Direkt an der Elbe gelegen schlemmen Sie im Café Elbterrassen mit einem schönen Blick auf den Museumshafen Övelgönne.

At CARLS in the Elbphilharmonie, you are very close to the Cruise Terminal in the HafenCity.

The Strandperle is the cult bar on the Elbe beach. With sand under your feet and chilled drinks in your hand you can end the day in a relaxed way. The Elbe is so close to here that the beach pearl has to close the bulkheads in case of heavy rain and flooding. On the other hand, the proximity of the water in good weather offers even better opportunities to watch the thick pots from the first row.

In the Hamburger Elbspeicher, the giant cruisers can be seen from their best side.

The historic Zum Alten Lotsenhaus offers a good view of the incoming and outgoing ships in a cosy atmosphere.

Welcome ships from all over the world at the Schulauer Fährhaus directly adjacent to the Willkomm-Höft and feast as you please.

An oasis of peace with a direct view of the Elbe is the coffee garden Schuldt. In the middle of the Blankeneser Treppenviertel the garden lures with delicious cake, fresh coffee and a marvelous view of the activity on the Elbe. Pass by, enjoy and watch the ships!

What could be better than a fresh fish roll right at the harbor? We can think of nothing! So let's go to bridge 10, where there are delicious snacks for every taste. You can watch ships in the cosy bistro or take a walk along the landing stages with a fish roll on your hand.
