Welcome to Blankenese & the Elbe outskirts!

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Welcome to Blankenese & the Elbe Suburbs!

Here you are closer to the sea. The former fishing and pilot village Blankenese lies directly on the Elbe. From here you can take a sailing boat or the Elbe ferry out for wonderfully long walks along the banks. A further highlight is a visit of the stair quarter with subsequent enjoyment of the view of the lighthouse and the Falkensteiner bank.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Wilhelmsburg & Veddel

The Elbe Island of Wilhelmsburg is embedded between the southern and northern Elbe. It impresses visitors with a mixture of industrial charm and bustling life with multicultural flair. With its historic buildings, cafés and shops, the Wilhelmsburg Reiherstieg area is especially popular. It is even called "Little Berlin" due to its transformation in recent years.

Finkenwerder, on the other hand, has the charm of a fishing village. – Here, you see a quite different, almost rural side of Hamburg. Harburg and Finkenwerder are also good starting points for discovering the Hamburg metropolitan area.
