Culture under the open sky

DIVERSE, EXTENSIVE, HISTORIC Hamburg's open-air culture is as diverse as the city itself

In the Gängeviertel, near Gänsemarkt, narrow alleyways meet small squares and half-timbered houses - a creative hotspot for the alternative arts scene. A short walk away is Planten un Blomen park, where you can relax and watch the spectacular summer water light show. The historic Old Elbe Tunnel, the Cap San Diego and the Rickmer Rickmers add a maritime flair, while the nearby Speicherstadt and Kontorhaus District - both UNESCO World Heritage Sites - showcase the city's architectural diversity. A trip to Bergedorf Castle, Hamburg's only surviving castle, takes visitors

The floating dock - called the "Landungsbrücken" (landing stages) – is 700 metres long. Harbour tours and the HADAG steamers to Finkenwerder, Oevelgönne and Blankenese leave from this water "station". Impressive luxury cruisers also dock here from time to time.

Riverboat church (Flussschifferkirche)

Germany's only floating church of its kind is located in the centre of Hamburg between the old town and the Speicherstadt warehouse district. A place for spiritual offerings and pastoral care on inland waterways, but also a conference venue/event location with the typical maritime flair of Hamburg.

Open air cinemas

The summer attracts everyone back to the fresh air. During the day, the sun invites you to the park, the Alster or the Elbe and mild summer nights offer the opportunity for further outdoor activities in the evening. The perfect time for a relaxing evening in the fresh air and a visit to the open air cinema.
