Stadtpark Hamburg

The Hamburg Stadtpark with its more than 150 hectares is a real "multicultural location". On beautiful weekends, sometimes more than 200,000 people come here to enjoy sports, have a nice barbecue, make or listen to some music or simply relax.
In summer, the Stadtparksee becomes an open-air swimming pool - and apart from that, you can also enjoy pedal and rowing boats.

The planetarium in the former water tower is also always worth a visit: in addition to a unique journey through the universe, it regularly offers wonderful children's documentaries and chill out evenings.

The groves, bushes and embankments are home to a multitude of native and immigrated animal and plant species, and in summer the open-air stage invites you to interesting open-air concerts: from rock to folk, world-famous artists always like to come to "the park". In and around the Stadtpark there are of course also cafés and restaurants that await guests with snacks and delicacies. Very popular for evening events is the beer garden "Schumachers", which is located directly at the Stadtparksee outdoor pool. Further locations for relaxing are the beer garden "Landhaus Walter", "Café Sommerterrassen" and "Die Bucht".

Oasis in the city. Außenalster

The Alster divides into the Binnen- and Außenalster at the Lombardsbrücke bridge. The Außenalster in particular offers excellent recreational opportunities with its numerous parks and adjacent sports facilities. The banks of the Alster in Harvestehude, Uhlenhorst and Winterhude are the preferred living quarters of the wealthy Hamburg residents.
