I can highly recommend a boat trip on the Außenalster starting in the Binnenalster (look Binnenalster up on Tripadvisor). Captains are informative and entertaining guides which will leave you wiser and a few laughs richer. Really, a beautiful trip and perfect leisure time with a cool-down factor during summer.

This lake in the middle of the city is amazing. There are parks and walking trails and floating cafes.

While walking anywhere in the city,... More

It is so hard to believe that this beautiful lake is smacked bang in the middle of a busy city. It was not too far from our hotel and we spent the entire morning walking, sitting on benches to watch the world go by, and sitting in a couple of cafes (ideal time for toilet stops too). The walk also... More

Anice walk along the lake on a sunny day. Gets you away from most of the hustle and busle of a busy city. Except on a sunny Sunday that is!

No matter what time of year - Hamburg visitors (and residents) should always try and walk round it: so many different views, so many different moods. And quite a few cafés on the way to freshen up. Walking round it takes about 2 hours - or don your runners and do the round in 40 minutes.

Walk around the Aussenalster along the water and share the beautiful views on the typical white villas, their gardens, the rowers on the Alster and the joggers on the park trails.

Great spot for walking, jogging and enjoying the nicest neighborhoods in Hamburg. There are also plenty of bars & cafés to stop for a quick coffee or beer, if you wish.
