Arriving by plane
60 airlines fly direct from Hamburg to 120 destinations around the world. Between 6 a.m. and 11 p.m., an average of 420 aircrafts take off and land at Hamburg Airport every day, and more than 15 million passengers pass through Hamburg Airport every year. The airport is situated only 8.5 kilometres from Hamburg’s city centre and is connected to the city’s comprehensive public transport network via S-Bahn.

Arriving by car
Mobility has always played a major role in the region, and Hamburg is embedded in a close-knit network of state roads. Germany’s longest motorway, the A7, runs from north to south, while the A1 runs from the Baltic Sea to the Saarland region, and Hamburg is connected to Berlin via the A24 and to Schleswig-Holstein via the A23. In the coming years, the motorway network in the Hamburg Metropolitan Region will be further expanded to the tune of some 2.5 billion euro.

Arriving by rail
Hamburg is also easily accessible for all those arriving by train from other parts of Germany or Europe, and Berlin is less than two hours away by rail. The city alone has four long-distance train stations. Hamburg’s main rail hub is the central train station, which was opened in 1906. Anyone organising a meeting or a congress in Hamburg can benefit from Deutsche Bahn’s Veranstaltungsticket, which offers the best value for money to congress participants.

Local public transport: getting around Hamburg by bus, S-Bahn and port ferry
The HVV KombiTicket for meetings, conventions and seminars allows participants to comfortably commute between their event location and their hotel at reasonable rates – and to include a short boat trip with one of the HADAG port ferries. Another option is the Hamburg CARD, which not only provides free travel by bus, S-Bahn and port ferry, but also reduced admission to more than 150 tourist attractions.
