Hamburg Airport

[reb0118]

A large group are heading to Hamburg for a fithtieth. What is the best way to get from the Airport to the Reeperbahn? Our hotel is there (so no dirty thoughts! )! Are there group tickets offering discounts? Most of us will be FIP card holders too.

There are group tickets - http://www.hvv.de/en/tickets/day-tickets/

S-bahn S1 goes from the Airport to the city.

Day ticket is 10.80€ for up to 5 people (Must travel together)

If you catch the S1 into the Hauptbahnhof you can then get the U3 to St Pauli, which is right on the end of the Reeperbahn. Your group ticket will cover that as well. The U-Bahn trip is quite interesting as its mainly on the elevated section (Hochbahn) passing through the harbour area.

on arrival, follow signs to S-Bahn/DB, buy ticket(s) from machine,you need cash €€ for that. depending on group size and If all want to go together all the time. (f.e. if 8 in group- can split between 3-5 or 4-4 or 2-3-3).
The normal tickets are valid from 9.00, mo-fr, till 3.00 next day (incl nite buses) on ALL local transport, train, incl S-bahn, U-bahn=metro, bus, some cross harbour ferries untill city-boundaries. Main exception are the sectors In Hamburg city for long distance trains (ICE etc.).
You can upgrade the daytickets for use 1st cl and ''schnellbus== express bus (runs to some outer areas not well covered by rail), for the average tourist thats not needed. You can also buy more expensive tickets to cover larger areas, out of town. All are for 1 or 5 persons.
IN the HBF are 2 info-offices, dispensing maps and general info etc.
There is also the HAMBURG Ticket/pass, for sale from tourist info, that includes this daytikcet (basic) and entry or discount to some tourist attractions.

remember, a 9-Uhr ticket is valid from 9am, it is not valid for 9 hours (as some expats seem to think)
