Hamburg Bus & Boat Tour

You can also explore St. Pauli, the neighborhood where the Beatles began their career, now a fashionable area of the city. Note: the bus does not currently stop at Hafencity (Marco Polo Terrassen) or Gänsemarkt due to construction work.

Your boat ride along the Elbe River starts from the pier in St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, lasting one hour and allowing you to appreciate this modern metropolis with one of Europe's important ports.
