Transport

A taxi ride to any of the recommended hotels (see below) takes approximately 30 minutes under normal traffic conditions (outside of peak hours).

The hotels are also on regular bus and metro routes.

The rapid transit “S-Bahn” Line S1 takes you from the Hamburg Airport/Flughafen Hamburg to the City Center (Stop: Hamburg-Hauptbahnhof – abbrev. Hamburg Hbf) – Hamburg-Central Station in English in 25 minutes.

  • Fares: EUR 3.80 (one-way ticket). Please check HVV tickets for more ticket options.
  • Validation: The date and time of purchase are stated on hvv tickets. They are already validated and do not have to be stamped again on board the train.
  • Tickets: At the airport, tickets are available from the machines at the baggage carousels in the Arrivals area or between the Arrivals level and the train platform or at the Hamburg Welcome Center on the Arrivals level of Terminal 2.
  • Turning S1 into two: Passengers have to pay attention on the platform: if you are travelling from the city center to the airport, board one of the first three cars, because the S1 trains split up at Ohlsdorf. The front section of the train runs to the airport, the last three cars go to Poppenbüttel.
  • Intervals: S1 trains depart every 10 minutes between 6.00 and 23.00 h and at 20-minute intervals at other times. The first S-Bahn train reaches the airport as early as 4.28 h and the last train to the city centre does not depart until 0.14 h.
