Discover Hamburg

Experience Hamburg

whether Kiez, Schanze, St. Pauli or Alster

100 hotels with approx. 4,000 beds are located within walking distance of the exhibition centre in the middle of the city.

Every year, more and more tourists and business travellers from Germany and abroad are attracted to the lively, varied city on the Elbe and Alster rivers. Exhibitors and visitors or participants also benefit from this, because the trade fair and congress city of Hamburg has a lot to offer: world-famous musicals, the Hafencity, the Elbphilharmonie, the Speicherstadt, the Miniature Wonderland and much more.

In addition, there is a wide range of leisure facilities: stylish bars, cosy pubs, excellent restaurants, luxurious shopping miles and the world-famous Reeperbahn invite you to do some after-work after the end of the fair or after your conference. First work, then party - all in the middle of the city.

Leisure ac­ti­vi­ties

Through the night

 

Leaving the South Entrance to Hamburg Messe you literally step into one of Hamburg’s hottest locations: the Caroline Quarter, part of the „Schanze“, a district filled with trendy fashion boutiques, cosy cafes, as well as hip bars and restaurants. Its neighbour-district Sankt Pauli is home to the world famous Reeperbahn. This so called „Kiez“ of Hamburg bursts with clubs and entertainment establishments from theaters to table dance.

At five o’clock on Sunday mornings, early risers and party people from the Reeperbahn meet at the Hamburg fish market to enjoy the vociferous show performances of the eccentric fish sellers. After a breakfast at the fish market, the crowd moves a bit down the Elbe River coast to the Strandperle of Övelgönne, one of the most popular meeting points on Hamburg’s beautiful city beach – a place to fall in love with Hamburg.

Attractions in Hamburg

Elbphilharmonie

 

Inaugurated in January 2017, the magnificent construction is considered to be the new landmark of the city. Sitting enthroned on a former storage building, the Elbphilharmonie marks the western tip of the HafenCity and attracts worldwide attention among music and architecture enthusiasts. Underneath its glass facade and wave-like rooftop it comprises two concert halls, a luxurious hotel and luxurious residential apartments.

The Elbphilharmonie Plaza, a public area that extends around the whole building, serves as a junction between the old warehouse and the glass structure. At 37 meters above sea level, visitors of the Plaza enjoy a breathtaking 360° view of the city and the harbour. If your schedule allows some time for sightseeing, the Elbphilharmonie should rank in first place.
