Local transport with the Hamburg Card

Discover Hamburg with the Hamburg Card: Unlimited journeys on public transport for up to five days. Use the underground, S-Bahn, buses and ferries.

The Hamburg Card is not just a discount card - it is also your key to unlimited mobility throughout the city. If you want to discover Hamburg flexibly, easily and cheaply by bus, train and ferry, you will particularly benefit from the included public transport offer.

We'll show you how you can use public transport for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 days with the Hamburg Card.

Which means of transport are included?

With the Hamburg Card you can use all public transport in the HVV area AB:

  • Underground & S-Bahn - including connection to/from the airport (S1)
  • Buses & MetroBuses - day and night (night buses included)
  • Regional trains (RB, RE) - in the greater Hamburg area
  • Harbour ferries (HADAG ferries) - e.g. line 62 to the Landungsbrücken and the fish market

The card is valid all day from 0:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. the following day - without time restrictions and without validation.

Which routes are covered?

The AB area of validity includes the entire Hamburg city area:

  • Hamburg Airport
  • Hamburg Central Station & Altona
  • Landing stages & harbour
  • Elbphilharmonie

The Hamburg Card is available in two versions:

  • Single card: This is valid for one adult and up to three children (6-14 years)

Tip: harbour ferries are included

Particularly attractive for tourists: the harbour ferries are included in the ticket. This turns a relaxed trip on the Elbe into an inexpensive harbour tour - at no extra charge.

The ferries are operated by the company HADAG. HADAG operates seven routes in Hamburg.

The ferries take you to interesting destinations such as the Elbphilharmonie concert hall, the Landungsbrücken and the fish market.
