How to make optimum use of the Hamburg Card

Big savings are possible with a harbour cruise. Several providers accept the Hamburg Card and offer up to 20% discount.
Use public transport regularly to explore the city! Travel free of charge on buses, the underground, S-Bahn and harbour ferries.
Start your journey in the morning, because the Hamburg Card is valid for up to five calendar days from 0:00 in the morning until 06:00 on the following day (no 24-hour units).
Visit sights and museums that don't take up much time. The more time you have available, the more attractions you can visit.
The Hamburg Card for groups is worthwhile for two or more adults. The group ticket is valid for up to five people and is a very attractive offer.
For families, both the individual tickets, which allow three children under the age of 15 to travel with you, and the group tickets (for five people, regardless of age) are suitable.
