City Transport
☆ Public Transport HVV☆
Good app (ticket storage and information on connections). Hamburg has a well-developed public transport system. Buses run around the clock. At night, a special “Nachtbus” (night bus) service connects the outlying districts and the city center. The S-Bahn (overground) and U-Bahn (metro/underground) train services run approximately from 05:00 until 01:00 in the central city, but there is often no service past 23:00 in outlying districts. On weekends, they run all night.
There are also six ferry services operating in the harbour and along the River Elbe as part of the regular public transport system (tip if you have time or stay longer: take ferry line 62 from “Landungsbrücken” to “Finkenwerder” and back to enjoy a scenic trip through the harbour on a day ticket – the whole ride to Finkenwerder and back takes about an hour).
☆ Taxi ☆
There is a good supply of taxis in Hamburg 24 hours a day, both at taxi stands and on the street. If no taxi is available on the street, we recommend calling one of the numbers below. The meter usually starts at around EUR 5–6. A short ride in the city usually costs around EUR 10–20; from the city centre to the airport you can expect roughly EUR 30–40. Please note that actual prices depend on distance, traffic and time of day.

The city offers a bike rental service called “StadtRad”. To use this service, you must register on the StadtRad website and create an account with a credit card (there is a one-time registration fee, which is credited to your account). You can then go to any of the terminals and use one of their bikes. The first 30 minutes of each ride are free; after that, you pay a per‑minute rate, with a daily maximum depending on the tariff. Note that you can even take two bicycles at the same time with just one account.
There are multiple bike rental options: Zweiradperle Hamburg – Central bike rental between the main station and HafenCity, just a few minutes from the historic Speicherstadt.

☆ Moia ☆
MOIA is a ride-sharing service. You can use it by downloading the app. You enter the desired pick-up and destination and the MOIA vehicle arrives at a virtual stop no more than 250 meters away. The app navigates you directly to where the vehicle will stop and the service will likely cost less than a taxi. There are Classic and Express options.
☆ Car-Sharing ☆
Free2move is a car-sharing service. Once registered, cars can be booked and paid for via the app, and you can pick them up and drop them off anywhere within the designated home area. You can register for free by uploading your driver’s license. You only need an email address and a smartphone (iOS or Android).
