Exploring the Historic Alter Elbtunnel in Hamburg

Getting There

• Public Transport - U-Bahn

  If you are near the Hamburg city center, make your way to the nearest U-Bahn station. Take the U3 line (green line) towards 'Barmbek' and get off at 'Landungsbrücken' station. This journey takes about 10 minutes. Once you exit the station, follow the signs to 'St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken'. The Alter Elbtunnel is located a short walk away, right by the waterfront.

• Public Transport - Bus

  You can also take a bus to reach the Alter Elbtunnel. Look for bus lines 112 or 600, which stop near Landungsbrücken. Board the bus and travel until you reach 'Landungsbrücken' (St. Pauli). From the bus stop, it's a short walk to the Alter Elbtunnel's entrance located at 'Bei den St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken'.

• Walking

  If you're already in the vicinity of the Elbe River, you can simply walk to the Alter Elbtunnel. Head towards the riverfront area near 'St. Pauli-Landungsbrücken'. Look for the signs directing you to the tunnel entrance. The walk offers beautiful views of the harbor and takes you directly to the historical landmark.

• Ferry

  For a unique approach, consider taking a ferry. You can catch the 'Ferry 62' from the Landungsbrücken ferry terminal. This ferry takes you across the Elbe River and provides stunning views of the port area. Disembark at the 'Finkenwerder' stop, and from there, it's a 15-minute walk back to the Alter Elbtunnel. Follow the riverside paths for a scenic route.
