"Out at the Landungsbrücken, this picture deserves applause," is a line from a song by the Hamburg cult band Kettcar. And the tuff stone structure between Niederhafen, Reeperbahn and Fischmarkt on the Elbe is indeed impressive. The building complex was once a mooring point for steamships, but today the S-Bahn and U-Bahn stop at the station of the same name. In addition, numerous boats for harbor tours and catamarans to Heligoland depart from the Landungsbrücken. With the HADAG ferry 62, amateur sailors can sail out the Elbe with a normal HVV ticket, and visitors to the musicals in the musical theaters on the Elbe can cross from the Landungsbrücken to the other bank of the Elbe. There is a lot for tourists to discover along the Landungsbrücken. Anyone who decides on a trip lasting several days and is looking for a hotel near the Elbe can benefit from the rail hit. Arrival and departure without a car, hotels in great locations and with the Hamburg CARD for a wide range of activities on site. Two towers with distinctive green domes characterize the 205-meter-long terminal building at the Landungsbrücken. It was built by the architects Raabe & Wöhlecke with numerous passageways to the piers, and the architectural sculptures are by Arthur Bock. One of the towers not only tells you the time, but also the water level of the Norderelbe. The bell rings on the hour and half hour. The building has been a listed building since September 15, 2003. The Old Elbe Tunnel and the museum ships Rickmer Rickmers and Cap San Diego are also located at the Port of Hamburg. Numerous restaurants and tourist shops also invite you to linger, as both container ships and cruise ships can be easily observed along the water's edge. In recent decades, the Landungsbrücken have also developed into one of Hamburg's most popular promenades. A walk through the Speicherstadt and the HafenCity including the Elbphilharmonie is recommended in good weather, and a round trip on the elevated railway ring line U3 is recommended in bad weather.
