The Hamburg tourist bus route has 15 stops at the most important locations around the city. Once you buy your ticket, you can get on and off wherever and whenever you want.

You'll visit most of the landmarks around the Elbe River including the City Hall, a majestic baroque building located in the heart of Hamburg. Another key point is Hafencity, an area in front of the port that could be one of the largest urban construction projects in Europe in the 21st century.

You can also get off to explore St. Pauli, the world-famous neighbourhood where the Beatles started their international career, now one of the most fashionable areas of the city.

While on the Hamburger Sightseeing Bus you can visit many more symbolic sites. Check the route with the following link:
