The Red Double-Deckers

City Tours

The Alster, Jungfernstieg, St Michaelis church: see what Hamburg has to offer by taking the city tour on classic busses. You can simply get on and off wherever you feel like.

The sightseeing tour can be started or interrupted at any of the 20 stops. The day ticket allows Hamburg visitors to use the buses all day long and to get on, off or change buses at the most popular sights in order to discover Hamburg for themselves. The tours of the city tour line A are moderated live in German by certified tour guides. In addition, a GPS-controlled audio system offers 11 languages via headsets: German, English, French, Russian, Italian, Spanish, Portugese, Danish, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic.

Combiticket City and Harbour Tour

If you want to explore the whole of Hamburg, you also have to get on the water! The Red Double Deckers therefore offer combined tours that include a one-hour harbour tour in addition to the day ticket for the Hop-On-Hop-Off Tour. Or  you buy the Discoverer Ticket, which combines the city tour with a harbour and Alster tour. Other offers such as the Elbe Bank Tour or the Hamburg Light Tour also offer Hamburg connoisseurs exciting new aspects.

Line A: Hop on - hop off!

Get on, off or change trains at 20 stops and explore Hamburg individually! Let the wonderful views of the metropolis pass you by on this Line A. There is a lot to see on the way: the pulsating HafenCity with the Elbphilharmonie, the traditional Speicherstadt, the St. Pauli Reeperbahn, the Alster, St. Michael's Church, the city centre and the gateway to the world – the harbour. Wherever you like, just get off, your ticket is valid for the whole day. The red double-deckers are open when the weather is fine and therefore offer the best all-round view.
