09:30
Walk the quiet paths of the Alter Botanischer Garten. The greenhouses open at 10:00 on weekends, but the outdoor garden landscape is open and peaceful earlier. Enjoy the stillness of the old botanical grounds.

Head to Nasch for a light lunch or snack. It opens at 09:30, so you can grab a bite right after your walk. The hours are 09:30 to 18:00 daily.
10:45
Walk nine minutes from the park center to the Heinrich-Hertz-Turm viewpoint. Climb up for a panoramic view of Hamburg’s skyline and the harbor. It is a short, steep walk but worth the effort for the perspective.
