Landungsbrücken

St. Pauli Piers

The most touristy part of Hamburg's harbour, close to the metro station with the same name. Piers connected with several bridges swim on the water adapting to the tide. There tourist boats land and you will find souvenir shops, restaurants, and snack bars. The sailing ship Rickmer Rickmers can be visited. The old passenger docks, from which (among many others) many of the emigrants to the Americas from eastern Europe left in the 19th century. Today they are a tourist hotspot, as the departure point for harbour tours and many public transport ferries. The stroll eastwards along the water from the S-Bahn station "Landungsbrücken" all the way to the HafenCity is very pleasant.
