Quickly to the heart of Hamburg
The port city of Hamburg is reminiscent of Amsterdam with its many bridges and water. A walk through the Speicherstadt comes highly recommended. This neighbourhood is a complex of warehouses spread over small islands on the river Elbe. Via the underground St. Pauli-Elb tunnel, you can cycle or walk from the centre to the harbour to admire the skyline. There's plenty of choice for culture lovers: the city has an impressive opera house, Kunsthal, and other museums.
With the international train Intercity Berlin, you can travel from Amsterdam Central Station and just change trains once to get to Hamburg. During your trip you will have all you need to have a pleasant journey and relax in a comfortable chair.
