Free travel on the public transport system to Hamburgs attractions

The HVV takes you comfortably to all the attractions included in the Hamburg City Pass. You can use Hamburg's metros, suburban trains, busses, express buses and harbor ferries without limits. Enjoy the view from "above", because most of the underground trains in Hamburg do not run underground, but mostly on piles. You will be treated to great views during your journey. You will find more detailed information on how to get to the sights by bus and train in the attachment content to your City Pass.

Area of validity of your Hamburg public transport ticket
