What the Hamburg CARD unlocks
The Hamburg CARD is the city's official tourist card. It combines unlimited travel on the entire HVV public transport network (zones AB - more on the Public Transport page) with discounts at over 150 partners: museums, sights, harbour and Alster boat tours, restaurants and more. Unlike the Hamburg City Pass, the card does not include free admission - instead you pay a reduced price on the spot.

The top highlights
The Speicherstadt is the world's largest contiguous warehouse district and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you will find Miniatur Wunderland, the Speicherstadtmuseum and the International Maritime Museum - many of them discounted with the Hamburg CARD.
The Hamburger Kunsthalle houses one of Germany's most important art collections, famous for Caspar David Friedrich's "Wanderer above the Sea of Fog". The main harbour cruises through Europe's third-largest port depart from the St. Pauli Landungsbrucken; with the card you save up to 28% on harbour and Alster boat tours.

Food, bikes and more
With the optional Schlemmergluck upgrade you save up to 20% at over 100 restaurants, cafes and bars. The Hafenliebe upgrade bundles a harbour cruise and the museum ship Rickmer Rickmers at a combined price. For getting around, there are discounts on StadtRAD Hamburg bike hire, Europcar and free2move - and even the Halunder Jet ferry to the island of Heligoland is discounted with the card.
Free even without the card, but easy to reach with the included public transport: the Planten un Blomen park with its water light concerts.
Is it worth it?
Just a few visits plus daily public transport rides make the card cheaper than buying individual tickets. Combine a harbour cruise with a museum visit and a musical in the evening, for example, and the discounts recover the card price in a single day. Which duration pays off is covered on the Prices page.
In total, over 150 partners across Hamburg take part. Discount levels and availability can vary by partner - you will find current conditions in the "Hamburg - Erleben & Sparen" app and with each provider.
