Hamburg
Two-day Hamburg city break by rail from Switzerland.
Hamburg, operated as a two-day package by Railtour Suisse, is a port city in northern Germany reachable by rail. The trip includes one night's accommodation and rail transport, making it a short urban break for travellers departing from Switzerland. Hamburg presents itself as a green metropolis on the water, crossed by more bridges than Venice. The city centre contains the Speicherstadt, a 1,500-metre historic waterfront district that served as a free trade zone in the late 1800s. The Elbphilharmonie concert hall, completed in 2017, anchors the modern harbour. Over 50 museums line the art mile near the main railway station, including the Hamburger Kunsthalle and the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe. Planten un Blomen, a 45-hectare landscaped park, offers themed gardens and illuminated water features on its central lake during summer months. Evening entertainment ranges from theatre and concerts to the nightlife of St. Pauli and the Schanzenviertel neighbourhood. This package suits couples, first-time rail travellers, and independent explorers seeking a short cultural city break.
