Hamburg Aeropuerto Transporte privado y de enlace

If you are flying to Hamburg, you are very lucky because the airport is very close to the city. They are only about 10 kilometers (6 miles) away, so your journey to the city center should not be too long.

You will also be glad to know that the layout of the airport is rather simple – two Terminals are connected by the Airport Plaza. And bus stops are right outside the Plaza, at level 0 (ground level). So, let’s see how to get to the city by shuttle.

As in many other European cities, the Hamburg public transport network is extensive and well connected. You can take a few shuttle lines from the airport, depending on where you want to go:

• 292 - route Langenhorn - U-Ochsenzoll, Lufthansa Basis und U-Lattenkamp
• 23 - route U-Niendorf-Markt und Billstedt
• 114 - route Groß Borstel - Eppendorfer Baum - Klosterstern
• 34 - (Express Bus) Eppendorf - Rotherbaum - City – Wilhelmsburg

Lines 34 and 114 depart from Lufthansa Technik, which is located in the western part of the airport. To get here, take the airport shuttle which departs every 10 minutes from the P9 parking.

Departures are roughly every 10 to 20 minutes, and your ride to the city center will take about half an hour.

NOTE: Service is reduced during the night, weekends, and holidays.

Shuttle transportation’s greatest advantage is that it’s budget-friendly. The vehicles are modern, low-floor, which is convenient when carrying suitcases. However, don’t forget the downsides:

• Figuring out the timetables, schedules, bus stops
• The trip is taking longer than necessary
• Lack of flexibility – your journey is depending on the shuttle schedule
• Language barriers
• Lack of comfort – hauling the luggage, crowded buses

So, what is your alternative? Take a private transfer. It is a service that you book online before traveling. You get to pick the preferred vehicle and make any special requests (child seat, extra stop, larger vehicle, etc.).

So, on your arrival at Hamburg Airport, you are all set and you do not have to think or worry about a thing! Your driver is waiting for you at the Arrivals, holding a name board with your name on it. How lovely! He is a smartly dressed, English-speaking professional who already knows your destination address.

He takes you to your car, helps with your luggage, and you are on your way. Sit back, and enjoy the pleasant ride. Private transfers are a favorite means of travel among the passengers, as you are getting top service at an affordable rate. You get privacy, comfort, flexibility, freedom. And you will be onto a great start of your Hamburg adventure!
