2 hour tour of the Alster + canals for 19 euro! Plus on-board English audio guide! And a waitress…read moreto serve you whatever you want to drink! The boat is fairly comfortable, the driver was very nice and the German part of his tour that I could understand was funny and informative. The audio guide was good for English, French, Spanish, and a dialect of Chinese. A map was also included in the mini-computer which was fun to look at. The tour itself is really interesting and this part of Hamburg is beautiful. I found this boat tour to be more interesting than the harbor tour. Buy tickets at the booth before you get down to the boats!

I came all this way to see more American b.s.? For the record, there are 3 Starbucks within a block of my house so I could be a little biased.

Best way to sight see around the alster? - rent a pedal boat from this place!…read more They offer really nice pedal boats that look like actual boats versus the usual plastic and weird pedal boats we have seen before. The boats are super easy to navigate with the steering wheel and quite comfortably fits two people. The seats are easily adjustable so if you are super tall or super short you will be fine. The first time I got a pedal boat I did not know if this added feature! I would recommend getting the boat for about an hour at least so you can enjoy and take in the amazing view! The prices are reasonable! They even offer lockers for you to put your stuff in free of charge if you do not want to risk them getting wet. Definitely put this at the top of your list if you are visiting or even if you live in hamburg.

8 euros for 30 min of boat paddling fun!…read more Great value for paddleboating and you can go pretty far out on the lake. They do close at 9pm on Saturday though. There is also a great bar right next door to layout with a warm (or cold) drink and blanket to watch the sunset. Super cute date spot!
