ST. PAULI PIERS

Description

Essentials about the St. Pauli Piers in brief

The St. Pauli Piers (Landungsbrücken) are, so to speak, the water station of Hamburg and thus the most important access point to the river Elbe and to the Port of Hamburg. Here harbor cruises depart and local ferries land. The striking building is one of the landmarks of the Hanseatic city.

The St. Pauli Piers as a water station

Already in the middle of the 19th century the first pier was built here. Nowadays, however, no more steam boats and transport ships head to the piers. Today, The cruises through the Port of Hamburg and public ferries as well as the ships to Helgoland depart from here. Musical visitors can also take the ferry from the St. Pauli Piers to the two musical theaters on the other side of the Elbe. If you don’t feel like doing a boat trip, you can of course stay ashore and treat yourself to a fish sandwich at one of the many snack bars on the pontoons.
