Getting around in Hamburg

The Basics

Your public transportation ticket will be placed on your conference badge. Therefore, always have it with you, and don’t loose it!!! ;-)

Public transportation in Hamburg consists of trains (marked by the letter S e.g. S1, S2 etc.), subways ( U1, U2 etc) and busses.

You can find all the connections here: http://www.hvv.de/en/index.php
