Top 7 reasons why you should experience Hamburg by bike

1. You are faster than you think

Especially in the city center, you often need less time by bike than by car or public transport. No need to search for a parking space, no need to change trains – just hop on and start cycling. Especially during rush hour, you'll be the most relaxed person on two wheels.

2. You see more of the city

By bike, you'll reach places you'd never otherwise discover: small alleys, hidden cafés, the view over the Alster at sunset. You're in the thick of things instead of just being there – and you can stop whenever you like something.

3. Good for you, good for the climate

It sounds like a city council poster, but it's true: You're exercising in the fresh air, doing something good for your body—and saving CO₂ in the process. It couldn't be more environmentally friendly.

4. Flexible like nothing else

Want to spontaneously visit the fish market? Or perhaps a quick trip down to the Elbe? With a bike, you don't have to check timetables or push through crowds. You decide where to go – and when.

5. Hamburg is (mostly) flat

Sure, St. Michael's Church is a hill – but otherwise, Hamburg is a fairly flat city. That means no steep inclines, just a relaxed glide. Even if you're not athletic, cycling here is a lot of fun.

6. You save money

A rental bike often costs less than a day ticket for buses and trains – and significantly less than a taxi or rental car. It's totally worth it, especially if you plan to make multiple stops.

7. It's just fun

Wind in your hair, sun on your face (well, at least sometimes 😄) – cycling in Hamburg puts you in a good mood. Whether alone, with friends, or family, it simply feels good to experience the city like this.
