Bicycle tour through the "other" Hamburg (min.4)

Cycle through the neighborhoods of fine society as well as the neighborhoods where drugs, prostitution, but also the autonomous scene or artists' quarters can be found. We cycle towards the Sternschanze, cross the historic district symbolically for grassroots democratic living, Schröderstift, the Sternschanzenpark and then drive through the actual Schanzen district with its diverse alternative cultural offerings. We then drive on the St. Pauli harbor road through the Portuguese quarter to the new town. We reach the office buildings from the 1920s, such as the Chilehaus. Then continue cycling to St. Georg: there are no greater contrasts of multicultural life here in any other district. The path leads us to the Inner Alster, Kennedy Bridge, city panorama, Lombards Bridge with its fine rowing clubs and consulates, and finally back to the bike station.

1 hour Alster! Exclusive ride in original Venetian gondola

The floating haven of peace on the Alster. An old but well-maintained gondola from Venice and flagship of the Azzurro e.V. rowing club in Hamburg; freshly inspected by a ship expert and approved by the Waterways Authority... The Venetians' floating Rolls Royce has been at home in Hamburg, the Venice of the North, for many years and is often rowed at a sporty pace by up to 4 rowers in the club. We finance part of the maintenance costs, the berth rental and, if it is enough, part of the travel costs for participation in regattas in Italy through guest trips. Your gondolier Carlo was trained in Venice, has been allowed to drive the gondola on the Grand Canal there since 2009, has been the first to cross the finish line at regattas since 2021 and likes to talk about gondolas, Hamburg and Venice. There is no fixed route because the weather and traffic situation on the water must be taken into account. Take a seat on the soft cushions and enjoy!
