Neighbourhood
We live in a nice and leafy area of Hamburg between picturesque Blankenese and lively Ottensen, 3.5km from the Elbe River with its beaches and a ferry station. It is possible to walk or bike down to the river - your path can almost always lead you through parks. A large shopping center and a bus stop serving many lines are only 500 meters away. The subway station (2 km away) can be reached by bus or bike, and trains leave for the city center every five to ten minutes. It is 8 minutes to Ottensen, a bustling neighborhood with many small stores, restaurants and bars, 15 minutes to Landungsbrücken (the entrance to the harbor, one of the largest in the world), and 20 minutes to the main train station. If you prefer to cycle to the center, it is a nice ride along the river (10 km). 200m behind our house is a park for a quick morning run or evening stroll.
Hamburg, as the second largest city in Germany (1.9 million people live here), is a great place for all kinds of cultural activities. What we also enjoy is the variety of outdoor activities it offers. The Elbe River divides Hamburg into a northern and a southern part, and right in the middle lays the river Alster, more than 800 years ago dammed into a lake. Whenever the sun comes out, people go for a walk, skate, run or bike along the Elbe, the Alster or in one of the many parks, or they engage in water sports like sailing, kayaking or standup paddling.
Nearest airport
Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel (HAM) is our nearest airport, 20 kilometers away from our house. A direct metro line (S1) runs from the airport to our station (Klein Flottbek) within 50 minutes. You will need 20 minutes to drive home from the Airport.
But you can also look to Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf or Frankfurt Int. airports to check for lower prices, as it is easy and often cheap to take the train from there to Hamburg.
Getting Around
If you plan trips to the seaside - beaches of the Baltic Sea or the North Sea (including the Unesco World Heritage Wadden Sea) can be reached in 1-2 hours. The German-Danish border is 1,5 hours away and within two hours by train you'll be able to visit Berlin.
Beautiful cities like Lüneburg, Lübeck, Bremen or Stade are 40 to 60 minutes away by car or regional trains.
