Traveler reviews
Urang Bandung
★★★★★2 months agoThis is a must-visit spot after walking through the Alte Elbtunnel. From here, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Landungsbrücken from the southern side, namely Steinwerder, offering a truly stunning perspective. My favorite time to visit is in the late afternoon before sunset, when the orange light reflects beautifully on the water’s surface. I also really enjoy watching the various ships and boats passing along the Elbe throughout the evening.

★★★★★a year agoI had a fantastic experience walking through the Old Elbtunnel! It only takes about 10 minutes to walk from one side to the other, and the views when you reach the other side are really cool. The tunnel itself has a unique charm. Best of all, it's completely free! Highly recommended for anyone visiting Hamburg.
