Traffic Information

Driving your car rental in Hamburg takes you over bridges and along scenic routes by the water. Mönckebergstraße is the main shopping street. Also known as the Mö by locals, it runs between the main train station and the town square and is close to many interesting spots. The main routes into the city are the A1, A7, A23 and A24. The legendary German autobahns can get congested, so you might consider an optional add-on of GPS to help you navigate the traffic and find the best routes. Parking rental cars here can be inexpensive, or even free in some areas. There is free and metered parking in the city center as well as other parking facilities. Always make sure to check the signs and restrictions.

Sixt Tips

Hamburg is one of the 16 federal states in Germany. The earliest mention of the city was in the 2nd century A.D. Since then it has been invaded by Vikings, experienced the Great Fire of 1842 and the North Sea flood of 1962, rebuilding each time. Nestled among three rivers, the Elbe, Alster, and the Bille, Hamburg is home to more than 2,500 bridges. Take a drive across the Köhlbrandbrücke for spectacular views of the harbor and HafenCity, then head to the docks for a closer look. This urban development offers shopping and the new, eye catching Elbphilharmonie building, where you can see a live classical music performance. To experience some of the more recent history of the city, drive along the Reeperbahn. This is where The Beatles made their home in the early 1960s, perfecting their music with almost 300 live performances in two years. You can even create your own gastro driving tour and try traditional foods like fish sandwiches with herring and the Franzbrötchen pastry.

Sightseeing Destinations

There is so much to explore in Hamburg. Getting around the city in your rent a car will give you the flexibility and time to experience as much as possible. Locals and tourists alike flock to the Hamburg DOM, held three times per year. The fun fair is held in the St. Pauli district and features rides, food and attractions. Entry is free and there are fireworks displays on Friday nights. If you are a Beatles fan, you might want to drive to Beatles-Platz in the St. Pauli district, which features statues of the band-members in a plaza designed to look like a record album. There are also more than a few Beatles-themed tours, including one that includes ukulele renditions of their songs.

The Museum Mile in runs from the Kunsthalle at the north end to the Deichtorhallen at the south. The Kunsthalle is made up of the original red brick museum and a newer, modern gallery building. The permanent collection offers a comprehensive view of European art and there are special rotating exhibitions throughout the year. The Deichtorhallen has open steel and glass architecture and exhibits contemporary art and photography. You can buy a pass for the Kunstmeile, which allows you entry to these plus the Bucerus Kunst Forum, Kunstverein, and the Museum for Kunst and Gewerbe.
