Hamburg is Germany's second most populous metropolis. It lies on the Elbe River, near its confluence with the North Sea. The city has Germany's largest seaport and a rich merchant pedigree. Despite the destruction from the end of World War II, traces of history and many tourist attractions can still be found there. Among the largest of these is St. Nicholas Church, which is a memorial to World War II victims.
After the carpet raids in 1943, only the tower and part of the walls remained of its building, which they decided to leave behind, forgoing reconstruction. Other important sights in Hamburg are St. Michael's Church with its distinctive tall clock tower and the popular Granary Quarter with its Miniature Wunderland, several interesting museums and the impressive Elbphilharmonie. While in Hamburg, it is worth taking a cruise to admire this diverse city from water level as well.
Hamburg is one of the largest transport hubs in Germany. It has access to four highways, is a major rail hub and an important point on the route towards Scandinavia. The city has an international airport located about 8 kilometers northwest of its center. It will be most convenient to get there by plane, or take a bus to Hamburg. Our buses stop at the Central Bus Station (Hauptbahnhof). If you're interested in the diverse, multifaceted city that is Hamburg - a bus will be a good means of transportation because of its competitive price, convenience and low carbon footprint per passenger.
The historic center of the city and its major attractions are spread out over a fairly wide area. So it may be a good idea to use public transportation when visiting it. This will save a lot of time and take a bit of pressure off your legs. You can choose from Hamburg buses, the city's underground and above-ground railroads, as well as water streetcars, which are well-loved by tourists.
In Elk you will find two city beaches, both of them sandy, although in truth it will probably be difficult to find even a meter of free space in high season anyway. There is also a sizable park, several children's playgrounds and a bunch of playrooms. Elk also has an interesting museum, offering, among other things, a ride on a narrow-gauge train.
To get from or to Elk, you can use, for example, a bus. Sinbad coaches leave from Elk's PKS station, which is located right next to the railroad station. Therefore, if you happen to be going to Elk by train, but then want to change to another means of transport, the change itself will not take more than a few minutes.
In our opinion, however, it is worth reaching Elk by bus, because trains in high season can be overloaded with people heading to the Baltic cities.
The bus station in Elk, despite the fact that Google shows that it does not exist, still serves our buses. It may not be as impressive now as the Elk railroad station, but nevertheless our buses go to and from Elk from station one.
