By airplane

Hamburg Fuhlsbüttel is an important German airport with direct flights to many European capitals. You reach the city centre in 35 minutes by public transportation: Bus Nr. 110 every 10 minutes to the nearest subway station "Ohlsdorf"). The blue line U1 is a onvenient connection to the hotel area, get out at stop "Stephansplatz". A taxi from the airport will cost around € 15,-. All of them use standard taxameters. Additionally, there is a direct bus ("Airport Express") every 15 minutes from the airport to Central Station.

Some unexpensive air carriers use the small airport "Lübeck Blankensee" and call it "Hamburg-Lübeck", which is a bit misleading, but maybe it is a good choice for you, because a bus is waiting outside for every flight to collect all passengers and will bring you to Hamburg Central Station within less than 90 minutes (€ 7,-). You can't miss your bus connection in this small airport. (at present conections from/to Gdansk, London-Stansted, Bergamo, Stockholm (Skavsta), Pisa, Dublin)
