The sun is shining, the temperatures are rising and that can only mean one thing in Hamburg: Get outside! I think there is hardly any other major German city where the summer is nicer than in Hamburg. If you still feel like escaping the hustle and bustle of the big city for one or the other summer excursion, you will find my top 7 from the “Hamburg Summer Excursions” category here.
On the other side of the Elbe: Finkenwerder outdoor pool
Taking the ferry (line 62) from the Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerder is the first highlight of the summer excursion into the cool blue water. Either by bike or on foot from the jetty to the outdoor pool makes the cool refreshment perfect for the first dip in the pool. The obligatory red and white fries are available in the kiosk – together with the outdoor pool classics, sweet bags, ice cream and coffee. The view from the pool to the passing ships on the Elbe guarantees that a visit to the outdoor pool will not only be a real summer classic, but also a cool, uncomplicated and yet extraordinary day!
Directions: With the HVV ferry 62 from the Landungsbrücken to the Finkenwerder pier. From there you walk about 8 minutes to the outdoor pool. Or by car/bike to here.
