Hamburg Airport is only 9km away from the city centre. It is Germany's fifth-busiest airport
Low-cost airlines using Hamburg Airport include Air Berlin, easyJet, Flybe and TUIfly.
The cheapest way to get to the airport is via S-Bahn line S1, which takes 25 minutes with trains running every 10 minutes. The one-way fare is €2.70. If you're coming from the the city centre, you will need to get on at the front section of the train as the train splits en route to the airport with the rear carriages travelling to the Poppenbüttel district.
BUS & COACH
Zentraler Omnibus Bahnhof (ZOB), south of Hauptbahnhof, is the main bus station handling Eurolines, Europabus and Autokraft bus services to destinations in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.

TRAIN
Although Hamburg's main train station is Hauptbahnhof, there are several other major stations which handle InterCity trains with Altona, Dammtor and Harburg Station also handling a lot of rail traffic. Although most trains using these other stations also stop at Hauptbahnhof, it is a good idea to keep Hamburg's other stations in mind when you're checking the timetable.
