Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Coming from Hamburg Airport
The closest S-bahn(metro) to our place is Altona station.
Every S-bahn starting from Hamburg Airport arrives at Altona station.
The line is called S1.
Verkehrsmittel
Going to Hamburg Airport
Take S-Bahn S1 to in the direction to Hamburg Airport.
***Stay at one of the first 3 wagons*** because the Bahn splits right before the airport, the last 3 goes somewhere else.
The airport is the last stop.
If you took the wrong wagon, get out at the next stop, take S1 in direction to Wedel, get out at Ohlsdorf, look for the next Bahn going to the airport.
