Hamburg is one of the largest and most significant cities, both Germany and Europe. There are no problems here, there are many options: some of them are more comfortable, some are more bidder.
Aviation message
Unfortunately, direct flights to Hamburg have only from Moscow, from where Aeroflot and Lufthansa and St. Petersburg, from St. Petersburg, flights from St. Petersburg, flights to airlines. But with the help of connecting flights carried out by various air carriers, you can get to Hamburg and from the Russian regions. For example, through Prague, on Czech airlines flying from Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Perm, Ufa, Yekaterinburg and Samara. Or through Frankfurt am Main on Lufthansa also from Samara and Nizhny Novgorod. Also good options and prices offer Turkish airlines. With docking in Istanbul in Hamburg, it is possible to get from Yekaterinburg, Ufa, Rostov, as well as Kazan, Novosibirsk and Sochi. Also, when flight from European cities, I advise you to pay attention to such airlines as Germanwings, EasyJet, Air Berlin. They have very good options with good prices.
From the airport, you can get to Hamburg on the ground train by running between the airport and the main railway station of the city. Trains are tentatively every 10 minutes, time on the road - about half an hour, the fare is about 3 euros. Also from the airport to the city can be reached by Express. Time will take the same amount, the price is 5 euros. It goes here and ordinary buses stopping directly opposite the terminals. These are Routes No. 274, 293 and Night Bus No. 606. To get to the taxi from the airport to the city will cost about 25-30 euros - depending on the location of the hotel.
From Berlin to Hamburg
Alternatively, from Russian cities you can fly to Berlin, and from there you can go to Hamburg by train, bus or rented car. I will not even consider the flight from Berlin to Hamburg: it is expensive, and for a long time, with transfers, and generally stupid: the distance between Hamburg and Berlin is less than three hundred kilometers, and the most convenient to overcome it by land transport.
Very comfortable and quickly move through the German railway. The fare is 30-40 euros (depending on the class of the train, the day of the week, the purchase time, etc.), the distance is overcome in 2-3 hours. Trains depart every hour from early morning to late evening. The fare on a comfortable bus is even lower than the train. Another thing is that the ticket is worth bothering in advance, for example, to buy it via the Internet on the website of the bus company. Buses also go to almost every hour, travel time is about three hours. You can rent a car: the cost of renting a day on average 50 euros, the rights of the international sample will be needed.
By bus
Ecolines buses also walk from Moscow to Hamburg. Time in the way, however, about 40 hours, and the cost of the ticket - about 5,500 rubles in one direction and 10,000 - in both (children's ticket 2700 and 5000, respectively). Departs from the Riga Station in the evenings on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Friday and Sundays.
By car
You can get to Hamburg and by car. Roads in Germany excellent, free, but gasoline is expensive. Hamburg from East Germany connects the autobah e 26. But, going by car in Hamburg, it is worth remembering about the problems with parking: you can't find free parking in the city center in the center of the city, I also do not advise you to park: this is carefully monitored, and the fines are rather big.
