Hamburg public transport tickets for a 3 day / 48 hour trip?

If you are not going far out of the city, you only need a ticket for the tariff zone “Großbereich Hamburg” which covers the white and blue areas on the tariff zone map. This tariff zone also covers the airport and the trip between the airport and the city centre.

On Friday, you could either buy a single-trip ticket from the airport to the city centre for 3,20€ or if you plan further trips later in the evening, a day ticket (9-Uhr-Tageskarte) for 6,20€ may come cheaper. On Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, the 9-Uhr-Tageskarte is valid all day. Single fare tickets within the city centre are 1,50€, 2,20€ or 3,20€ depending on the distance, so unless you only plan one or two trips with public transport, the day ticket comes cheaper.

A further option is the 3-day “Hamburg CARD” for 25,50€. In addition to free public transport within the “Großbereich Hamburg”, you get discounts on the tickets to several tourist attractions like museums and sightseeings and discounts on theatre or cinema tickets or in restaurants and cafés. You should check the online benefits list and see if there is anything interesting and if it’s worth the 6,90€ extra compared to three day tickets for the public transport. You should however avoid buying the “Hamburg CARD” online, since you would have to pick it up at the tourist information at the central railway station (and therefore need an additional ticket to get there from the airport). Instead, the “Hamburg CARD” should also be available at the HVV ticket machines at the airport, so that you can buy it there directly.
