Hamburg Hauptbahnhof

As in other big German cities, Hauptbahnhof is the central train station in Hamburg. All categories of trains stop here, from local commuter trains and S-Bahn to long distance trains and ICE high speed trains. With 450,000 passengers per day, Hamburg Hauptbahnhof is the busiest train station in Germany and the second busiest in Europe.

Although Hauptbahnhof is the most important and the most centrally located, there are two additional long distance train stations in Hamburg: Hamburg-Altona and Hamburg-Dammtor.

Hamburg Hauptbahnhof Location

The Central Station is located in Hamburg-Mitte (Hamburg-Middle) district, in the eastern part of the historical centre. Major streets near Hamburg Hauptbahnhof include Steintorwall, Steintorbrücke, Altmannbrücke, Adenauerallee, and Kirchenallee.
