Blankeneser Treppenviertel

This gorgeous, hilly "village" neighborhood is, in my opinion, the most charming and my favorite area in Hamburg. It's known as the "stairs quarter" and is an upper class neighborhood that's part of the Blankenese quarter. There are hundreds of absolutely beautiful hillside homes, gardens, narrow streets, and gorgeous landscape views with the Elbe River in the background (and a beach). This is a must-do if you're in Hamburg.

You can access Blankenese station via the S1 in direction of Wedel (easiest mode of transport, takes around 20-25 minutes from central Hamburg) then walk 5-10 minutes to the neighborhood, or take Ferry 62 from Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerder then Ferry 64 to Teufelsbrück then bus line 36 to Blankenese (scenic route - recommended if you've never been on a longer ferry trip in Hamburg).

I'd absolutely recommend taking a day trip out here as you won't regret it! Just wander around on a sunny day and enjoy yourself! Make sure to hit the Süllberg hill which is 75m in height (there's a 5 star hotel and 2-Michelin star restaurant up there, as well).

Nice place 20min far from Hamburg. We went there using Moia taxi service. Usually it's quite windy.

A great place to take a walk with a great view of the Elbe as it heads out of Hamburg. You can walk down through all the houses and then along the river. On a nice day it's brilliant.
