Tunnel Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany

What to expect

The Alter Elbtunnel, also known as the St. Pauli-Elbtunnel, is a tunnel that connects the northern harbor edge near the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken with the Elbe island of Steinwerder. The tunnel is 426.5 meters long and features two tunnel tubes, allowing for pedestrian, bicycle, and limited vehicle traffic. It was a technical sensation when it opened in 1911 and has been a protected monument since 2003. The tunnel is an important connection for the people working in the harbor and the surrounding areas, and it has played a significant role in the development of the Hamburg harbor. Visitors can walk or bike through the tunnel and enjoy the views of the harbor and the city
