What you'll see
From the long floating piers of the Landungsbrücken, a city ferry chugs downriver past container ships, cranes and dry docks to the fishing-village charm of Övelgönne and its little river beach, for the price of a bus ticket.
A brief history
The piers were built for ocean liners and harbour steamers; the domed building on the shore dates from the early 1900s, when emigrants left from Hamburg for America.
