Transport: Hamburg's extensive public transport system consists of the
U-Bahn (subway), the S-Bahn (suburban train), buses and harbour
ferries, and makes getting around without a car pleasurable. The
U-Bahn is excellent and serves the whole city centre; it connects
with the S-Bahn that services the suburbs, and this train network
is the fastest way to get around the city. Buses are also
convenient and night buses operate in the downtown area. The
Hamburg Card allows unlimited travel for a day on all public
transport as well as discounted rates or free admission to museums,
on city tours and lake cruises. Taxis are less expensive than other
German cities and are available at all hours.
