Cyclassics Hamburg: the event and its location
Cyclassics Hamburg takes place with start and finish in the city centre and a long cycling course through the city and surroundings, in late summer. If you travel to Hamburg for it, a private airport transfer takes you from Hamburg Airport (HAM) in Fuhlsbüttel straight to your hotel or the event site in Innenstadt.
Route and travel time from HAM
From HAM via Alsterkrugchaussee into the city centre. On race day the course is closed over a wide area. For the roughly 9 km allow about 20 bis 30 minutes. You see the fixed price shown before bookingos before booking, and it stays the same regardless of traffic.
Getting there on the event day
For the race many main roads in the city and towards the Elbe are closed for hours, and crossings are limited. So allow a little more time than on a normal day.
Pickup and meeting point
At HAM you meet your driver by default directly after baggage claim in the arrivals area, waiting with a name sign (how to find your driver at HAM). Coordinate the pickup point closely with the driver; often an address outside the course ring is the fastest way to HAM.
Hotel first or straight to the event?
Both work: if you want to check in and drop your luggage first, enter your hotel address as the destination; the driver takes you to the site later or the next day. If you head there directly, you go straight to the event site in Innenstadt.
The return after the event
For the way back you set the pickup time yourself. The driver collects you at the agreed point and brings you to the correct HAM terminal in good time, even late at night when buses and trains run rarely.
Groups, luggage and vehicles
Bike, bike case and sports luggage need space: choose an estate car or van, and a minibus for teams. For groups the group transfer to HAM is worthwhile: everyone travels together at a fixed price instead of splitting across several taxis.
S-Bahn, taxi or private transfer?
On race day public transport is often the only continuous alternative; for bike and luggage to HAM the transfer is much more comfortable. A taxi costs a variable amount depending on traffic and time of day; with the private transfer the price is fixed in advance. More on this in transfer options compared.
