Rotherbaum: elegant by the Alster, well connected to HAM
Rotherbaum sits in the Eimsbuettel district, just west of the Outer Alster and right in the academic heart of Hamburg. Around the University of Hamburg, Dammtor station and the lively Grindel quarter, you live among historic facades, bookshops and cafes. This is exactly where your private airport transfer picks you up at your front door and takes you to Hamburg Airport (HAM) in Fuhlsbuettel in about 18 minutes.
The typical route to Hamburg Airport
From the Grindel or Rothenbaumchaussee, the drive usually runs via Hallerstrasse and Ring 2 heading north, then on via Alsterkrugchaussee straight to the terminal. HAM lies only around 8.5 kilometres north of the city centre, so the route stays short and simple. Outside peak hours you reach the terminal in a good fifteen minutes; during rush hour, allow a few extra minutes. Your driver knows the alternative routes around Dammtor and the Alster ring and picks the fastest way.
Why the private fixed-price transfer pays off
Dragging your suitcase from Rotherbaum to Dammtor and then changing to the S1 towards the airport costs time and nerves. A private transfer takes you without changes and without stairs right to the terminal. The fixed price is set at the time of booking and starts at the total price shown during bookingos, with no taximeter. You provide your flight number so any delay is taken into account, and at the airport waiting time according to the voucher and booked fare. On the return trip, your driver meets you with a name sign at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2.
Suitable for every travel group
Whether you travel alone, as a family or in a group, the vehicles range from an economy car to a minibus for 1 to 19 people. Child seats can be selected during booking, and pets travel in a transport box. The door-to-door service is especially handy for guests of the nearby Congress Center Hamburg or the university when there is plenty of luggage or event material. The available payment methods and the binding terms are shown during the booking process.
Local tips around Rotherbaum
Before heading to HAM, enjoy a last stroll along the Alster bank or a coffee in the Grindel quarter. The nearby Isemarkt, the Museum am Rothenbaum and the green Moorweide right by Dammtor are among the loveliest spots in the area. If you were in town on business, the exhibition grounds and Planten un Blomen are also just minutes away. Book your transfer before you arrive, and your journey from Rotherbaum begins relaxed and on time.
