Sailing

A lovely way to see Hamburg is from the water, and visitors to the city can rent paddleboats, canoes, rowboats, and sailboats on the Outer Alster in summer between 10 am and 9 pm. Rowboats cost around €18 an hour, and sailboats about €26 an hour assuming you have a sailing license. A list of various operators around the lake and farther afield can be found on the Hamburg Tourismus website (www.hamburg-travel.com).
