A €2,50 single ticket is required for the trip which takes 20-30 minutes. There's also a direct Airport Express bus to the main station; tickets €5 (children €2), €4 if you're in a group of six or more. Buses depart every 15-20 minutes.
Arriving by train
InterCityExpress (ICE), EuroCity (EC) and InterCity (IC) trains arrive at one or more of Hamburg's three stations: Hauptbahnhof main station, Altona or Dammtor. All stations have shops, luggage lockets and other facilities, with Hauptbahnhof the best - it also houses the main tourist information centre.
