Bubendey Ufer

This audio guide focuses on Bubendey Ufer, a stop that reveals how Hamburg’s port really functions behind the scenes. This is not a place for classic sightseeing — there are no cafés, promenades, or souvenir shops waiting just beyond the pier. Instead, you’ll hear about ship traffic control, harbor pilots, and why this stretch of the Elbe is essential to keeping one of Europe’s largest ports running smoothly. For most visitors, the best seat is exactly where you are now: comfortably on the ferry, listening and watching the river traffic go by. Only photographers or those who enjoy fifteen quiet minutes on a bench between ferries might consider stepping off. For everyone else, stay seated — the story is far more interesting than the stop itself.
