Beautiful and impressive Alster view

The Lombardsbrücke both separates and connects the Inner and Outer Alster lakes – it is, so to speak, a transition between two very different urban landscapes. As a road and railway bridge from 1868, it offers one of Hamburg's most beautiful panoramic views: on one side, the historic backdrop of the city center with the Rathaus and Alsterarkaden, on the other, the vast, green Außenalster. It is a striking landmark, also a place for reflection, to experience water, expanse, and city in a single glance.
