This helps a lot, thank you! Although my flight lands almost at closing time for S-Bahn. Maybe in the future you could make a guide of how to get bus tickets too.
@@james3390 Hamburg uses a trust-based ticket system. At every metro/commuter train stop, in almost every city-run ferry and at every major station, you‘ll find the ticket machines shown in the video. They will accept debit cards and most credit cards, though some older machines (as also shown in the video) may not accept contactless cards and Apple/Google Pay. They have started to introduce newer machines though, you‘ll find at least one of them at every train stop in the city area where tourists usually go. These machines accept every contactless method and are generally much nicer and easier to use than the old ones. Once you got your ticket, you don’t have to do anything. You don’t have to stamp it like in other German cities. In Hamburg, they are automatically validated from purchase and the time the ticket was printed is printed onto the ticket. There are no ticket barriers or any checks at stations, just board a train. Once a ticket inspector comes, just show them your ticket and you’ll be fine. (Though inspectors are insanely rare, please still buy a ticket as the fine if you get caught without one is 60€ per person). Have fun in Hamburg. One recommendation from me (you’ll find it in every tourist guide lol): Take a ride on the 62-ferry line from Landungsbrücken to Finkenwerder and back. You don’t have to get off at Finkenwerder, there is not much to see there, but the ride over the Elbe is really beautiful. A return journey takes about one hour and is included in the normal HVV-fare that you also pay for trains and buses. In November, it may be too cold to sit up top in the open area of the ferry, but there is still a quite nice (heated) inside area where you can sit. The ferries run Monday to Sunday, usually every 20 minutes but in the evening hours it may be a lower frequency. And in November the ferries won’t be as packed with tourists as in Summer. Greetings from Hamburg!
@@james3390ok I’m back and there’s no barriers… so yeah either buy a ticket at the machine or also now you can also get a ticket on the DB Navigator app (but I didnt see an option to buy a group ticket on the app like you can at the machine if you need one of them)

Do you have to validate ticket like you have to do when using the Ubahn in Berlin?
No, they are validated as you purchase it and the time and date is automatically printed onto the ticket.
Appreciate your reply, thank you .
Same info with the return journey, I guess.
Yep :)
Just remember to board the front 3 coaches on the way back (rear 3 go somewhere else)
