Stadtpark & Planetarium Hamburg
Stadtpark / Planetarium Hamburg
One of Hamburg's largest city parks, where a planetarium converted from an old water tower is among the most modern in Europe.
Stadtpark lies in the Winterhude district and covers about 148 hectares. It has large lawns, lakes, a rose garden and an open-air stage, which hosts outdoor concerts in summer. There is also a natural swimming pool. At the western end of the park, the planetarium was converted from a water tower completed in 1915. Its dome shows cosmic programmes, and the observation deck at the top of the tower offers views over the city. Entry to the park is free, while planetarium shows from about €11 need to be booked in advance. Take the U3 subway to Borgweg station, then walk about 10 minutes.
