Health & Safety

Travelling to Hamburg does not require any special vaccinations or medications. However, routine vaccinations to any city include measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis vaccine, varicella (chickenpox) vaccine, polio vaccine, and flu shot.

Germany does not have a high incidence of violent crime. Pick-pocketing and theft of unattended vehicles can occur. Take caution when attending a night club or the Christmas markets. Tourists are encouraged to stay in the company of trusted people when going to bars and night clubs. Always have an eye on your drink, as incidents of ‘drink spiking’ can occur.

Tourists are encouraged to be alert in the shady Viertel Neighbourhood. Known for its second hand goods on every street corner, you can discover incredible, cheap items. However, the area transforms into a red-light district at night. This attracts an unsavoury atmosphere. Trams in the Obernstrasse shopping area have the potential of leading to fatalities if you are not aware of your surroundings. Trams are located close to the walkways. Keep a safe distance from moving trams when on foot.
