 Indoor pool in a peculiar building |
Ifflandstraße 21 Hamburg, Hamburg 22087 Germany +49 (0)40 18 8890 http://www.baederland.de |
The Alster swimming pool boasts interesting architecture and has a lot to offer. As major swimming competitions are carried out here, there is a 50m pool for competitive swimming and a 10m diving platform, as well as stands for spectators. There is a lovely area with inflatable toys for little non-swimmers and a whirl pool for grown-ups to relax in. A heated outdoor pool is just one of the many other attractions. You can also visit the spacious sauna or the Easy-Fit gym to try and lose some extra pounds. In addition to the swimming facilities, the Alster-Schwimmhalle offers a lot of different courses for children and adults, such as aquatics, aqua-jogging, gymnastics for rheumatism or diving courses to name just a few.

There is no end to the range of activities offered at the Bondenwald. First of all it has the longest water slide in town, which is an impressive 106m.

Outdoor pool in the city centre |
Südring 5B Hamburg, Hamburg 22303 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
The Stadtpark provides all the sporting and recreational facilities you could possibly require, one of which is an enormous (107m x 137m) open-air swimming pool. A great place to come for an energetic swim or to cool off on a hot summer's day! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Refreshing splashing in the summer heat |
Puckaffer Weg 2 Hamburg, Hamburg 22397 Germany +49 (0)40 3005 1300 (Information für Touristen) |
What could be nicer than diving into the cool waters of an open-air pool on a real summer's day? The Sommerbad Duvenstedt is known to be a particularly family friendly institution, and among other attractions it offers two giant water slides, large sunbathing lawns and plenty of room for volleyball or badminton matches. And a large pool, of course. If you grow hungry, the pool kiosk sells some snacks, and if swimming doesn't suffice as a refreshment you can have an ice-cream here. But summer and Hamburg sometimes seem to be a bit of a contradiction, so keep your fingers crossed! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Swimming and miniature golf |
Hohe Liedt 9 Hamburg, Hamburg 22417 Germany +49 (0)40 537 0247 |
The outdoor summer pool Hohe Liedt offers pure bathing pleasure. There is a very large pool and plenty of room for sunbathing on the 4.7 hectare grounds. A little bistro provides some snacks which you can burn up in one of the four beach volleyball areas. And if bathing, diving and trying out the water slide is not enough for you, why not go for a game of miniature golf on the pool grounds. This all sounds fantastic - all we need to enjoy it best is summer, sun and a day off. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The Kaifu-Lodge, in the heart of the Eimsbüttel neighbourhood, is one of the most popular fitness centres in town. There's an open-air pool for customer use in summer and the lodge offers one of the most versatile choices of fitness and other work-out courses in Hamburg.

A terrific fitness club |
Wandsbeker Zollstraße 87-89 Hamburg, Hamburg 22041 Germany +49 (0)40 6589 x1205 http://www.meridian-academy.de |
The Meridian is an oasis above Hamburg's rooftops. Europe's largest fitness and wellness centre is spread over 10,000 square metres. This fantastic place is located in Wandsbek, near the city centre and is easily reached by public transport. In addition to indoor cycling, step aerobics and massages customers can try new kinds of work-outs, such as the so-called power fitness. The instructor wears an (ominous) army track suit, plays drum and bass tracks and succeeds in motivating even those in the last row. After such work-out programmes, customers can relax at the swimming-pool or sauna. A large rooftop indoor and outdoor pool as well as 10 different saunas (one is the popular fire-place sauna) mean real relaxation. Make sure you take the time to experience everything-the scope of choice can be overwhelming! Review © 2007, Wcities |
