Stadthafen Stade

Stadthafen Stade puts you right in the heart of a beautifully preserved Hanseatic old town, with half-timbered merchants' houses lining the historic harbour — a setting that once welcomed commercial shipping but now sees almost none. Weekends get lively here, so expect company and plan accordingly. The harbour gives you easy walking access to Stade's museums, restaurants, and cobbled streets, making it a genuinely rewarding stop on the lower Elbe.
