Frequently asked questions about St. Pauli
As everywhere on the network, trains at St. Pauli run on ordinary days roughly from 04:00 to 01:00.

The exact first and last departures per direction are listed under opening hours.
St. Pauli is a station on line U3 of the Hamburg U-Bahn. The line page lists every stop on the route together with the journey times; for an overview of the whole network see the network map.
You barely need a printed timetable in Hamburg: at peak times trains run about every 3–5 Min., around ca. 5 Min. during the day, roughly every 10 Min. in the evening and every 20 Min. on the round-the-clock nights. So you simply walk down to the platform — the next train is coming soon.
The entire U-Bahn network lies in the Hamburg AB fare zone. A single ticket AB costs 3,80 € (about 7% less in the hvv app, 3,55 €); for short hops there is the short-trip ticket at 2,10 €, and for a whole day the day ticket at 8,20 €. Regular riders in practice use the Deutschland-Ticket (63,00 €/month). There is also the free, rechargeable hvv Prepaid Card for buying tickets — but it is a stored-value purse and not a tap-and-go card for checking in and out. Buy your ticket before you board: Hamburg has no fare gates but does check on board — riding without a valid ticket means a 60,00 € penalty fare. Every option is on the tickets & prices page.
Bicycles ride on the Hamburg U-Bahn free of charge — but not on weekdays from 6 to 9 a.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m. (the rush hour). Outside those blocked periods, and all day on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, they travel free and without an extra ticket. Folding bikes count as luggage when folded and can be carried at any time. Space per train is limited — use the multipurpose areas and let passengers get on and off first.
