For the boundaries of the district, provide either street boundaries or commonly understood neighborhood boundaries.

Also include any background or historical info particular to the district (e.g., it's the traditional Italian neighborhood, it's a business district mostly shut down at night, it's a slum, whatever). Try not to duplicate too much information that already exists in the huge city page. You don't need to mention the airport location, for example.

Blankenese is a suburban quarter in the western part of Germany's second-biggest city Hamburg. It is considered to be a wealthy suburb - as of 2013, the average household income in Blankenese was three times as high as in Hamburg in total.

Get in

Hamburg airport is 30-60 minutes away by car (heavily depending on traffic) or 1 hour 20 minutes by S-Bahn (commuter railway, line S1). The S-Bahn ticket costs 3.30 € (as of 2019), and the train passes central station and Altona (another traffic hub within Hamburg).

The nearest autobahn exit is the A7 exit Othmarschen; from there it's 15-20 minutes by car to Blankenese.

When using national trains that stop in either Hamburg central station or in Hamburg-Altona, the city train S1 in direction of Wedel stops in Blankenese. Bus lines 1, 22, 112, 189 and 286 stop in Blankenese.
