Digital support for visitors
To make planning easier for visitors, an interactive digital map is provided. As the North Sea newspaper reports, this map not only shows the locations of the historic tall ships and stages, but also gastronomic offerings and practical information about toilets, parking spaces and shuttle stops. This means that visitors can access all important information via mobile devices at any time and quickly display the best route to their destination.
Features like zooming and clicking for details make navigating the harbor festival a breeze. This not only sweetens the way to the ships, but also to the culinary delights and cultural attractions on site.
Security concept and special offers
Given the current security situation in Germany, a comprehensive security concept is being drawn up. The head of tourism, Michael Gerber, made it clear that there is close communication with the security authorities to ensure the safety of all visitors. It is also possible to book various trips via the official website. Prices for rides in the entry parade start at 89 euros for adults and 62 euros for children aged four and over. A real bargain for an unforgettable experience!
The Buccaneers Village with pirates, artisans and street artists will also be a perfect place to hang out with the family and soak up the maritime vibes.
