===View Terraces in Terminal 1 and 2===
The view terraces are in Terminal 1 and 2. They offer an outstanding view over the apron and the runways despite the fact you'll have to spot through glass. The view Terraces in Terminal 2 can be visited for free. I don't know if there is an entrance fee at Terminal 1. The accesses are signposted.
The view terraces are in Terminals 1 and 2. They offer an outstanding view over the apron and runways despite the fact you'll have to spot through glass. As of August 2011, both terraces can be visited for free. The entrances ("Aussicherterrase") are well sign-posted. There is also a terrace in the building where the model airport is located, next to the passenger terminals.
 
Terminal 1 terrace is shared with a restaurant / cafe and the dirty and tinted glass makes photography almost impossible.

The spot can be reached from the airport terminal by walking to the north along the "Flughafenstrasse" toward Fuhlsbüttel. Walking time is about 10 minutes. You are very close to runway 23 arrivals and are also able to see departures on the same runway. On fullframe cameras you will need lenses from 100-300mm focal length. Light is good from 9am to 2pm.

==="P1" - Flughafenstrasse===
The spot is on top of a car park (named P1) at Flughafenstrasse. Walking time is about 5 minutes from the terminals. It's very similar to "The Bridge" but much more elevated.

==="Cafe Himmelsschreiber" - GAT===
The spot is probably the most versatile at HAM. Walking time is about 20 minutes from the terminals via "Weg beim Jäger". It's actually a Café with a terrace. You have great light almost the whole day depending on the runways in use. There is a lot of action as it is directly located on the General Aviation Terminal. Of course there is a fence which you can avoid using a three step ladder but with a crop camera you should be able to take photographs through the fence anyway. You may need wide angle lenses down to 24mm on fullframe as the action can get very close but make sure to have longer lenses as well.

=== Holtkoppel ===
The end of the road Holtkoppel is very popular with locals and offers good views of action on 15/33.
