Discover Hamburg's Altona & Ottensen areas!

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Welcome to Altona & Ottensen!

The patchwork carpet in Hamburg's city districts. Whether for strolling, drinking coffee, walking or eating - Altona & Ottensen are located directly on the Elbe and surrounded by beautiful parks. In Altona brick walls radiate a rather rough charm, on the other side in the district Ottensen it is colourful and turbulent. In addition to cosy restaurants and pubs, there are numerous shops and boutiques that invite you to shop. And the most beautiful thing: the relaxing harbour, Elbe and Elbstrand are very close!

Grosse Bergstrasse

Grosse Bergstrasse is one of the oldest streets and the main shopping centre in Hamburg-Altona Old Town. It originally led from Nobisor to the north past the old city centre of Altona and the Jewish Cemetery to the northern part of Ottensen. Its current path between Bruno-Tesch-Platz at the junction of Vichowstrasse and Hamburg-Altona railway station is greatly reduced and is mostly used as a pedestrian zone.
