HafenCity & Speicherstadt

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Welcome to HafenCity & Speicherstadt!

At the edge of the city centre they stand, the beautiful old office buildings of the Speicherstadt. The world's largest historical warehouse complex and UNESCO World Heritage Site. On the other side, in the direction of the banks of the Elbe, you can see the modern architecture of HafenCity, which is constantly growing and with it the cityscape. Wherever the eye reaches - here it is always quite present - the view of the harbour.

The Überseequartier in Hamburg stands for extraordinary variety at the waters edge. A colourful mixture of different retailers, designer shops and cafés invites you to stroll and linger in a maritime atmosphere.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT St. Pauli, the Harbour & the Reeperbahn

At Hamburg’s city coast, the Elbe and the harbour, you can just sit down and watch as ships, ferries and tugs pass by and enjoy the strong sea breeze. A few hundred meters away you can experience Hamburg’s world-famous “sinful mile” – the Reeperbahn.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Sternschanze & Karoviertel

The two districts around Schanzenstraße and Schulterblatt are always in motion. Here, it is colourful and lively, and it has become much fancier in the last few years. Still, the district in the borough of Altona has preserved much of its rough, leftist-alternative nonconformism.

Sternschanze & Karoviertel

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Eimsbüttel & Eppendorf

Here, one can find magnificent old building façades, local and exquisite restaurants as well as fancy boutiques and owner-operated shops. While Eppendorf is rather fancy, one can feel the hanseatic serenity in Eimsbüttel. Both districts offer much green and water and are hence with good reason very popular neighbourhoods in Hamburg.
