Fischmarkt

Traditional weekly market in Altona

Every Sunday morning since 1703 Hamburg's most traditional market has been trading in just about anything and everything that isn't nailed down.

A real Hamburg classic – since 1703!

Sunday morning in Hamburg. While most of the city still sleeps, the Große Elbstraße wakes up to the bustling rhythm of the Hamburg Fish Market. For over 300 years, it’s been a place of trade, tradition and typical northern charm – full of energy, humor and harbor atmosphere.

Auctioneers, Music & Market Magic

Since 1703, almost anything that’s not nailed down is for sale – from antique teapots to freshly packed meat parcels. Legendary market characters like Aale-Dieter shout their offers into the crowd, bananas fly through the air, and fish is sold by the bucket. You’ll find fresh seafood, tropical fruit, flowers, clothing, souvenirs and much more – the market is a full-sensory experience.

Between night and morning – one iconic gathering

Party-goers fresh off the Reeperbahn mingle with early risers at the harborfront, sipping coffee or munching on a fish roll as the sun rises. For some, the day is just beginning; for others, it’s not quite over yet. The historic Fish Auction Hall from 1896 completes the experience with live music and breakfast options.

Opening Hours

Summer (April–October): Sunday from 5:00 to 9:30 AM

Winter (November–March): Sunday from 7:00 to 9:30 AM

A must-see for culture lovers, Hamburg fans and foodies alike!

Schmidt Theater

Theater history is written here Schmidt Theater

Original musicals, bold comedy, and quirky shows – the name “Schmidt” stands for top-notch entertainment right on Germany’s most famous street: the Reeperbahn. When the curtain first rose at the Schmidt Theater on August 8, 1988, few believed the “offbeat stage” would last. Over 35 years later, the Schmidt is a beloved part of Hamburg’s cultural scene.

At Spielbudenplatz, hospitality is part of the experience: drinks and light snacks are served right at your seat in the auditorium. The theatre’s foyer bar is a café by day and a nightspot by evening – ideal for coffee and cake in the afternoon, a glass of wine before the show, or cocktails and long drinks late at night. A place where theatre fans, night owls, and artists meet.

Upstairs, Restaurant Reep serves hearty North German cuisine – fresh, regional, and with a view of the Reeperbahn.

Weird, quirky, beautiful! Schmidts TIVOLI

At Schmidts Tivoli on Spielbudenplatz, the heartbeat of the Reeperbahn comes alive. Visitors from all over Germany come to experience imaginative musical productions, dazzling revues, comedy stars and concerts in one of Hamburg’s most beautiful theatre venues. Since opening on 1 September 1991, the theatre has offered a diverse programme and a unique atmosphere – with 612 seats that bring the audience close to the action. Always new, always good: Die Heiße Ecke - Das St. Pauli Musical provides entertaining entertainment and also Oberaffengeil - a wild trip through the 80s and 90s puts you in a good mood.

As a dinner theatre, Schmidts Tivoli serves drinks and snacks directly to your seat – before the show, during the interval and afterwards – for a perfect night out at the theatre.
