Große Elbstraße

Always parallel to the Elbe, the Große Elbstraße runs from the St. Pauli fish market along the Altona Balcony all the way to Neumühlen.

Here, you have an unobstructed view of the countless cranes and ships in the harbour and can watch the lively hustle and bustle on the other side of the Elbe. Occasionally a fresh breeze blows around your nose, suggesting that in the immediate vicinity of the fish market, many fish wholesalers have settled. But there’s much more to discover in the Große Elbstraße. Fresh fish is immediately processed and served here in the many high-quality restaurants. A little further you will find delis, vintage furniture and the iconic Haifisch Bar, where you can still meet real seamen having their evening beer.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Altona & Ottensen

For strolling, having a coffee, taking a walk or having some delicious food – situated directly at the Elbe and traversed by parks, Altona & Ottensen are considered to be charming and diverse districts with character. Brick walls create a rather rough atmosphere in Altona, while it is lively and colourful in Ottensen.

Port of Hamburg

About 8,000 ships from all over the world call at Europe's second largest port. From Hamburgs cruise ship terminal to the historic Speicherstadt and the jetties to the modern container port - it smells like freedom and distant countries here.

View Point

A viewing tower offers a host of new perspectives of the growing HafenCity in Hamburg. However, it is not only the view which is spectacular. The View Point itself is very eye-catching.
