Lovers of street art, vintage and an alternative atmosphere will definitely feel at home in the Schanze and the Karoviertel.
This is your district if you are looking for an alternative atmosphere. Schanzenviertel used to be a poor working-class neighbourhood. Now it is Hamburg's hip nightlife district where it is always buzzing. The cafés are shabby-chic and the people are young, hip and casual. Right next door is the Karolinenviertel, where the shopping scene is even more eccentric. The Schlachthof area hosts a flea market every Saturday. Marktstraße, the main street of the Karolinenviertel, is full of (food) cafés and shops of young and creative start-ups.
