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 a trendy and alternative atmosphere. Schanzenviertel used to be a poor working-class neighbourhood. Now it is Hamburg's hip, always buzzing nightlife district. It is all about fun, food and drink and shopping in unique little shops. The cafés are shabby-chic and the people are young, hip and casual. Right next door is the Karolinenviertel, where the shopping is even more eccentric. The Schlachthof area hosts a fun flea market every Saturday. In Marktstraße, the main street of Karolinenviertel, you will find numerous shops of young and creative start-ups and nice (food) cafés.
