St. Pauli is the neighbourhood for party-goers and street art enthusiasts. Be sure to pay a visit to the alternative shops as well.
For Hamburg’s raw, alternative side, head to St. Pauli. This old sailors’ neighbourhood is the city’s entertainment mecca. The neighbourhood is synonymous with nightlife and partying, with the alternative and underground scenes, but also with seedy clubs. The urban streetscape, brimming with street art and graffiti, fits in perfectly with this atmosphere. The crowd you’ll encounter here is a mixed lot. Tourists, hipsters and alternative locals: everyone knows where to find St Pauli. Whether on the Reeperbahn or in the huge container port, the action goes on 24 hours a day. Yet you can also find plenty of lovely spots here to look out over the harbour with a beer in your hand.
