The Best Hotels, Restaurants and Night Clubs in Hamburg, Germany
Our team to Hamburg are four ladies who have tested a lot of hotels, restaurants and night-clubs
world-wide.
Hamburg – Germany’s second-largest city and biggest port – is one of the coolest cities in the world.
It's historic label ‘The gateway to the world’ is a bold claim, but it was true for most Germans.
The city's echo
of the port and history are everywhere, from the incessant cry of gulls overhead to the vibrant
neighbourhoods awash with multicultural eateries, seaward-facing architecture and the gloriously seedy
Reeperbahn red-light district.
White arcades adorn the waterfront at the Jungfernstieg promenade with an elegant, Mediterranean charm. A perfect destination for an afternoon stroll, the shopping galleries offer designer clothes, exclusive jewelry, luxury dining – and surprising Art Nouveau frescoes.
Mellin Passage, the oldest shopping arcade in Hamburg, is connecting the Alsterarkaden with the Neuer Wall shopping street. Here, you’ll find antiques, art and rare literature at Felix Jud, exclusive porcelain vases and dishware at the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur.
The swans on Inner Alster Lake hold a special place in Hamburg’s identity – it is said that the city will be free and Hanseatic as long as there are swans living on the Alster – so the swans are protected and cared for dutifully by the city government.
Currency is Euro ( € ).

Our Team recomands these Night Clubs:
Grosse Freiheit 36 is situated at the far end of the reeperbahn, from the outside it looks run down.
However, don't let that effect what is a great music venue, the sound quality is excellent.The place is actually made up of three locations – the big concerts and parties take place in the main room.
Im Kaiserkeller – legendary because of the Beatles' performances in the 1960s – small bands regularly take the stage and music fans dance to rock and metal.
Galerie 36 – is where Latin and Reggae music lovers come to dance on Friday and Saturday nights.
If you're looking for an adventure, this is a place to be! A bit chaotic at night but definitely worth to visit!
