Facing the Elbe River, Hamburg City Centre offers everything from the city’s top attractions to its best shopping and dining. With hotels to suit all budgets here, it’s ideal for those who want to be a true tourist when visiting the city.
Nearby St. Georg is a pocket-friendly inner-city neighbourhood centred around Hamburg’s central train station. This location is convenient for those looking for easy access to the city centre and beyond.
HafenCity is an island on Hamburg’s Elbe River that sits just next to the city centre. With many popular museums and a music hall located here, it’s perfect for those wanting to immerse in Hamburg’s port heritage and lifestyle.
While the city centre is very mainstream and commercial, the Schanzenviertel district shows the alternative side to German culture. From its record shops to its quirky bars, this hip neighbourhood is brimming with youth culture and urban cool.
St. Pauli, located directly west of the city centre, is another youth-centric with a liberal and rebellious soul. It’s home to Reeperbahn, aka Hamburg’s Red Light District, where you’ll find the city’s hottest nightlife, as well as an array of independent shops. Sternschanze is another, more casual nightlife hotspot.
Hamburg is really well-connected by an underground metro system, making it easy to explore the city, no matter where you stay.
