Altstadt & Neustadt

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Welcome to Altstadt & Neustadt

The Old Town and New Town are true jewels of Hamburg. The historic centre of the old town is characterised by many traditional buildings such as the Hamburg Town Hall and the Chamber of Commerce, as well as alleys and bridges that extend as far as HafenCity. In the Neustadt between Laeiszhalle and Jungfernstieg you will find elegant promenades with famous fashion designers and gallery owners - with a view of the Alster.

    One day in Altstadt & Neustadt

    On one side is the historic centre of the old town with Hamburg City Hall and the Chamber of Commerce, the narrow streets and bridges that stretch all the way to HafenCity. On the other side is the sophisticated Neustadt district between Laeiszhalle and Jungfernstieg with its elegant promenades, fashion designers and gallery owners.

    Restaurants in the Portuguese Quarter are a penny a dozen. How can you possibly find the right restaurant? Perhaps by ignoring all the ornate façades for once and instead choosing one of the more inconspicuous restaurants.

    CITY AREA PORTRAIT Altona & Ottensen

    For strolling, having a coffee, taking a walk or having some delicious food – situated directly at the Elbe and traversed by parks, Altona & Ottensen are considered to be charming and diverse districts with character. Brick walls create a rather rough atmosphere in Altona, while it is lively and colourful in Ottensen.

    CITY AREA PORTRAIT St. Georg

    Welcome to St. Georg, a borough full of contrasts. Located just behind Hamburg main railway station, it is colourful, multicultural, stylish and hip all the way up to the Alster.

    CITY AREA PORTRAIT Eimsbüttel & Eppendorf

    Here, one can find magnificent old building façades, local and exquisite restaurants as well as fancy boutiques and owner-operated shops. While Eppendorf is rather fancy, one can feel the hanseatic serenity in Eimsbüttel. Both districts offer much green and water and are hence with good reason very popular neighbourhoods in Hamburg.
