Hamburg after dark: St. Pauli, Schanzenviertel, Großneumarkt

No visitor to Hamburg should miss the city by night. The lively metropolis in the north has much to offer - and no two districts are the same.

You should definitely get to know the Schanzenviertel, for example. While it was still considered to be particularly disreputable a few years ago, it has now developed into a colourful district with many restaurants, cafés, pubs, beer gardens and an active nightlife.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT St. Pauli, the Harbour & the Reeperbahn

At Hamburg’s city coast, the Elbe and the harbour, you can just sit down and watch as ships, ferries and tugs pass by and enjoy the strong sea breeze. A few hundred meters away you can experience Hamburg’s world-famous “sinful mile” – the Reeperbahn.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Sternschanze & Karoviertel

The two districts around Schanzenstraße and Schulterblatt are always in motion. Here, it is colourful and lively, and it has become much fancier in the last few years. Still, the district in the borough of Altona has preserved much of its rough,…

Hamburg after dark - a must for party-lovers

Before starting your party night, you can enjoy a cool beer in the evening in one of the numerous bars and pubs. The Großneumarkt district is very popular with locals and visitors alike and has many wine bars, pubs and romantic taverns. If you like jazz, this is the place for you: Several clubs offer live music several times a week, where you can enjoy a cocktail or two. There are also Irish pubs with international and Irish cuisine. During the week the official end under the open sky is 11:00 p.m. and 12 midnight at the weekend. But in the pubs, people often sit until dawn, chat and celebrate.

Get to know the Kiez

Certainly the most well-known area in Hamburg is St. Pauli. Along the Reeperbahn entertainment mile, where the metre-long ship ropes, the "Reepe", were made many years ago, there are countless pubs, discos, bars, pubs and shops as well as music bars and nightclubs. Even the Beatles once performed here. Anyone who appreciates entertainment should go to the Operettenhaus, where new musicals are performed again and again. But also party-goers will surely find the right club here: Every kind of music is represented here, and you can dance through the night. Experiencing Hamburg at night is a must when you visit the Hanseatic city.
