In late August we traveled to Hamburg, Germany, with a group of friends to explore the city and experience its famous nightlife. We took a boat tour, visited the Beatles’ Museum (my favorite band got their start in Hamburg!), and went on a five bar pub crawl (we were out until 4am!).
Hamburg is the second largest city in Germany, the third largest port in Europe, and home to the St. Pauli quarter, a world famous red light district that’s the largest in Europe. There was a huge contrast between the area surrounding Hamburg’s elegant Rathaus, which is full of fancy shops and cute cafes, and the Reeperbahn, home to countless strip clubs, brothels, and bars. We also stumbled upon a giant fair and a wine festival, and our (crazy) friends stayed out at the clubs until 6 am so they could be at Hamburg’s renowned fischmarkt when it opened Sunday morning. Hamburg is definitely an interesting city!
Very interesting. I didn't know Hamburg was known for all of that!
