Alsterarkaden

Just stroll under the arcades and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and exclusive shops. Hungry? Then you shouldn't miss the Arabian cuisine at Saliba. Then in the old Mellin arcade - Hamburg's oldest shopping arcade today - leading to the Neuer Wall, you can admire the ceiling paintings and stained glass from the turn of the last century. Relax: just sit on the steps by the canal, feed the swans, watch the canal steamers at the locks - or walk along the canal through to the Elbe.

Shopping

Hamburg is a true metropolis when it comes to shopping. Whether you are after fine wines and food or the latest in clothing fashions — Hamburg's got you covered. There are numerous pedestrian shopping areas, shopping arcades, department stores and small boutiques competing for space in everything from classical buildings in the Jugend style to hypermodern buildings.
