St. Georg district

St. Georg is unusual and sinful, chic and gay and always good for lurid headlines. Life plays out on an iconic stage here. Prominent artists and creatives feel at home on the colourful streets, just as much as business people, yuppies, junkies and lost souls. It's just the allure of difference that makes this area so attractive to tolerant people.

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.
