A great way to explore Hamburg is through one of its countless rivers. Rent a canoe and either paddle into the city or out into the nature. Beautiful, very romantic and soothing. You could paddle down to the Außenalster, but that will take you a day.

All of Hamburg's madness condensed into one street. In earlier years, the traditional Reeperbahn used to be filled with brothels. Nowadays it's the place to go if you want to have a night of partying. Lots of (strip) clubs, bars, restaurants, brothels and casinos reside next to each other. If you want to have a night of partying, this is the place to go. Very crowded on thursday, friday and saturday evenings. Beware of pickpockets and crazy people.
