Hamburg’s alter ego is raffish St. Pauli and the Reeperbahn, forever synonymous with strip clubs and the Beatles.
The city’s red light district, the Reeperbahn is a pedestrianised street lined with clubs, brothels and sex shops. Its proximity to the port has attracted sailors for centuries, while more recently the Beatles cut their musical teeth playing the seedy clubs here back in the early 1960s.
The scene is still in-your-face but a little less brutal these days, and up-market restaurants and theaters hosting shows like Cats and the Lion King rub shoulders with the less family-friendly forms of entertainment.

Doing what: Hamburg Shore Excursion: Hamburg Hop-on Hop-off Tour
Guide very knowledgable but more spoken in German than English, but would defenately recommend to friends
Practical Info
The Reeperbahn and St. Pauli lie just north of the port on the western edge of Hamburg.
The Reeperbahn heads west from the St. Pauli underground station, all the way to the fish market at Altona.
