Reeperbahn

Hamburg's famous entertainment district

The Reeperbahn is certainly one of the world's most famous sights of Hamburg. On the so-called "sinful mile" between Millerntor and Nobistor in the district of St. Pauli, one bar, disco and nightclub follows the next. Nightlife until the early morning and red light form a spectacular unity here. But you can also just stroll and look around, eat and drink well or take part in one of the numerous guided tours. In total, the Reeperbahn is over 900 meters long.

Hamburg Kiez - Diversity and much more

Hamburg's Reeperbahn is the heart of Hamburg's Kiez, the unique Hanseatic entertainment district in the St. Pauli district, popularly known as the most sinful mile in the world. The so-called Kiez includes the Reeperbahn, the Große Freiheit, the Hamburger Berg and the Hans-Albers-Platz and together they form the famous entertainment and red light district of Hamburg.

The Reeperbahn, the central street in the entertainment and red light district, is about 930 meters long and runs from Millerntor to Nobistor. During the day, the Reeperbahn still seems to be recovering from the night's events. Slowly, with the onset of dusk and nightfall, however, it comes back to life and becomes a damp and cheerful catchment area for thousands of locals and tourists. The city's most famous nightlife district is transformed into a glowing billboard within seconds, attracting visitors from all over the world with live music that gets louder and louder.

The highlights of the night

The later the evening, the busier the streets and more exuberant the people. If you have never been to the Reeperbahn before, the following plan may help you to find your way around the wild party mile: You should definitely not miss the windowless cult pub Zur Ritze. Formerly a meeting place for famous red light stars, today it is a scene meeting place for numerous tourists from all over the world.

If you want to go further and have planned a wet and merry spectacle of the extra class, you can make a detour to the most famous establishments in the erotic area. The Dollhouse, the Safari Bierdorf or the A la Charm are among the well-visited places that party enthusiasts like to visit. The S&M scene does not miss out on the Reeperbahn either. The Club de Sade is one of the oldest S&M clubs in Europe.
