Fit In
Wear your best for the elegant restaurants on Elbchausee. Go smart for a stroll through the Neuer Wall arcades, but jump into jeans before heading to the relaxed Schanzenviertel district. Anything goes in St Pauli. When exploring the port by boat, think practical, not fashionable – it can get wet.
