Hamburg’s shopping district
Hamburg is Germany’s wealthiest city – as those who visit the neighbourhoods of Altstadt and Neustadt will notice straight away. The streets of Hamburg’s prominent shopping district are lined with elegant department stores and upscale boutiques. Admire the sparkling jewellery, taste some caviar or try on a new suit.
The centre of Hamburg is divided into 2 parts with the Rathaus (town hall) as the central point. Altstadt encompasses the eastern part up to the Hauptbahnhof (central train station) and Neustadt lies between the western quays of the Binnenalster and the Hamburg State Opera. Mönckebergstraße and Spitalerstraße are Hamburg’s 2 major busy shopping streets where you will find many large chain stores. For more exclusive fashion, head to Neuer Wall and Große Bleichen and browse the luxury designer labels.
A taste of caviar
Disembark at the Jungfernstieg U-Bahn stop right in front of the Alsterhaus department store: this store has been a Hamburg landmark for more than a century. In bygone days, wealthy ladies shopped here for the latest fashion in French hats and Persian rugs. Today the selection is more contemporary yet still luxurious and varied. The top floor is a gourmet paradise, with caviar, fancy chocolates and expensive wine.View on the map
