Shopping Extravaganza
From highly acclaimed local brands such as
Jil Sander, Nivea and Mont Blanc to offbeat
shops and upscale boutiques, Hamburg
offers a whirlwind shopping experience for
everyone from the novice shopper to the true
die-hard trendsetter. No matter the taste,
style or pocketbook size, shopping is an integral part of a visit to Hamburg, so we’ve put
together a variety of experiences that we’re
sure will have your clients buying an extra
suitcase for their trip back home.
The heart of Hamburg’s shopping area
is Spitalerstrasse, a pedestrianized street
that’s home to everything from H&M to a
Lego store. Running parallel to this pedestrian-friendly avenue is Moenckebergstrasse,
or “Mo, the city’s main shopping street
”
and home to the exclusive Levantehaus
shopping arcade, with more than 40 shops,
including the Sansibar Store. In the side
streets off Mo, visitors will find antique
shops, bookshops and record stores.
For exclusive merchandise, shopping
divas should march their Brian Atwood heels
over to Neuer Wall, the Champs-Elysees
of Hamburg where it’s all about luxury and
high-end goodies. This is the city’s premier
designer street, with fabulous items from
Armani, JOOP!, and Bulgari, to Hermes and
Cartier, not to mention Jil Sander, Hamburg’s
very own “home girl. In fact, it’s here where
”
your clients can visit the local designer’s
3-story flagship store to take their pick of
chic women’s clothing.
If your clients prefer to make their mark
wearing more original fashion, then it’s a
detour over to Karolinenviertel they should
take, as it’s here where they’ll find young
designers producing their own collections.
And word around the water cooler is that
Hamburg is probably Europe’s best place for
vintage clothing fans, with a bevy of second
hand shops sprinkled throughout the city.
For spa lovers, the 3-story Nivea Haus on
Jungfernstieg is a must. It’s an 8,600-sq.-ft.
haven offering pampering treatments as well
as merchandise not available in the States.
Hamburg also offers a network of shopping arcades, including one of the smallest and high-end, Mellin-Passage, which
provides a link to Neuer Wall, and one of the
newest, Europa-Passage, offering a plethora
of shopping opportunities.
tive, they’ll discover close-up all the beauty,
charm and flair that the city of Hamburg has
on display. They’ll see a city boasting a dizzying number of bridges as well as a metropolis that is one of the greenest in Europe.
● Beatles Tour: Stefanie Hempel is the
originator of the musical Beatles-Tour in
Hamburg. Clients can follow her on the
tracks of the “Fab Four” across St. Pauli, the
city’s famous red light district.
● Guided cycle tours: With Hamburg being
one of Europe’s greenest cities, it makes
sense to recommend clients explore the city
in an eco-friendly way—on a bike. Guided
cycle tours for groups of two to 20 are
available and bike and map are provided, so
clients can explore the suburbs, the harbor
or the Alster. Individual tours are available
upon request. Or, visitors can opt for a
Segway tour.
● Eat-the-world tours: Taking visitors off
the beaten paths, Eat-the-world presents a
unique cultural experience by sampling the
flavors of Hamburg’s diverse culinary scene.
From street food to local staples to delicatessen, the 3-hour tours include seven food
stops, and plenty of information on the city
and its culinary scene along the way. Guests
can choose between different neighborhoods, including the St. Pauli district and the
trendy Ottensen quarter.
Top City Tours
Whether it’s a city tour, a lake tour, a bike tour
or a Beatles tour, in Hamburg there’s a tour
that will fit any traveler’s style. Here’s a sampling of what’s in store for your clients:
● Harbor Tour: Water, water everywhere.
Your clients can see and experience this maritime city from the water on this 1- or 2-hour
boat ride that sails right along container ships
and cruise liners. Part of the ride is a launch
tour around the historic Warehouse City,
Speicherstadt, and the Port to then journey
down the Elbe.
● Alster Boat Trip: Another boat ride alternative is sailing on the Alster on a steamer,
where visitors will get to know Hamburg
from her best side. From this unique perspec-
