Other neighborhoods in Hamburg
Binnenalster & Neustadt
The city's front room — the Inner Alster and the Jungfernstieg, with the Rathaus and the opera a walk from the lake. The arcades and the Gänsemarkt are just as close.
Elbchaussee & Nienstedten
The riverside drive west of the city, lined with merchants' villas above the Elbe. Along it lie the ferry at Teufelsbrück and the Jenisch park, then the beach and stairways of Blankenese at the end of the road.
