Innenstadt
Hamburg is the shopping metropolis of Northern Germany. The many shopping streets and shopping malls offer a large variety of goods. From chic boutiques and traditional Hamburg fashion shops around the Alster, to unusual and alternative stores found outside the city-centre area. The entire area between Gänsemarkt, Town Hall, Inner Alster Lake and Hamburg’s main train station is the “shopping heartland”. Of course, numerous alternative shopping districts can be found in all city districts, especially in Harvestehude, Pöseldorf, Eppendorf, Winterhude, Poppenbüttel, Sasel, Blankenese, Wandsbek and Altona, where one can find and explore small but excellent designers and backyard factories, but none of the districts invites in a more typical Hanseatic environment to merciless overdraft the personal credit facilities, as the inner city does with its almost majestic shopping malls and street courses. The attraction is the architecturally unique ambiance of the numerous building ensembles so that even men are able to develop restrained joy in shopping. read more…
