The best of Hamburg
As a city with a reputation for showing visitors a good time, Hamburg packs a punch when it comes to friendly and fun cultural activities.
While there are seedier sides to the city like the unofficial Red Light District at Reeperbahn, there are loads of classier ways to soak up the city and, thus, ensure at least a handful of your photos are PG13...
More cultured men among you may want to visit one of Hamburg’s many museums, while beer lovers should consider a trip to a local brewery. Hamburg stag dos will also expose you to Germany’s football culture thanks to regular matches at venues like the huge Volksparkstadion.
Late night escapades are equally as diverse and not just restricted to touristy strip clubs. The city’s love of music is undeniable, with some of the best gigs found at Kulturhaus 73 and Prinzenbar.
Hamburg’s eclectic nightlife scene is matched by a seemingly endless list of awesome restaurants. Whatever your budget or craving, you’ll find everything there is to eat in this city.
Cheap eats include currywurst and schnitzel from local favourite Grillstation, while those keen to sample some hearty authentic German cuisine at a proper sit down restaurant will be in safe hands at Goot Hamburg in the city centre.
Hamburg’s cafe game is pretty strong, whether you want a carb-heavy lunch to soak up the beer or fancy something sweet. Top picks in St. Pauli include Fischerhaus for tasty fish sandwiches and family-run Cafe Mimosa for lots of coffee and cake.
For a celebratory feast before a night out, book a table at Clouds - St. Pauli’s slickest venue that’s located on the penultimate floor of one of the city’s so-called Dancing Towers.
When it comes to planning a booze up in Hamburg, most people will instantly think of St. Pauli - and for good reason. Touristy but undeniably fun, crazy clubs like Dollhouse and Moondoo on Reeperbahn guarantee a good night.
For a - slightly - more civilised evening, the trendy drinking holes in Sternschanze are ideal. Hit up Absinth Bar to take your pick of a whopping 400 types of its namesake green lethal liquid or go to Le Fonque for cheesy disco tunes and a laid back atmosphere.
Beer lovers will additionally be in their element on Hamburg stag dos thanks to the German’s love of beer. Day drinking (and dancing to oompah music) is encouraged at the two huge Hofbräu beer halls, while you’ll be able to check out the city’s budding craft beer scene at cool Altes Mädchen on Lagerstraße.
Hamburg is a pretty massive city. Luckily, it’s also home to a great public transport system, including trains and buses which run from 4am ‘til midnight on weekdays and 24/7 on weekends. If you’re stumbling home late from one of the city’s epic clubs, you could also hail a taxi (official ones are cream coloured) or use UberX.
The city additionally runs a great bike rental system called StadtRad Hamburg. You’ll spot the bright red bikes at most U-Bahn and S-Bahn stations, plus you can even take them on trains or ferries if your stag do itinerary takes you to multiple areas of the city.
