War sehr lustig und interessant die Geschichten von St Pauli zu erfahren. Meiner Meinung waren die Gruppen etwas zu groß. Aber in großen und ganzen eine Tour zum Empfehlen.

Highlights of St. Pauli Tours

Reeperbahn

Reeperbahn

The minute you step on the lanes of Reeperbahn, your eyes will light up with the neon lights along the streets that houses some of the most excellent pubs, bars, discotheques, restaurants and nightclubs. The place is also known as the Sin Mile, owing to the many strip clubs, erotic theatres, sex museums and brothels you will find around.

Dancing Towers

Dancing Towers

The Dancing Towers are widely famous for being an architectural wonder. These two asymmetrically-constructed buildings have crooked edges and lean onto each other, thus creating a visual simulation of two towers dancing in complete harmony. The towers are home to several restaurants, a music club and a radio station.

Große Freiheit

Große Freiheit

The street that bewitches its visitors with its explicit and erotic theatre and numberless strip clubs, Große Freiheit (also known as Great Freedom Street) is a unique tourist spot. This street has earned a certain level of acclaim thanks to the Beatles, who kickstarted their career, playing music in different clubs on this lane.

Zur Ritze pub

Zur Ritze pub

Another spot that any boxing fan cannot miss is the Zur Ritze bar, where boxing champions like Mike Tyson and Klitschko brothers received their training! The bar has a distinctive retro feel, owing to the rustic seating and several boxing souvenirs. It's the local go-to place for many celebrities like Jan Fedder and Ben Becker, so you never know who you might bump into!

Elbphilharmonie

Elbphilharmonie

The Elbphilharmonie, nicknamed Elphi, is one of the largest concert venues in the world. It towers over the Elbe River and accommodates a chamber music hall, a philharmonic hall, several bars, restaurants, a hotel, etc., thus ensuring varied use of the building. The hall is truly an architectural enigma!

Kiez

Kiez Neighbourhoods

One of the most iconic Kiez neighbourhoods is the red-light district, where you will get a quick look into the life of prostitutes and get your answers about whether prostitution is illegal. Enjoy a colourful, weird, wild experience in the Kiez neighbourhood like never before!

Udo Lindenberg

Udo Lindenberg’s home

One of the most famous German singers, composer and drummer, Udo Lindenberg, made Hotel Atlantic Kempinski his home for the last 26 years.

Davidwache Police Station

Davidwache Police Station

This is the smallest police precinct in Europe and certainly the most popular in Germany. It has often been featured in many TV series and movies, such as St. Pauli Nacht (1991). Moreover, it was also awarded Hamburg's Building of the Year award in 2005!
