Hamburg - city lving between 'Schanze' and University

I took these pics about two weeks ago when I visited a friend in Hamburg.

This is where this neighbourhood is located:


I really loved it. It was still pretty central but kinda removed at the same time while still being busy and interesting.



Wouldn't mind living in one of these:


















Hamburg is definitly the capital of the smart car, they are everywhere.


The owner of this bike seems to be a St. Pauli fan.








































More beer!




















The bird was missing.


This was a hospice.


Graffiti is everywhere. Nobody bothers to remove it anymore.








Can you even call this graffiti?






































Yes, gas is almost 9$/gallon.




















































Taken at St. Pauli S.Bahn station on my way back




The last 4 pics were taken at Hamburg-Blankenese. It a bit further west from the city center directly along the river Elbe and it's pretty much the richest neighbourhood of Germany. Germany's Beverly Hills. I only had a few minutes here but I'm surely going back to take more pics, it's very intersting. There's also a beach and an old town.









Hamburg in april Part I (city center, town hall, Alster and canals)

Hamburg in april Part II (Speicherstadt, Hafencity and St. Pauli piers)

The Hanseatic city of Lüneburg in Northern Germany (lots of pics)

Parts of Hamburg remind me a lot of London's Kensington/Chelsea area.

Great tour ! I know the major streets in Schanzen1/4 , with the busy and trendy bars and people . And I know there are some areas with those expensive britsh looking two-floor buildings in Hamburg , but thought more on the Rotherbaum or Harvestehude areas.

Ah, I've been there. It's between the city center and St.Pauli/harbour right?

Yes, there are way way more tours to do in Hamburg.
I think I'm going to do Eppendorf, Ottensen, maybe Altona and Blankenese.

Blankenese is beautiful, the thing that is very irritating though is that you never know if a street ends up being a privat street and where it might end.

I spent a couple of hours in Hamburg today. Love that city - especially in 30 degrees and sunshine.

I love Hamburg! I've been there a couple of times, but next time I have to check out this part better. I spent most time south and southwest of the area you marked on the map.

In the words of Liz Lemon, "I want to go to there."

Great tour!
