Drop anchor in Hamburg, where you’ll find satisfying food, welcoming locals and epic nights out. 

This is the city that turned 4 Liverpool lads into the world’s greatest band. Head to St Pauli to see where Beatlesmania began, and enjoy music clubs galore. Whether you’re into techno, reggae, rock or jazz, you’ll find a watering hole to get your groove on. 

If you’re feeling cheeky, stumble along Reeperbahn, “the sinful mile,” which is full of sex shops, strip clubs and the other, err, establishments of Hamburg’s red-light district - and street art that would make Banksy blush!

After a heavy night, cure your hangover like a local with a Fischfrikadelle (like a filet o fish on steroids) at “der Fischmarkt”, washed down with a beer (hair of the dog and all that…).
