Itinerary
Known as the "most sinful mile," the Reeperbahn is St. Pauli’s famous entertainment and nightlife street. It’s lined with bars, clubs, and theaters, and its reputation for hedonism dates back to the 19th century. The street is also rich in music history; The Beatles honed their skills here in the early 1960s.
Adjacent to the Reeperbahn, this street is famous for its live music venues, including the Indra Club and Kaiserkeller, where The Beatles played some of their earliest gigs. It’s a hub for live entertainment and has a storied past.
A vibrant square on the Reeperbahn, Spielbudenplatz hosts open-air markets, concerts, and events year-round. Historically, it was a hub for traveling performers, and today it continues to embody St. Pauli’s entertainment-focused character.
This circular plaza commemorates The Beatles’ connection to St. Pauli. Designed to resemble a vinyl record, it features silhouettes of the Fab Four and is a great spot to learn about their early career in Hamburg.
This historic tunnel, opened in 1911, connects St. Pauli to the port area beneath the Elbe River. Its art deco design and rich history make it a fascinating stop for visitors. Walking or cycling through offers stunning views of Hamburg’s harbor area.

About Hamburg
Hamburg is Germany's second city and biggest port, a place of canals, red-brick warehouses, a harbourside concert hall and the Reeperbahn.
Hamburg lies on the Elbe, about a hundred kilometres from the North Sea, and trade made it rich as a Hanseatic city. The Speicherstadt, a district of red-brick warehouses on timber piles beside canals, is listed by UNESCO together with the neighbouring Kontorhaus quarter. Beyond it the Elbphilharmonie concert hall rises from an old warehouse, with a public viewing terrace over the harbour.
