Jungfernstieg

Jungfernstieg

　 Introduction This has long been a place for shopping and strolling in Hamburg. In the past, especially on Sundays, it was a popular spot for family outings. Parents often brought their unmarried daughters (the "jungfrauen" or maidens) here.

Nowadays, the area is home to large department stores and high-end boutiques. The boulevard leading to Hotel Hamburg is also situated along Jungfernstieg. Here you can find a wide variety of cultural goods, as well as numerous shops—both large and small—offering unique items. Along Jungfernstieg, there are also shops selling other luxury items, such as the renowned Alsterhaus, as well as some with distinct traditional character.

Due to its proximity to the Inner Alster Lake, many pleasure boats are moored here. After shopping, you can hire a boat to enjoy the scenery of the lake and canals.

Alster Tour: Lasts 50 minutes and covers all the lakes in the area. Price: €9. From April to September, available from 10:00–18:00 every 30 minutes; in other months, four departures daily.
