Neuer Wall

In the old Mellin arcade — Hamburg's oldest shopping arcade today — you can admire the ceiling paintings and stained glass from the turn of the last century. Here, you’ll find antiques, art and rare literature at Felix Jud, exclusive porcelain vases and dishware at the Königliche Porzellan Manufaktur, and countless tea varieties at the Arka-Teepavillon. The Mellin Passage connects the Alsterarkaden with the luxury shopping street Neuer Wall. With the picturesque ceiling paintings the shopping mall is a real find for tourists alongside their shopping spree.

Mönckebergstrasse is Hamburg’s major shopping mile. It has been the central link between the town hall and the central train station since 1909. The buildings on Mönckebergstrasse pay witness to the city’s merchants’ pride and economic stability. And even today, this boulevard displays an impressive variety of large department stores, fashion boutiques, retail shops, cafés and food stalls. The Levantehaus is among the city’s smallest and finest shopping arcades.

The Alsterhaus in Hamburg is one of Germany’s major department stores. The exclusive range of products, the classy sense of trends and the artful presentation have shaped the image of the Alsterhaus significantly. On six floors the premium department store presents many shopping highlights — from international luxury brands to home accessories and prime groceries — and therefore links tradition and modernity.

Schanzenviertel is home to many bars, restaurants, small foreign traders, fashion boutiques and associated clientele dominate the streets in the centre. Just recently in 'Schanze' (so the Hamburg natives say) a series of new stores have opened that make the area attractive and versatile for shopping. The selection in the fashion boutiques ranges from fresh labels such as Chica Bandita, Indian Rose, Diesel, Lee and Levi up to Hamburg cult label Derbe. But also hip hop and skate shops, vinyl shops and shops with colourful knick-knacks and fun gift ideas provide a shopping experience away from the mainstream.

Eppendorf is one of the "chicest" districts in Hamburg. Your shopping trip in Eppendorf begins on one of the main roads: Eppendorfer Landstrasse, Eppendorfer Weg or Eppendorfer Baum. Cool and stylish Scandinavian fashion can be found at the "Grand Hotel of Sweden". At Linette you will find current collections by Chloé, Marc Jacobs, and Prada. Next you can move on to the quaint coffee roasting house Burg on Eppendorfer Weg: besides several varieties of freshly roasted coffees you can also buy cocoa, teas and chocolate.

Only 40 minutes from Hamburg, you will find the McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Neumünster. Northern Germany's largest outlet is offering 30-70% off RRP all year round and has become a shopping paradise for fashion lovers. More than 110 stores with your favourite designer brands such as Armani, Gucci, Hugo Boss, Polo Ralph Lauren, Adidas, Zwilling or WMF as well as a diversified gastronomy and the village-style, invite guests to linger. The location next to motorway A7, free parking and a shuttle from Hamburg Dammtor provide easy access.

Neuer Wall is the "boulevard" of luxury brands: from Armani to Jil Sander - Bulgari, Cartier and Sönnichsen are represented here, as is Offermann and Louis Vuitton. You can reach the luxury shops over wide and elegantly paved pavements to rejoice at Windsor or Burberry's clothing, jewellery at Tod's, writing instruments from Montblanc or jewellery at Wempe.

One of the most popular shopping streets in Hamburg runs from the central station to Gerhart-Hauptmann-Platz. There are chain stores here such as Zara, Douglas, H&M, Anson’s and Görtz. Jewellers, opticians and Thalia, Hamburg’s largest bookshop, are located next door to banks, chemists and cafés.
