Located along the Elbe River, the historic Reeperbahn district has become a popular destination for sailors and leisure seekers.

Today, the Reeperbahn and the surrounding area are still packed with nightclubs, bars and restaurants as well as art galleries, pubs and theatres. Must-sees include the Panoptikum wax museum, the Beatles monument, Große Freiheit, and Hans-Albert-Platz. Spielbudenplatz, a large square in the heart of the Reeperbahn, is home to markets, fairs and outdoor concerts. Although much has changed, the days of the red light district still exist in some parts of the Reeperbahn district and these colorful neon-lit streets.
