Tours & Experiences in Hamburg

Hamburg has a wonderfully grown-up sort of mischief about it. Cruise the harbour, explore the historic Speicherstadt, see the Elbphilharmonie, then wander through St Pauli and the Reeperbahn, where sightseeing and nightlife have a habit of blending into one another.

Gay friendly hotels in Hamburg

Hamburg has two particularly useful areas for LGBTQ+ visitors. St Georg, around Lange Reihe and close to the main station, is home to a long-established gay scene and makes a convenient central base, while St Pauli puts you closer to the Reeperbahn and Hamburg’s wilder nightlife. Both have quick connections across the city. GayMapper’s recommended gay-friendly hotels range from affordable stays to more luxurious options, whether you want the gay bars nearby, easy sightseeing or somewhere calmer to retreat to afterwards.
