Gängeviertel is where I go to experience the alternative side of Hamburg. It's a hidden little treasure in the middle of the cold office blocks in the center.

Kraftwerk Bille is one of Hamburg's oldest power plants fully restored and converted into a beautiful setting for artistic projects with an excellent cafe!

Café Deike in Eimsbüttel charms with vintage vibes, homemade treats, Tatort nights & French convo tables — my favorite café in the neighborhood!

"GWA St. Pauli" in Hamburg is THE place for neighborhood culture work. You can take classes in theatre, arts, capoeira... Another plus: it's on the harbor!

"PERLE Store" Hamburg, in the 'new' Neustadt, is like this cool Tumblr or Pinterest blog you always wish you had, in the form of a clothes and gifts shop.

"Kinderbücherei Bahrenfeld BüBa" Hamburg is a very small library packed with children's book plus very nice staff. Come here to see a library full of love!
