Hamburg

Berlin might have a more world-famous nightlife, but Germany’s second city is most certainly not lacking in great places to drink. In Hamburg it’s not so much a case of what you drink as where you drink, with each area of the city boasting its own unique atmosphere and style. The Reeperbahn is bursting with excellent bars, although it may be a little touristy. While St Pauli is stag party heaven, if your tastes are a little more sophisticated then head to Karoviertel for a more relaxed vibe and a creative cocktail.
