Alsterarkaden

Stroll under the arcades and enjoy the Mediterranean atmosphere and exclusive shops. Hungry? Then don't miss the Arabian cuisine at Saliba. In the old Mellin arcade — Hamburg's oldest shopping arcade today — leading to the Neuer Wall, you can admire the ceiling paintings and stained glass from the turn of the 20th century. To relax, just sit on the steps by the canal, feed the swans, watch the canal steamers at the locks, or walk along the canal to the Elbe.

Derbe & Support

The makers of the Derbe label equipped the classical, wind and weather-defying jacket with the Hamburg coat of arms, gave it a brightly coloured exterior and a lining with a fish-head print, and since then the 'Derbe Friese' has been a long-distance runner, not only in Hamburg. All models of the snazzy raincoat for men and women are available in the Derbe store on Osterstaße in Eimsbüttel.

Eppendorf

Eppendorf is one of Hamburg's 'chic' districts. The shopping trip in Eppendorf is best started on one of the main streets: Eppendorfer Landstraße, Eppendorfer Weg, or Eppendorfer Baum. Cool and stylish fashion from Sweden can be found at the Grand Hotel of Sweden. At Linette, you will find current collections by Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Marni and Prada. In the quaint Kaffeerösterei Burg on Eppendorfer Weg, you can buy various types of freshly roasted coffee, as well as cocoa, teas, and chocolates.
