Nightlife
Hamburg’s friendly, open vibe has made the city a favourite destination for LGBTQIA+ visitors. The local scene is most lively in the quarters St. Georg and St. Pauli where you’ll find plenty of gay-friendly locations. Below we've given you a head start with some of our favourite LGBTQIA+ spots in Hamburg.
St. Georg
Located next to Core Station, St. Georg is an excellent place to start your Hamburg excursion. The quarter’s centre of the action is Lange Reihe, along which you'll uncover loud and proud gay bars next to cosy cafés, restaurants and shops flying the rainbow flag. For delectable home-made cakes in a chic interior, visit Café Gnosa. A couple of doors down, you'll find Cafe Uhrlaub, where you can drop in for German-style breakfasts and boiling meals any time of night. Order a gin & tonic in a cosy booth at M&V Bar, or go for cocktails in the dimly-lit setting of Kyti Voo. Along Danziger Straße, you'll find literature, clothing and erotic paraphernalia at Bruno’s and good company in Bellini Bar.

'Live and let live' is a typical philosophy in Hamburg. Open-mindedness and tolerance are written big in this city, which is why the gay scene feels very welcome here.

About Hamburg and its gay life
The Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg – Germany's ›Gateway to the World‹ – is the second largest city in Germany after Berlin, and also an independent state. It is located about km southeast of the North Sea along the river Elbe and has the largest seaport in Germany. Because of the port, the pent-up river Alster and the numerous canals and smaller rivers Hamburg is one of the cities in Europe with the most bridges.
