About
Stray away from the open spaces and crowds of people and you will quickly find yourself in midst of some of the hidden wonders of Hamburg when we strive through the small streets north of the “Nordelbe” River and into this urban jungle. Every turn and every corner presents itself with surprising moments and endless opportunities for interesting street photography. Discover an inspiring walk outside the more touristic areas of town as we wander through artsy areas, cute cafes, and get a scent of the ancient pirate feeling when we stop for a drink in one of many seafarer’s taverns.
