The neon breathes and the pavement hums as a small group slips under the glow of the Reeperbahn — Hamburg’s notorious night artery where music clubs and back‑alley theaters press shoulder to shoulder. An English-speaking guide leads you into streets that change character with every doorway: one moment a battered pub singing sea shanties, the next a tucked-away theater staging late-night cabaret.
