Rotherbaum Walk (Self Guided), Hamburg, Germany

Rotherbaum Walk (Self Guided), Hamburg

Early in the 19th century Hamburg city center became heavily overcrowded and rich merchants moved away to build splendid mansions in the Rotherbaum district, part of which looks out over a vast artificial lake. This area is well worth a visit for everyone interested in seeing some of Hamburg鈥檚 finest architecture. There are, of course many modern buildings in the neighborhood, but you will see beautiful Gothic Revival villas and you shouldn鈥檛 miss the American Consulate, housed in a mansion built by master architect Martin Haller and known locally as the 鈥淲hite House of Hamburg鈥�.

There are a dozen or so very good museums and galleries in the area 鈥� the Zoologisches Museum is particularly interesting. There are two universities in the district so the many pubs and bars are full of lively students. The restaurants on the Milchstra脽e offer various menus from traditional German cooking to international fare.

Book lovers will be happy here because there are numerous book stores; there are also many small curio shops, including a second-hand toy shop, a Japanese gift shop and a great barber鈥檚 shop decked out in 50鈥檚 style with a moped in the middle of the shop and where you listen to good old rock鈥檔鈥檙oll while getting your hair cut. It鈥檚 worth a visit even if you don鈥檛 want a short back and sides!
