Cheekily known as 'The Sinful Mile', The Reeperbahn hosts a dazzling spectrum of bars, clubs and adult entertainment venues, making it a top area for Hamburg's nightlife. Take a stroll through the trendy district of St. Pauli and you'll soon see why thousands of locals and tourists flock here for a night out on its cobbled streets.

Once a hub for the production of sailing ropes, this vibrant patch continues to grow in size and popularity. The neon-lit clubs were once a local haunt for The Beatles. They performed in the bars here so often in the '60s that a memorial square nearby was created in their honour. Some of the clubs are still open to this day, most notably Kaiserkeller and Moondoo.

There's plenty more than meets the eye to the infamous party mile, though. Cast your eyes away from the bright lights and you'll find world-class cuisines in trendy eateries, listed buildings and even an art gallery. It's even got its own festival, where budding musicians hit the stage for a weekend of sing-alongs, dancing, and of course, beer.
