Jungfernstieg

  Jungfernstieg sits prominently at the edge of Hamburg's picturesque Inner Alster Lake. Dating back to the 19th century, this iconic promenade was originally designed as a landing area for noblewomen, hence its name, which translates to "Maiden's Walk" in English. Today, Jungfernstieg serves as a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and leisurely strolls, featuring numerous boutiques and cafés along its waterfront. If you visit in December, you can enjoy the festive Christmas market that transforms the area into a winter wonderland. As you explore, catch views of the Alster fountains and the stunning architecture that surrounds this bustling locale.
