Product Info

-What you can expect-
Join a very special guided tour with a night watchman through St. Pauli. With lots of humor and sailor's charm, your night watchman will tell you how the largest amusement and red-light district in Europe was created between the districts Millerntor and Altona. Look forward to seeing the streets Große Freiheit and Reeperbahn as well as the famous police station Davidwache. The St. Pauli night watchman will share funny and bizarre stories of everyday life in the red-light district in an entertaining way and will answer all the questions you never dared to ask before.

On the old, well-trodden 'sailor's route', you can walk from St. Pauli Piers (Landungsbrücken) up to the world-famous Reeperbahn in just a few minutes. Then, you will visit the historic bar 'Ritze' (drink not included), and find out what a sobering up in the police station Davidwache costs. You'll learn whether women are allowed to visit Herbertstraße and how prostitutes used to be punished in Hamburg.
