Treppenviertel Blankenese

Treppenviertel Blankenese is a charming historic district of Hamburg, known for its winding streets and steep staircases of some 5,000 steps. The former fishing village impresses with its 'Mediterranean' atmosphere of white houses and breathtaking views of the Elbe River.

As you wander along the scenic trails, you'll feel like you're in another world. The area offers great walking trails for people of all ages and fitness levels. After exploring, relax in one of the local cafes, enjoying regional cuisine.

You'll take the best photos in the early morning or late afternoon, when the light is most beautiful and the crowds of tourists are smaller.
