Best Bars in Altona, Hamburg
Harbour-side bars, brewery taprooms, multicultural energy — Hamburg's former-Danish neighbourhood.
Altona was a separate Danish city until 1937 — the most multicultural Hamburg neighbourhood, with a Portuguese heritage from sailor immigration in the 1960s. The bars combine harbour-side terraces with multicultural cafés and the city's most under-rated brewery taprooms.
