Why Reeperbahn matters

The Reeperbahn is the main street of St. Pauli, Hamburg's nightlife district. It has live-music clubs, theatres, bars and the legend of the early Beatles, who played here before they were famous. By day it is quieter, with little to see. Come in the evening and take care of your belongings.
