No visit of Hamburg is complete without hitting the Reeperbahn, Hamburg's legendary nightlife mile, which is also home to one of Europe's biggest red light districts.

What to Expect at the Reeperbahn

The Reeperbahn is the most famous street in Hamburg; you'll find many great bars, restaurants, theatres, and clubs here, along with sex shops, sex museums, erotic theatres, and strip clubs.This eclectic mix makes the Reeperbahn an interesting and fascinating place to visit for travelers and locals alike; the district is the second most popular Hamburg attraction after the harbor. The Reeperbahn's buzzing nightlife scene attracts all kinds of visitors, from night owls and students, to theatergoers and tourists. 

Being one of Germany's major cities, Frankfurt offers a reasonably diverse club and bar scene, even though it doesn't quite reach Berlin's or Hamburg's standards.

There are scores of bars and restaurants all over the city. From the "traditional" apple wine bars in Alt-Sachsenhausen (not really recommended to my mind), the partly posh bars and restaurants in the Innenstadt (inner city) (check out the area around Goethehaus for a number of bars) to the more alternative bar scene in Bornheim or Bockenheim, the interested traveller can certainly find something for his/her personal taste. Unlike in England, there is no specific time when most bars close, many are open all night on weekends, but on a regular weekday a typical closing time will be 1.00 am - still, it is always possible to find a bar which will serve a beer until there is nobody left who wants one anymore.

DUSSELDORF

The Alstadt is the major nightlife center of Dusseldorf, so travelers who are interested in being right in the thick of the trendiest spots in town should head there.  The Alstadt is the area bordered by the Rhine on one side and by Konigsallee on the other.  Between these two spots are numerous bars and dance clubs.  Travelers often start at one end and work their way down throughout the night, enjoying the different ambience at each location.

There are plenty of places to dance in Dusseldorf, but the nightlife is really more of a drinking style.  There are far more bars than there are dance clubs.  Those looking to dance should make their way to Stahlwerk and / or Tor 3, which are the two top dance spots most frequently visited by travelers.  They are both open until six in the morning on weekends, making them a great place to cap off the night.
