Believe it or not, the word Altona comes from the name of a tavern! The establishment in question was often called "all to nah" in Low German, meaning “much too close.” The reason being the tavern was stealing business from the nearby inns located in Hamburg which was a separate city in those days. Thus, according to legend, the name Altona was born. Whatever the actual origins of this district’s name may be, one thing is certain, Hamburg-Altona is diverse. This goes both for its inhabitants as well as for what it offers. The district has everything from the beloved riverwalk along the Elbe and adjoining parks to hip bars and restaurants, to small boutiques and large chains, to old buildings and modern lofts. There are many furnished interim apartments on offer here as well.
Altona is comprised of Altona-Nord, Altona-Altstadt, the very popular Ottensen, and the newly established Neue Mitte-Altona. Each of these residential areas has its own character and environment. The Mitte-Altona district will be expanded substantially in the coming years once the long-distance train station has been relocated from Altona Station to Diebsteich Station.

Transportation / getting around

If you’re staying in the neighborhood, a bicycle is very useful on the winding, often one-way streets. Hamburg has many stations for call bikes (Stadtrad), a very cost-effective alternative! A bicycle will get you to many places quickly, for instance the Altonaer Balkon a popular park with a great view of the harbor and the river.
Elbe River and Fishmarkt
Officially, the Altona district reaches all the way to the Elbe, even if it does feel a lot like St. Pauli near the water. If your Saturday night doesn’t end until Sunday morning, it is worth visiting the famous Fishmarkt. Starting at 5 o’clock in the morning (7 o’clock in winter), market criers entertain partygoers and tourists. Fish, fruit, vegetables, plants and clothes change hands with great to-do. The Fishmarkt is a great starting point for those who like to sleep in as well! The historic fish auction building with the Elbe in the background is a lovely sight. In both summer and winter, you can stroll west down the riverwalk promenade to the Elbstrand, a popular sandy beach. Many cafés, restaurants and beach clubs are located along this riverside promenade.
