Things to Do in Altona-Altstadt, Hamburg

Hamburg's old western city, rebuilt after wartime destruction along the Elbe above the fish market. The Sunday Fischmarkt and dock infrastructure keep the waterfront rough-edged, while the Altona Museum, Jewish cemetery, and cafés around Große Bergstraße recall an independent port town absorbed by Hamburg only in 1938.
