Italien Lifestyle

The Collonaden were built 1874 as a private investor’s project. The architecture of the street is worth seeing, many houses from the founding period are still present and give the street with its neo-Renaissance façade an upper-class flair. The architectural highlight is the arcade, which gave the street its name and spreads the Italian lifestyle.

Since then, the Collonaden have survived some ups and downs. Currently the Collonaden are in very good shape. The street presents itself as rejuvenated, attractive new stores complement the long-established highlights. A stroll though the street is highly recommended.

In the branch of the Hamburgpublisher and bookseller Zweitausendeins you will find a large selection of books, CDs and DVDs at special prices.

A stroll past the opera

Although the Collonaden lie close to the city centre, it is a lot more relaxed than for example the Mönckebergstraße. This does not just due to the fact that the Collonaden are a pedestrian zone. It’s the arcade, the street cafés and the many small specialist stores that contribute to the quite atmosphere.  

The Collonaden connect the Jungfernstieg with the Stephansplatz and Dammtorbahnhof that lies behind it. They are the quickest route from the city centre to the park Planten un Blomen. Another beautiful access to the Collonaden is from the Gänsemarkt through the Gänsemarkt-Passage. In the centre of the street a small crossing makes a sort of a piazza. Here, directly by the huge property of the Hamburgischen Staatsoper, one can take a break in one of the many cafés and coffee shops. From here it is only a few steps to Neuen Jungfernstieg and to the Binnenalster.
