Forget the tourist traps, the cheap thrills and the bachelor parties. Under the flashing neon light of the Reeperbahn lies a wild, unpolished and deeply political district that has been fighting for its soul for decades. Discover the hidden duality of St. Pauli on this captivating walking tour. We trace its evolution from a rough seafaring hub to a gloomy incubator for rock 'n' roll legends and on to a modern battleground for housing rights and anti-fascist resistance.
