The Hamburg Fischmarkt: An Instructional Guide

One thing Hamburg is known for is the Sunday morning Fischmarkt. Every Sunday at 5am. The thing to do is to stay out all night on the Reeperbahn and then get breakfast there in the morning. It's one of those things I had to do before I left. So here's your guide to a successful Hamburg Fischmarkt visit.

Let me introduce you to my associates.

10PM- Begin the night with a falafel or doener.


11pm- Arrive on the Reeperbahn. Enjoy your freedom to drink on the streets.

12am- Go to a disco. Dance.

2am- Up your alcohol content at Lucky Star. A bar offering shots for less than a euro each.

3:30am- Take drunken pictures of yourself in the street.

3:35am- Go back to Disco. Dance.


4:45am- Take nap in disco.

5:00am- Refuel at a Turkish run restaurant.


5:45am- Walk to the Fischmarkt. Shop at the wide variety of stands outside, including a stand for giant stars. Don't worry, there's fish too.


6:30am- Go inside the Fischmarkt building and enjoy your last drink of the night/morning...


...or fall asleep at the table.


8:30am- Get home. Sleep.


I hope you've found this instructional and useful and that this guide will guide you in all your life endeavors.

Love the instruction manual, and it will become very useful since my layover is in Frankfurt. As far as trusting me about the states, don't. I was highly intoxicated at the time since that was the only path of survival.

I shall put a copy of your instructional manual in the instructional handbook I have created for my staff.
