There are places that feel like a little journey - even when you're right in the city. The new Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier is just such a place: cosmopolitan, elegant, situated directly by the water - and anything but ordinary
In the heart of HafenCity, just a stroll from the Elbe, a new quarter has emerged that intertwines shopping, architecture, culinary delights, and culture in a unique way. Those looking to discover Hamburg's modern side will find a place here that invites not only shopping but also strolling, discovering - and savoring.
Architecture Meets Atmosphere
The first impression makes it clear: the Überseequartier is not a traditional shopping center. Rather, it feels like a small city within the city - intersected by boulevards, waterways, and spacious squares that evoke Copenhagen or Vancouver more than an indoor mall.
Fourteen buildings - some glass, some red brick - cluster around a walkable center, through which a fresh breeze from the harbor often flows. Inside and out, boundaries blur. It smells of the sea, fresh coffee, and new possibilities.
Between Labels and Favorite Finds
Whether fashion or fine food, classics or newcomers; the Überseequartier brings together a curated mix of international brands and Hamburg concepts. Included are labels like Breuninger, Zara, Arket, Mango, and H&M Home, as well as smaller stores with handpicked selections and a North German touch. Those looking for new sneakers, the perfect souvenir, or a design piece with soul will find it here.
And yes, the (inner) child isn't neglected either - such as in the new LEGO® Discovery Centre, offering around 3,000 m² of space for imagination.
Culinary Delights with a View
Of course, between two floors of fashion, culinary offerings shouldn't be missing - and this is where the Überseequartier shows its special strength. Over 40 restaurants, bars, and cafés invite you to linger - sometimes directly on the waterfront, sometimes amidst bustling activity.
From a quick flat white to local specialties to fine dining, everything is possible here. Recommendation for gourmets: a stroll through the international food concepts along the "Gastro-Boulevard."
And for those who prefer to decide spontaneously, just follow your nose—it rarely leads you astray here.
Cinema, Culture & Contour
Shopping, yes - but not only. The Westfield Hamburg-Überseequartier also offers space for culture, cinema, and small everyday escapes.
A state-of-the-art multiplex cinema with ten screens, changing art exhibitions, events on the water, or simply a glass of wine at sunset - here, leisure, everyday life, and experience blend into a successful mix. And those who just want to stroll, without a destination or schedule, will find paths here that are worthwhile.
Sustainably Designed, Urbanly Executed
It's almost a given that a place like this was planned with the future in mind: green roofs, cutting-edge energy concepts, e-mobility offerings, and perfect connections to trains, buses, and even the harbor ferry make the quarter not only smart but also likable.
And for those who value conscious consumption: many of the stores and restaurateurs focus on fair fashion, regional ingredients, and transparent supply chains.
A Place That Endures
Perhaps that's exactly what makes the Westfield so special: it doesn't feel like a must-see, but like a spontaneous find. A place where you stay longer than planned, where you're surprised - by the view of the Elbe, by the last shop on the left, by the feeling that you've just arrived in a whole new Hamburg.
So, if you're wondering what to do after breakfast at the east: here awaits a piece of the future—with foresight, the sound of waves, and plenty of inspiration.
