Local before arrival
The Isemarkt in posh Eppendorf is known as Hamburg’s most atmospheric farmers’ market. Situated under the old subway bridge, you can enjoy some fresh air without getting wet on rainy days. Fruit, veggies, and flowers from the region, fresh fish, artisanal cheeses from France, homemade pasta, organic bread—it’s a heaven for foodies. Elegant upper-class wives love to do their shopping here. Don’t miss Bonbon Pingel, a Hamburg institution selling sweets by the penny.
