Take an S-Bahn to Blankenese and get lost in the 'stairs district' (Treppenviertel). A labyrinth of alleys and stairs that go down the hill to the river, with dream houses and a Mediterranean atmosphere.
Hamburgers may seem distant at first, it's part of Hanseatic culture. It is not coldness, but a form of respect and formality.
It is customary to leave a tip of between 5% and 10% in restaurants, or round up the bill, if the service has been good. Simply tell the total amount you want to pay to the waiter.
The tap water is of excellent quality and can be drunk without any problem.
The area is safe, but at night it attracts all kinds of people. Keep an eye on your belongings, don't get carried away by scammers and avoid side streets if you're alone. Herbertstraße is only for men over 18 years old.
As in any big city, beware of pickpockets in busy places such as the central station, Fischmarkt or public transport.
