A date is a way to explore a person β a guide is a way to explore a place. Ulf Pape, culture editor at GQ magazine, matches the two in Hamburg. Play your dating cards as safe as you like: sightseeing or seeing each other naked in a spa?
Dining or getting more drinks than food? Boat rowing β or a different kind of moves in a club? There is room to explore everything: in the end of a date, a room in a hotel is the best way to explore anything and anyone. The outcome is certain. Here is your Hamburg date guide. I'm convinced that dating is something that should be full of creativity, lust, and awareness for what you want and don't want.
Show who you are with the choice of the location for your date. Don't go to regular places. A perfect place to start a first date is in the middle of the port of Hamburg. You meet at the entrance to the historic Elbe tunnel, take the elevator down, marvel at the beautiful tunnel from , cross the river underneath it, and then reach a viewpoint on the other side that offers an incredible view of Hamburg's harbour.
There is no kiosk or anything like that around. Bring your own drinks and see whether your date really is a match. If not, you can both just head back through the tunnel and go your own way.
If it feels like a match, enjoy the unexpected view, walk back through the tunnel holding hands, and then hit one of the many bars or restaurants in the St. Pauli district. Now they run a restaurant with a Latin American cuisine, which is inspired by street food they had on their journey. Here you decide for one of the menus. They have at least six courses which will guarantee a long time to get to know each other.
