DOGS AWARD

Hamburg became the carrier of DOGS AWARD. For Germany, this award goes to cities where four-legged friends feel free and comfortable to the greatest extent.

The DOGS AWARD was given to those cities that have created the best conditions for dogs. This year he was awarded Hamburg. The city on the Elbe deserves this award because the concern for dogs is more visible here than in any other German city.


Everything for dogs

In Hamburg there are 120 green meadows specially designated for the run of 40,000 dogs that are officially registered in the Hanseatic city. And in such places, the four-legged friends can romp around without muzzle and leash. The large hiking route with dogs is also set up on the unique shores of the Ausenalster Lake. The length is 7.4 kilometers.

The decision to reward Hamburg with the DOGS AWARD was also influenced by the fact that pet owners pay a relatively low tax in the city. At the same time, there is a large selection of veterinary practices and beauty salons for dogs in Hamburg.

Port of Hamburg with a dog

Hamburg's Hafenviertel is a bustling shopping district that has been the heart of the city's wealth and economic prosperity for centuries. It's also a great place for a grand tour with your dog.

Hamburg is one of the largest cities in Germany and is nicknamed the "Gateway of the World". Thanks to the country's largest port, it was named the richest metropolis and media center in Germany. Proximity to the sea has had a strong influence on the city and the imprint can be seen in the architecture, the menu and the streets of the metropolis.

Here you will find Hamburg's newest attraction, the 4-kilometre-long Kohlbrandbrucke, which spans the Elbe and connects it to the rest of the city. Take a walk with your four-legged friend along the Hafenrand Promenade, the walking path around the harbor that leads from Messberg to the fish market to the famous Lagersviertel. This historic part of the Port of Hamburg is known as the Speicherstadt, which is the largest warehouse complex in the world. Its impressive 19th-century Gothic buildings are built of red brick and continue to hold secrets of the treasures.

St. Pauli in Hamburg with a dog

St. Pauli in Hamburg used to make ropes for ships, but today we have completely different priorities. Here is the Reeperbahn, one of the most famous red-light districts outside of Amsterdam, which is also gaining tourist attraction status.

Why not see Hamburg life from the inside? Curious visitors mix with locals and workers here. After dark, the Reeperbahn turns into a sprawling beehive, where almost all of the city's nightlife is concentrated. Hamburg is a hard working city and the people of Hamburg enjoy resting after a day of work.

Admire the beauty with your dog!
