The old Speicherstadt ("warehouse district") has the feel of a metropolitan Venice, the Landungsbrücken ("Jetties") have a scent of adventure and wanderlust about them. Hamburg is currently redeveloping a large area of disused docks, the HafenCity. This will expand the city centre by 40 percent and change the face of Hamburg dramatically. The city is also famous for the Reeperbahn, a street lined with hundreds of bars, strip clubs and musical theatres.
