About this tour
This session walks Schanzenviertel's food stalls and small kitchens, a few blocks where several immigrant food cultures have settled since the 1970s. You see a grill counter and a row of mixed kitchens sitting side by side. Aylin explains the neighbourhood through the people cooking in it rather than the dishes alone.
The walk covers two stops at an unhurried pace, with Aylin answering questions about specific dishes and the neighbourhood's history as they come up.
This suits anyone interested in food as a way into a neighbourhood's story. It works well any time of day.
Included
- Live video session with a local guide
- A close look at the dishes and where locals buy them
- A short list of places and dishes to try later
Not included
- Food and drinks shown on camera
- Travel to the city

Grill counters 21 min
The camera stops at a small grill counter, and I explain how the dish served there traces back to the neighbourhood's Turkish community from the 1970s.
-
Mixed kitchens row 21 min
We walk a block where Vietnamese, Turkish and German kitchens sit side by side, and I point out which shopfronts have barely changed in decades.

Time to ask anything about Hamburg: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Rote Grütze (red berry pudding) and Speicherstadt / HafenCity, worth a slower look.

Questions about this tour
What will the session cover?

What happens if my connection drops?
Rejoin with the same link within a few minutes and the guide will catch you up on anything you missed.
Can I ask the guide questions during the session, or is it a fixed script?
Anything, any time. Sessions leave room for your own questions throughout, not just at the end.
Do I need to buy or cook anything?
No. This is a conversation: the guide describes the dishes and where to find them, so you can try them yourself whenever suits you.
