PLATTENRILLE

This incredible record shop, hidden in an inner courtyard of the charming Grindelviertel, is well known to Hamburg's music lovers. You can listen to all the records on turntables with headphones. Trombones, drums and trumpets hang from the ceiling. The two lovely old men who run the store sell thousands of vinyl records, but also second-hand CDs and tapes; it is one of the most well-stocked stores of its kind in Germany - and probably one of the most charming. A Hamburg institution since the 1980s.
