For the boundaries of the district, provide either street boundaries or commonly understood neighborhood boundaries.
Also include any background or historical info particular to the district (e.g., it's the traditional Italian neighborhood, it's a business district mostly shut down at night, it's a slum, whatever). Try not to duplicate too much information that already exists in the huge city page. You don't need to mention the airport location, for example.
Blankenese is a suburban quarter in the western part of Germany's second-biggest city Hamburg. It is considered to be a wealthy suburb - as of 2013, the average household income in Blankenese was three times as high as in Hamburg in total.
Get in
[edit]Hamburg airport is 30-60 minutes away by car (heavily depending on traffic) or 1 hour 20 minutes by S-Bahn (commuter railway, line S1). The S-Bahn ticket costs 3.30 € (as of 2019), and the train passes central station and Altona (another traffic hub within Hamburg).
The nearest autobahn exit is the A7 exit Othmarschen; from there it's 15-20 minutes by car to Blankenese.
When using national trains that stop in either Hamburg central station or in Hamburg-Altona, the city train S1 in direction of Wedel stops in Blankenese. Bus lines 1, 22, 112, 189 and 286 stop in Blankenese.
See
[edit]- Blankenese has about 1.3 km of beach along the Elbe river. The most popular spots are west and east of the junction Strandweg/Falkensteiner Weg/Falkensteiner Ufer. The west spot has two shipwrecks which are popular photo spots.
- The Treppenviertel (quarter of stairs) is a neighbourhood that slopes down to the river and consists of small, pittoresque houses within a labyrinth of stairs a few narrow, wound streets.

Do
[edit]Due to a lack of classic tourist attractions Blankenese is a district for walks, mainly along the Elbe river or through the Treppenviertel. With kids, take a walk through the Hirschpark (deer park) which is a partially forested park with a deer pen in the middle.
Buy
[edit]The travellers' dirty secret: we like souvenirs. What would be good to buy in this district? Local crafts? How about general shopping -- clothes, travel equipment, other? If there's nothing in particular, leave this section out.
Eat
[edit]For restaurant listings and other food-related stuff. Mention any local specialties or oddities. Specific restaurant listings should be in the format below. Also, give a general idea of good areas or streets of the district to try for finding a restaurant on one's own. Some travellers like (or have) to make their own food -- include local food-shopping options if possible. If there are a lot of restaurants -- more than 7+/-2, say -- break this section up into different subsections based on price ("Budget", "Mid-range", "Splurge"). If not, just list the restaurants.
Drink
[edit]For bars, clubs, and other nightlife. Yes, many people go out to clubs and don't drink; the name of the section is still Drink. Mention any local specialties or oddities, and give a general idea of good areas or streets in the district to try. Good things to mention: dress code, entrance fees, safety concerns, solo-woman friendly or pick-up bar, good/bad nights).

Other good info to include is high/low season, the importance of reservation, things to request (quiet room, view, airport pick up, etc.).'
Connect
[edit]Information on communications -- phone, Internet, other. This is where you'd list Internet cafés or computer rental centers for staying in touch by email or on the Web.

Long-distance telephone centers, where travelers can pay to make long-distance telephone calls, would be useful here, too.
