What you'll see
A broad street of neon signs, theatres, music clubs and late bars, with side streets that include the red-light district; quiet by day, packed on weekend nights.
A brief history
It began outside the city walls as the rope-makers' lane, where long ropes for ships were twisted; in the early 1960s, the Beatles played its clubs for months before they were famous, remembered at Beatles-Platz.
