Hummerbuden
A row of brightly colored wooden huts along the inner harbor. Originally fishermen's sheds for storing lobster pots, they now house galleries, shops, and seafood stalls.
The Lobster Huts (Hummerbuden) line the southern side of the inner harbor in Lower Land. They were once wooden sheds where lobster fishermen stored their gear and traps. After the war, they were rebuilt and painted in vivid reds, yellows, blues, and greens, becoming the island's most photogenic street scene. Today the huts house art galleries, souvenir shops, cafés, and snack stands selling lobster and crab sandwiches, as well as a small exhibition room on the island's traditional fishing. Strolling here is free. The huts are close to the landing pier, so on a day trip you can browse here and enjoy some seafood after you come ashore.
