Hey! I have problems, finding supermarkets in a district of a city, using area. I found an example (https://github.com/mapbox/mapping/wiki/Overpass-Guide) which gives me all mountain peaks in the dolomites and tried to adapt it to my needs. Problem is: I can find my desired city (Hamburg) with place=city, but i´m not able to find districts, using borough, suburb or quarter or whatever. I would be so glad, if somebody could help me out! I´m pretty new to this whole thing, and i just want to find supermarkets in districts of hamburg. Maybe ther is even a way better approach? This is my code so far:

*/
[out:json];

area
  [place=city]
  ["name"="Hamburg"];
out body;
// query part
node
  [shop=supermarket]
  (area);
out body;
// outline
relation
  [place=city]
  ["name"="Hamburg"];
>;
out skel qt;

Thank you guys so much! Cheers

Try the Overpass Turbo wizard, type "shop=supermarket in Hamburg" without the quotes in the wizard , zoom to see Hamburg on the map, build query and run query.

Hey nevw, thanks for the quick response first of all! Problem is: I want to query a search for a specific district in hamburg. The code I posted above does search for supermarkets in hamburg, but i want to specify that and search only in various districts. I tried using place=district, place=borough and so on (every entry i found in the wiki for place=) but it just doesn´t work. So any help on that end would be greatly appreciated!

Can you name an example for such a district?

sorry, I don't know the area but this works fine and is suburb? "shop=supermarket in Altona-Altstadt"
I would expect that you could extract those listed here https://wambachers-osm.website/boundaries/

Thanks for the help! I solved the problem using part of the wizard´s code to specify the searching area like this:

(area[admin_level=9]["name"="Eimsbüttel"][boundary=administrative]->.boundaryarea;)
