Welcome to the
Hamburg Christmas Market

Fly to Hamburg with:

Discover history, tradition and a Hanseatic heritage at one of Hamburg's many wonderful Christmas markets.

The prettiest is set just outside Hamburg's most impressive town hall. Hosted by Roncalli's Circus, you can discover lots of lovingly decorated stalls and the punch is even served by clowns and circus artistes.

Fly to Hamburg with:

The Hamburg Town Hall Christmas Market is filled with hand-crafted Christmas decorations from the Erzgebirge region and looked after by woodcarvers from Tyrol, bakers form Aachen (producing their famous “printen” cookies on the scene) or gingerbread makers from Nuremberg and the pottery is made by artists from the Lausitz region. Silversmiths and many other artisans and craftsmen from all over Germany invite you to marvel, join in, taste or simply enjoy this fantastic atmosphere in Hamburg.

Old-fashioned carousels bring a gleam to everyone's eyes, not just the children's. Hamburg has so much to offer during the festive season: you can enjoy a mug of glühwein on a lake Alster boat tour or you could visit a Christmas exhibition in one of the city's museums.

There is a Christmas parade through the festively decorated city centre every Saturday during Advent. It's a magical time for young and old alike in Hamburg's theatres or on a 'fairytale ship' anchored along the Jungfernstieg promenade.

Every day at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm Santa Claus will be flying his reindeer sleigh up to the sky high above the roofs of the Christmas Market cottages telling the story of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

A visit to Hamburg in the run-up to Christmas is something you'll never forget!

Discover Hamburg

The Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg is Germany’s second largest metropolis and has one of Europe’s largest ports.

Hamburg’s role as an international centre is reflected in the elegance of its merchants’ villas and boulevards, the international musicals staged there, the luxurious shopping arcades and the St. Pauli district. The Reeperbahn in the St. Pauli district is where the Beatles shot to fame in the 1960s, it is Hamburg's top entertainment quarter.

On the other hand, Hamburg's city centre is the only one in Germany situated on the shores of a lake, the Alster. The Outer Alster, the larger part of the lake at 160 hectares, is a paradise for sailors and rowers.

For many, the old town is Hamburg's main attraction. It takes visitors back to the time when rich merchants made their fortune
with coffee, tea and spices, on Cremon street, for example, with its famous Chile House. Or on Deichstrasse, an old mercantile street
lined with warehouses and residential buildings from the 17th to the 19th century.

An other huge attraction for Hamburg is the Speicherstadt. The 100-year-old Speicherstadt is the world's largest warehouse complex, it is a very pretty place, not at all the kind of place visitors would expect to find in an international port. Within the walls of Hamburg's warehouse district, covering an area of 4,000m², this miniature world is open to visitors 365 days a year. There are 15,000 metres of tracks, ensuring that the 15,000 HO carriages reach their destination. 5,000 houses and bridges, 250,000
trees and 250,000 individual figures have also been used in the
creation of this gigantic set.

No visit to Hamburg is complete without a boat tour of the port, which departs from the Landungsbrücken quayside. From here it's just a stone's throw to the Old Elbe Tunnel, an eye-catching domed building whose four huge elevators have been transporting pedestrians and vehicles almost 24 metres underground since 1911.

There is a taste of far away places throughout the city, even in the little canals and waterways of the old warehouse district.
