Countless stars shine in and above the city during the Christmas season - experience Hamburg during the coziest time of the year.
Hamburg has some of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany. Whether historic, traditional or extraordinary - enjoy the very special atmosphere during Advent in the wintry Hanseatic city.
No longer an insider tip, but a must-see, is the historic Christmas market in front of Hamburg City Hall. Here, the flying Father Christmas, who makes children's eyes shine in anticipation, is a particular attraction. A very special Christmas world awaits visitors in the HafenCity. With the Wintergolf event, there is a new type of ice course - a winter experience ideal for families with children.
The Winter Pride in Hamburg's St. Georg district is queer and colourful. The largest Christmas market for the LGBTQIA+ community in northern Germany will delight everyone who likes party and entertainment. The special setting in front of the Binnenalster lake and the buildings of the city centre make a visit to the "White Magic" Christmas market on Jungfernstieg an unforgettable event. Here, visitors from all over the world can be enthralled by the light displays, the proximity to the water as well as the view of the radiant Alster christmas tree. Hamburg's most beautiful Christmas markets are always worth a visit.
It's easy to sweeten your anticipation with a shopping spree in one of Europe's most popular shopping metropolises. Hamburg convinces with a variety of shopping opportunities as well as the atmospheric ambience in the city decorated for Christmas. No matter what it is - along our streets, squares and shopping arcades - here really everyone will find the right gift ideas and Christmas presents for family, friends or for themselves. One highlight is the Hamburg Christmas Parade, which creates a Christmas atmosphere on the four Saturdays in Advent. The colourful, cheerful parade through Hamburg's city centre is an experience for the whole family.
In Hamburg you can also get into the festive spirit away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre with its Christmas markets. During a walk along the Elbe, winter unfolds its very own Christmas atmosphere. Enjoy the sight of the glittering façade of the Elbphilharmonie from the Landungsbrücken and marvel at the illuminated Christmas tree on the bow of the historic ship Rickmer Rickmers. But also every ferry and even the tugboats sail across the Elbe with their christmas trees and lights.
