The traditional Roncalli Christmas market takes place on the Rathausmarkt. Father Christmas flies over the heads of the amazed visitors three times a day in his sleigh pulled by reindeer. To the west of this, the “White Magic” market on the Jungfernstieg leads to the “Fairytale Gingerbread Village” on the G\u00e4nsemarkt. To the east, you will find the Christmas market at St Peter’s Church, the “Winter Forest” on Gerhart-Hauptmann-Platz and then the market in Spitalerstra\u00dfe with its brick-look stalls, which stretches all the way to the main railway station.<\/p>\n

The entire Ottenser Hauptstra\u00dfe between Altona station and Spritzenplatz is transformed into a colorful, lively and diverse Christmas market. There is plenty on offer for children: a carousel, puppet theater and Christmas music with Knickebein the witch. Many adults appreciate the culinary delights and drinks on offer. The Tallinn stand next to the Ottenser Torbogen near Spritzenplatz is very popular, where white mulled wine is served following an Estonian recipe.<\/p>\n

On the corner of Lange Reihe and Kirchenallee, St. Georg’s WINTERPRIDE – the market for queers and friends invites you to take a stroll. And on Spielbudenplatz in St. Pauli, “Santa Pauli – Hamburg’s hottest Christmas market” tests the boundaries between classic Christmas tradition and frivolous neighbourhood life. Also in St. Pauli: the cosy winter market right on the Elbe at “Strand Pauli” next to the Old Elbe Tunnel.<\/p>\n

Hamburg’s youngest district also has its own Christmas market on \u00dcberseeboulevard. Here, a winter mini golf course decorated with penguins and candy canes invites you to play, and at the public Christmas Calendar, the Christmas angels open a new door every day in December at 6 pm and hand out presents to the lucky ones among the visitors.<\/p>\n
