Santa Pauli — Christmas in the Kiez

Santa Pauli — Christmas in the Kiez

At Hamburg's naughtiest Christmas market, it's not only the mulled wine that gets the visitors hot. Live music, a fireplace lounge on the winter deck and a strip tent are a temptation to naughty and frivolous merriment on a Christmas market stroll on Spielbudenplatz. The market stays open late into the night, in keeping with its special location on the Reeperbahn. The most unbridled Christmas market of the lovely Hanseatic city not only guarantees conventional Christmas market stands, but also offers an open-air art gallery and Sunday children's programme — fun for young and old alike. For those who fancy mulled wine, the Winterdeck is the place to be. The cosy bar with a blazing fireplace provides visitors with the Christmas drinks they desire. The over-18s fir forest, set up in the manner of the Reeperbahn, offers strip shows as well as frivolous and crackling erotic readings.

Fleetinsel Christmas Market

Fleetinsel Christmas Market

Between Stadthausbrücke and Rödingsmarkt is a clever mixture of Hanseatic tradition and a modern attitude to life. The proximity to the harbour and the direct connection to the Alster lend the Fleet Christmas market a very special maritime atmosphere. The delicious Christmas specialities or a contemplative glass of mulled wine with friends or family can help you forget the hustle and bustle of the pre-Christmas season — in the peaceful tranquillity of a renovated square, without the street noise and glaring lights. Stands with gift items are also an invitation to take a stroll. Meanwhile, the younger visitors can have fun on the children's carousel.

New Year's Eve at the Waterfront

New Year's Eve at the Waterfront

Fireworks are great, but you know what is even greater — fireworks reflected in the water. You get double the visual punch, a huge variety of delicacies served from street food stalls, plus the jubilant holiday cheers from the celebrating crowds. The fireworks close to the Landungsbrücken are supported acoustically with the signal horns of all ships in the harbour. For a quieter atmosphere with less hustle and bustle head to the Alster. The inhabitants of Hamburg lighten up their own fireworks around the Inner and Outer Alster lakes. Another option for the turn of the year is a harbour tour which provides the perfect view over the fireworks from the waterfront.
