Visitors are greeted with a maritime atmosphere at the Fleetinsel Christmas market, located only a short walk away from Hamburg's landmark St. Michael's Church. This ‘island’ in between the Alster and Elbe rivers makes for a small and cosy Christmas market, where you can sip mulled wine, taste various delicacies and admire the two historic ships moored nearby.

After an exploration of historic Speicherstadt, the HafenCity Christmas market at Überseequartier is an excellent location to regain some strength  and body temperature. Here, modern architecture meets old-fashioned winter cheer with plenty of food, drink and gift stalls to choose from. The themed minigolf course provides extra Christmas joy!
