Marché de Noël - Stadthöfe

The Marché de Noël at Hamburg's Stadthöfe brings authentic French Christmas charm to the heart of the city's shopping district. This elegant Christmas market transforms the historic Bleichenhof courtyard into a festive wonderland with distinctive copper-domed round bars, cozy fur-covered seating, and warm wood chip flooring that creates an intimate, upscale atmosphere unlike any other Hamburg market. Spanning approximately 1,000 square meters, the market features three distinct areas: the main Marché de Noël in Bleichenhof, Chez Noël in the Palaishof, and Petit Noël in the Hotel TORTUE's Treppenhof. Visitors can savor French-inspired specialties including authentic raclette, flammkuchen, and crêpes alongside German winemaker's mulled wine in red, white, and rosé varieties from Rheinhessen. The market's covered nativity tables provide shelter from winter weather, while elegant copper mugs add a touch of sophistication to the traditional Glühwein experience. Live music performances enliven the atmosphere on Fridays and Saturdays, featuring acts like the JC Gospel Choir and Jesse Grell Trio with their distinctive French accordion melodies. The market's central location makes it easily accessible via Große Bleichen, Stadthausbrücke, and Neuer Wall, perfect for combining with shopping along the prestigious Neuer Wall. Arrive early on weekends to secure the best seating near the heated areas and enjoy the full musical program.
