Weihnachtsmarkt HafenCity

The Weihnachtsmarkt HafenCity brings contemporary Christmas charm to Hamburg's modern waterfront district, just 800 meters from the historic City Hall. Set along the Überseeboulevard in the innovative HafenCity quarter, this market combines traditional holiday festivities with urban sophistication. The entire boulevard transforms into a festive wonderland with colorful lights, creating a unique atmosphere where modern architecture meets Christmas tradition. The market's standout attraction is its 13-lane winter golf course, featuring whimsical obstacles like nutcrackers, snowmen, gingerbread houses, and iglus that delight both children and adults. Visitors can warm up in the covered Christmas lounge while enjoying mulled wine, crêpes, and grilled specialties. The daily advent calendar lottery at 6 PM offers exciting prizes throughout December, while special events include a Nikolaus visit on December 6th and advent tastings on Saturdays. The festive atmosphere extends to a Christmas tree sale in early December, making this a complete holiday destination. With its blend of traditional Christmas market offerings and unique modern touches like winter golf, the HafenCity Christmas Market provides a refreshing alternative to Hamburg's more traditional markets. Plan to arrive early for winter golf sessions, which require advance booking through weihnachtshelden.de, especially for the popular weekend time slots.
