Good to know
The Historischer Weihnachtsmarkt on the Rathausmarkt stands right in front of Hamburg City Hall and is run by Roncalli. In 2026 it is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., from November 23 to December 23. Among about 80 stalls, themed alleys offer handicrafts, wood carvings and Christmas decorations, and the toy alley sells toys from around the world. For children, the highlights are the historic carousel and the flying Santa Claus. Every day at 4, 6 and 8 p.m., Santa glides over the market grounds in a sleigh with reindeer, telling the story of Rudolph the reindeer along the way. Except on Saturdays, a brass quartet plays Christmas tunes every day. On the Saturdays of Advent, the Christmas parade moves through the nearby Mönckebergstraße at 2 and 5 p.m. The market offers vegetarian and vegan dishes, and dogs are welcome. Toilets, for which a fee is charged, are located in the Rathauspassage.
