Ratsmühlendamm with kids

At Ratsmühlendamm, families can browse private stalls, trader rows and food stands at the late-riser flea market from April to October on the first Saturday of the month, from 11 am to 4 pm. Children often find toys, picture books and small treasures from the flea-market stock there. Alongside it, a regular weekly market with fruit, vegetables, meat, cheese, flowers and snack stands shapes the square.

Families enjoy the market as a relaxed weekend stop with a fish sandwich or crêpes. Seasonal festivals, neighborhood events and music events keep adding to the mix. The atmosphere is neighborly and manageable, and the square is completely flat, making it stroller-friendly.

Well connected by S-Bahn Ohlsdorf and bus lines. The direct proximity to the Alster makes a short walk to the water an obvious extension.
