1. where is the most beautiful Christmas market in Hamburg?

Hamburg has many wonderful Christmas markets, each with its own charm. The historic Christmas market at the town hall is particularly popular, with its festive atmosphere and handmade gifts. If you prefer something more modern, you should visit the Winter Forest on Jungfernstieg, where lights and mulled wine make for a special experience right by the Alster. For those who prefer something more alternative, the Christmas market on St. Pauli with its colorful and somewhat different Christmas atmosphere is a cool insider tip. You can find many more Christmas markets in our Winter & Christmas category or in our Christmas market blog article.
