🎅🚀 Hamburg's Jet-Setting Christmas Festivities
Hey there! Fancy some early festive spirit? Then Hamburg's got you covered! ❄🏘️
Manfred Pluschies (70, a Christmas market maestro of over 50 years): "We might just be Germany's quickest Christmas market. People love our early November kick-off. It's not just Hamburg locals, but tourists in droves too! We're expecting over 125,000 revelers again!"
What's the big draw? Ambitious at 240 square meters, the market's eco-artificial ice rink. Skate away, or try your hand at curling. Bonus points if daycare centers or schools use it for free after registering!
Mix and munch authentic treats; juicy lard cookies, mulled wine, and Feuerzangenbowle are on the menu. For the youngsters, there's a giant carousel to spin and twirl.
Before you sail away, grab a crafty drink and a snack at Hamburg's harbor's "Strand Pauli" beach club. Cosy up over homemade mulled wine or apple punch in a warm indoor bar, or take your pick from a covered, wind-protected outdoor seating area. After all, who can resist a hearty sausage or juicy kale feast?
By (roughly) mid-November, the vibrant neighborhood of Santa Pauli on Reeperbahn is unwrapped.
