What makes Hamburg's Town Hall market special?
The market focuses on handcrafted goods, with around 80 stalls, a toy lane of carved wooden pieces, a historic carousel and wind quartet performances. Three times a night, at 4pm, 6pm and 8pm, Santa and his reindeer fly over the crowd on wires. It runs on renewable energy and serves organic glühwein from a single Palatinate winemaker.
How do you visit by chauffeur?
The Rathausmarkt is in the city centre, close to the Jungfernstieg and the Alster. Your chauffeur will stop nearby and wait or return at an agreed time. From Hamburg Airport, the drive takes around 25 to 30 minutes.
