Hamburg around Christmas is a sight to behold! Christmas lights reflect off the waters of historic canals, while historic streets and buildings provide a magical setting for, officially, over 30 Christmas markets. Realistically however, the number is more like 19, with the one at Rathaus being the largest of them all!

The Rathausmarkt, also called Roncalli Christmas Market, is very well-known and the most popular of all Hamburg’s Christmas markets. It's located at the Rathaus square - the central square of Hamburg, home to Hamburg’s city hall, the Rathaus. The backdrop of the city hall, dating to the late 19th century, adds atmosphere to an already charming Christmas market.
The 80 or so market stalls are set out in neat rows in this traditional and historic Christmas market. Shopping stalls sell crafts like handmade toys, cooking-related tools, and Christmas decorations. Combined among the shopping stalls, food stalls sell all of the standard German Christmas market items: traditional food like bratwurst, various Christmas sweets, and, of course, hot drinks like hot chocolate and glühwein - for those who don't know, it's a traditional hot spiced wine.
This market is most attractive in the evening because the stalls are lit with colorful lights and so is the large Christmas tree. Well to be honest, it isn’t actually a tree; it’s a pole with long strings of white lights in the shape of a Christmas tree. Nevertheless, it contributes to the festive atmosphere.
The Rathaus Christmas market is also really popular because it features "Der Weihnachtsmann". Meaning, Santa Claus aka Father Christmas aka Der Weihnachtsmann shows up here everyday.
The Rathaus Christmas Market also features a vintage merry-go-round. I've been at Rathaus on numerous occasions in the past months and it's transformation now during Christmas is truly remarkable.
The Christmas markets are really popular amongst both the locals and tourists alike and the markets get really crowded in the evening. Not just that, but the crowd gets increasingly, let’s say “jolly”, as the evening progresses but overall the mood is nice and friendly.
Just 5 mins walk away from the Rathaus Christmas Market is the Jungfernstieg Christmas Market. Jungfernsteig market (German name: Weisserzauber, which means “white magic”) stretches along Jungfernstieg Boulevard, one side of Hamburg’s Binnenalster i.e. the Inner Alster.
The walk way at Jungfernsteig market is definitely wider and here you can actually enjoy the stroll better. Food stalls are plenty in number and I think there is more variety in terms of the things one can do here. For example, you can take a boat ride for a short tour around the lake. The water laps in the background and the buildings on the other two sides of the lake, reflecting in the water, add to the Christmassy atmosphere. There’s even a huge Christmas tree on the tiny island in the middle.
Actually, there are more Christmas markets in this area, the Gänsemarkt and other for example. It seemed to me that quite of few of these markets are local affairs, i.e. just an opportunity for the residents in a particular neighborhood to have a drink. Each was very small, and I got the impression these were meant more as neighborhood gathering spots than as public markets.
Take my word for it: you’ll walk more than you planned to and the stalls - even for food or drink - generally don’t have seating. Even those that do have seats generally don’t have many, so you’ll end up doing all of your eating or drinking standing or leaning. So, wear comfortable shoes and also keep an eye on the weather and dress warmly enough as you'll be outside all the time and it can get chilled really quickly.
