Hamburg in winter! Frosty, but beautiful.

Too beautiful to stay at home

In the cold season, Hamburg is transformed into a picturesque backdrop. The low sun bathes the city in a very special light, ice floes slide along the Elbphilharmonie concert hall towards the harbour and, if you're lucky, you can skate a few laps on the Alster. But Hamburg also has a lot to offer in winter apart from the perfect winter days. Whether it's a winter shopping spree in the city centre or on the Schanze, a hot drink or an entire winter menu in Hamburg's thriving gastronomic scene, a leisurely winter walk with a view of the water or a visit to one of the numerous cultural institutions - there's plenty to experience in Hamburg in winter too.
