Flensburg Christmas Market

The tradition on the Flensburg Fjord will continue this year: The Flensburg Christmas Market opens its doors from 25 November to 31 December 2024 and invites you to a special winter experience in the old town. With festive lights and Nordic-inspired huts, the centre of the port city is transformed into an atmospheric Christmas world. A touch of hygge pervades the pedestrian zone, where handicrafts and culinary specialities are on offer in the pretty stalls between Südermarkt and Nordermarkt.

The festive opening of the Christmas market will take place on Monday, 25 November at 17:00 on the picturesque Südermarkt. The impressive Christmas pyramid, the market's Advent landmark, will once again take centre stage. Visitors gather here in a convivial atmosphere to celebrate the start of the Christmas season together with prominent guests from politics and society, Father Christmas and his helpers. A special highlight is the ceremonial illumination of the magnificent Südermarkt fir tree, accompanied by a countdown, which gives the official starting signal for the Christmas hustle and bustle.

The charming Scandinavian huts on the Südermarkt, including the ‘smallest bar in the world’ with the legendary Tallin punch and the witch's house, invite you to linger and enjoy. As usual, the festively decorated ‘Hyggemeile’ stretches from Südermarkt via Holm and Große Straße to Nordermarkt. This year, the new‘Winter Hygge’ creates a very special Christmas atmosphere. Families can look forward to a varied programme, while children can design their own Christmas decorations during creative craft activities.Walking acts provide lively entertainment, transforming the alleyways into a magical Christmas world - an experience that will delight young and old alike.

The musical programme is just as varied: the shanty choir ‘Die Hornblower’ brings maritime sounds to the festive atmosphere, while the Norder Pop Choir presents modern and classic Christmas carols. There will also be many other musical highlights to provide an atmospheric backdrop.

A special attraction for the little ones is the children's wish tree, where children can leave their Christmas wishes. Meanwhile, adults can look forward to culinary delights prepared with love and creativity by Green Kitchen.

The tourist information centre at Nikolaistraße 8 also offers special services: There is free shopping and luggage storage as well as the popular Father Christmas post office. Until 15 December, children have the opportunity to post their self-designed letters and wish lists in the Christmas post box - a reply is guaranteed and a special wish will be granted among all entries.

Free parking and shopping without long journeys! This option is available again this year with the well-known Flensticket from the Exe car park. Visitors can conveniently buy the Flensticket cashless with a debit or credit card at the ticket machine at the ‘Kleine Exe’ exit and board the bus a few metres further on at the P+R Exe stop on the 10 or 11 line (every 10 minutes). The ticket costs EUR 1.50 and is valid all day for a maximum of five people.

If, in addition to strolling through Flensburg city centre, you would also like to experience the varied and diverse culture of the hygge port city, you are sure to dream on the popular Christmas city tours ‘Fru Hansen und die Weihnachtswelt’ and ‘Weihnachten, Wichtel & Kostenbarkeiten’.
