More than 340 participating shops in the city centre, the CITTI park and the Förde Park invite you to stroll, browse, try and buy on this Sunday opening from 1 pm to 6 pm. The retail trade presents its wide range from the summer season. Your shopping is rounded off by numerous stands who know exactly how to inspire shoppers with delicacies such as bratwurst, etc, as well as with arts and crafts stands.

Surrounded by the historical backdrop of the magnificent castle, Prince Christoph zu Schleswig-Holstein opens the festively decorated castle to visitors and invites you to a special Christmas experience on all four Advent weekends. Both the castle courtyard and the castle transform into a fairy-tale Christmas market to completely enchant visitors.

On all four Advent weekends, the Glücksburg Castle becomes a fairy-tale. A romantic market, built within the glimmering courtyard with a gingerbread house and a singing Christmas tree as highlights. The Glücksburg fairy-tale Christmas is a treat for all the senses. The shining roofs of the huts, the radiant trees and the romantic alleyways make this Christmas market at Glücksburg Castle a very special place to be. 

In addition to traditional and new Christmas decorations and regional crafts, there is also a wide, culinary offer filled with local specialities and delicacies from all over the world. Visitors will find an extensive supporting programme that will awaken “Christmas memories”!

Sailors with historic ships "occupy" the port of Flensburg.

For several weeks in the summer, the Flensburg Hofkultur, the special summer festival, transforms the old merchants’ and crafts centres of the inner city into a stage. There are open-air concerts, theatre, cabaret and film shows. Going back to their roots: as this is where different cultures came together in historical times. Not only did Danish and German come together into the same space, but sailing ships and international trade connections also brought the scent of the whole world into the city. Here were the smells of the Caribbean (rum), of coffee (Africa), of Asia (spices) or also sometimes – strictly Nordic – of whale and herring.
