Piercing Hamburg’s notoriously gray skies, the Elbphilharmonie’s roof evokes sails or waves, perfectly symbolizing the city’s maritime heritage and modern spirit. As a landmark blending history and innovation, visiting the Elbphilharmonie is essential for anyone exploring Hamburg.

As one of Germany’s three city-states, Hamburg is a fantastic destination all year round. And while some tourists are reasonably wary of the cold weather, many people visit Hamburg in winter to see how gorgeous the city looks beneath the snow and ice.

After sundown, picturesque Hamburg comes to life with light shows, concerts, and bustling bars for your perfect romantic or summer evening. Whether you’re going headlong into the drag scene in St. Pauli or catching a cabaret at Pulverfass, there are plenty of parties to pack. While Hamburg’s drinking and dining scene continues into the wee hours of the morning, there are secluded places to escape. Experience the illuminated harbor shimmering over the water on a night cruise, or seek solace and angel sculptures in the peaceful Ohlsdorf cemetery. Here are our favorite 10 fun things to do in Hamburg at night.

Hamburg, one of the largest cities in Northern Germany, is full of experiences and great things to do at any time of the year.

From the children's programming inside the fairytale ships to a weekly parade that circles the bustling markets, Hamburg at Christmastime is sure to delight the entire family.
