A WINTER’S TALE

Proving that size isn’t everything, Hamburg’s Winter Pride is a queer Christmas market boasting only about a dozen stores but then they like to do things differently. Running from 26 November to 30 December ( except 24- 26 December), you’ll hear pop tracks rather than endless carols and there will be live entertainment at weekends. Gay bars can be found in the St Pauli area of the port city and there are plenty of museums, music venues and restaurants.
