Description
Santa Pauli, at the heart of Hamburg's infamous St. Pauli district, is a Christmas market for all those who enjoy the mix of conventional Christmas tradition and red-light milieu. The Christmas market is complete with a street food market, and an erotics fair.
Mulled Wine, Angels, and Live Music
Next to the regular mulled wine and punch spot, you also get to see some hot angels at Santa Pauli strip tent. Live music and numerous booths make for a very particular atmosphere. Instead of “O Christmas Tree” you will find an “Oooh Christmas Tree” booth – and yes, this is an innuendo..
Extravagant goody bags, jewellery, and lingerie add an extra touch of eroticism to this rather unconventional Christmas market. But don't panic: if Santa Pauli doesn't warm you up enough, you can of course buy a typical knit cap. And in front of Hamburg's city hall, you can find a perfectly innocent, classic Christmas market as well.
