Know Before You Go

  • Hours: Monday–Saturday: 11:00–22:00; Sunday: 11:00–20:00; December 24: until 14:00.

Tips & Advice

  • Avoid 22 November, 25 December and 26 December, because the whole market is closed on those three days.
  • If you want the Südermarkt stalls, go by 23 December, because only Holm, Große Straße and Nordermarkt stay open until the 30th.
  • On Christmas Eve, come in the morning or around midday, because the market closes early that afternoon.
  • Add a stroll along the harbour or the Flensburg Fjord, which are both easy to reach on foot from the market lanes in the old town.
