Hamburg celebrates the last Sunday open for shopping with art and culture!

A special event is on the agenda in Hamburg today, November 2nd, 2025: the fourth and last shopping Sunday of the year. Shops, boutiques and shopping centers in the city center and in 104 districts are open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. This not only offers a welcome opportunity to get the last gifts of the year, but also an interesting experience for many through art and culture.

Numerous events are planned under the motto “Art and culture – from the Elbe to the Alster” that invite you to linger and discover. In the Passagenviertel on Poststrasse, a jazz brass band provides musical entertainment, while Spitalerstrasse is enlivened with a mobile percussion show. A saxophonist will delight visitors to the Gänsemarkt with his sounds.

Cultural journey of discovery for the whole family

There are also many hands-on activities that are particularly suitable for families. In the Europa Passage, children can take part in face painting and skill games. An open studio awaits young visitors in the Bucerius Art Forum, while creative workshops are offered in the Westfield shopping center in which they can design their own jewelry from recycled plastic beads and candles. These family experiences are at the heart of this Sunday and are intended to help celebrate the city's culture.

The big crowd is expected: between 400,000 and 450,000 visitors are expected in Hamburg's city center and other districts. Shopping centers such as the Europa-Passage, the Überseeboulevard, the Alsterhaus, the Mercado Shopping Center, the Alstertal Shopping Center, the Elbe Shopping Center and the Hamburger Meile are just some of the hotspots that are worth a visit. And it's a good idea to plan your journey by public transport - this not only saves your nerves, but also the environment.

More than just shopping

The supporting program is just as diverse as the opportunities to rediscover the city. In addition to the shopping experience, it is important not to lose sight of the many small shops and owner-managed businesses in the districts. This means that the shopping Sunday also becomes a cultural journey of discovery through Hamburg, which certainly has something to offer for everyone.
