Weather for Hamburg

Best time to visit:

Being located high in the north of Germany, Hamburg has a temperate climate with particularly cold winters. The weather is warmest between May and October, which consequently marks the main tourist season. However, with a busy events calendar, there’s nearly always something happening in Hamburg year-round. For those who enjoy the cold, Christmas is a picturesque and atmospheric time in the city, with large fairs and quite often snow, and the chance to skate on the city’s frozen lakes.
