New year's eve with children in hamburg: where is the best place for families to celebrate the end of the year?

In the beautiful Hanseatic city of Hamburg you can of course contest the end of the New Year’s Eve. The whole city is on its feet on New Year’s Eve, great fireworks, which are particularly beautifully reflected in the Elbe and Alster, a great atmosphere. Horns and bugles are really impressive. The fireworks at the Landungsbrücken are of course particularly impressive and atmospheric, but not necessarily an insider tip. Experience has shown that it gets very crowded and crowded there. So if you don’t want to move around with a lot of drunk people with your children, you better avoid the area. Incidentally, the Elbe tunnel is closed for security reasons.

With older children there is a musical, a walk on the Elbe, with smaller ones, oh, just read our top 7 New Year’s tips for families with children in Hamburg!

Watch fireworks on the Alster

The New Year’s fireworks display in Hamburg is a must! With its waters and great houses, Hamburg simply offers the perfect backdrop for atmospheric fireworks. If you want to avoid the crowds at the jetties, we recommend the fireworks on the Alster. It won’t be empty there either, but it’s much more relaxed there. If you can’t hold out until midnight: even before midnight, party-goers gather here for a chat and a chat. The Kennedy and Lombards Bridge are good meeting places for New Year’s Eve on the Alster.

Alternatively, it is nice on the Elbe beach. There is a beach feeling all year round and the atmosphere is particularly relaxed.

Ice skating in the Hamburg ice arena

The open-air ice rink in Planten and Blomen is a great experience for adults and Children. Gliding over the ice in the open air is not only fun, but also very relaxing. And, of course, that shouldn’t be neglected, the fresh air makes children tired and may make them fall asleep early on New Year’s Eve.

Skates from size 24 can be hired on site, baby walkers are also available.

Info: On New Year’s Eve, the ice arena is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m..

Have the rollercoaster deliver the food to the Rollercoaster Restaurant

Now it is getting a bit weird, in the truest sense of the word, because the food comes here to you by roller coaster. The Schwerelos Rollercoaster Restaurant itself is a fun experience: food and drinks are brought on rails that crisscross the room. There is a lot to be amazed at and to look at, not only for the children. The location in old Palm storage is impressive. And on New Year’s Eve there is a big family party. I don’t know now whether we would absolutely go there without children, but it is definitely fun with children. Especially since there is so much to amaze the kids that you can come and eat in peace.

What families with children get here on New Year’s Eve? Three-course menu, special children’s menu, New Year’s Eve Sparklers Express.
