The Hamburg DOM – Northern Germany’s biggest and oldest outdoor fair

Going back 800 years and drawing about 9 million visitors every year, the Hamburg DOM is one of the biggest, longest lasting and oldest outdoor fairs in the world. The fair is held three times a year and lasts four weeks on Heiligengeistfeld – an open space covering 160,000 sq.m and located in central Hamburg between the Altstadt, Rathaus and Reeperbahn, the Alster and the Elbe.

In spring, summer and winter, roundabouts, big wheels and firework displays, as well as switchbacks, booths and a wide range of food stalls, provide thrills and spills. For some years now, the fair has also offered changing highlights in a special theme area – from a medieval market to a witch es’ village to a “miracle of ice” show.
