    Well, the fishmarket is not what it used to be. It is a big market and lots of people, mainly tourists are there, but fish is not much sold on the market anymore. Fruits, flowers, cheese and more are sold nowadays.

    There is also a fleamarket, food stalls and lots of music and fun.

    The fishmarket exists since 1703. It starts every Sunday in summer at 5 an din winter at 7 o'clock.

    Fischmarkt: Sunday morning outing.

    Hamburg fischmarkt, Sunday
    morning.

    The fish market held on a Sunday morning must be high on visitors lists of things to do.

    The actual produce markets are very good (fish naturally being the speciality, although there is a lot of fuit and veg as well), although there is a lot of tat sold in common with most markets.

    The highlight, however, is the old fish auction building itself (a very impressive structure). The place is packed with people eating and drinking, and when were there, there was even a live pop band playing.

    There is the odd slightly troublesome drunk about, although the security guards soon get rid of them.

    It's a good way to finish off a hard Saturday night's partying in Hamburg.

    Free entrance.

    The best way to begin Sunday morning? Going to the Fischmarkt at 7am (5am in Summer!) to have a good Hanseatic breakfast walking along the street markets or listening to some rock-band playing inside the old Fishmarkt building!
    A bit touristy, we have to admit, but it's really a unique experience, seeing so many people waking up in early morning to go there and continue Hamburg's nightlife also after dawn!

    Hamburg is known amongst young people for its nightlife.
    Numerous clubs and bars line whole streets in the downtown area and parties often spill over into the daylight hours.
    This leaves a large group of tired and hungry people that may or may not be ready to go home, these are some of the fish markets unlikely early customers.
    As the sun comes up over the citys mighty harbour, it casts its first rays onto the waterside open market where local merchants sell fish, but also all manners of fresh produce. At one end of the market there stands a large three story warehouse which is home to a restaurant, a stage and a lot of small food stands.
    Here the party continues for some, and just gets started for others with a live band and breakfast.

    Early Sunday morning is the time to visit here, between 6 and 10 is when the action takes place! Traders selling their wares, not just fish, just about anything is on offer. There is a band playing in the Fischmarkt hall and of course there is food and beer available too. Many of the crowd were on their way home from Saturday partying I think.

    Unmissable experience this one, unique.

    We went along at about 05.30am to be confronted by masses of people milling about a huge continental market with literally hundreds of stalls, selling all kinds of stuff, from fresh produce, to tacky souveniers, to clothes, and even some Fish.

    Although mostly outside it's centred around a hall which i assume used to be the original Fish Market, in the hall food vendors do a roaring trade dishing out Fruhstuck(Breakfast) to a lively crowd, some still tanking gallons of beer from the previous nights partying.

    There are stages at either end of this hall where bands/musicians belt out songs to the masses, who show their pleasure by dancing around like dafties, quality stuff.

    Apparently its all finished by 10am, some old tradition for not letting the fish market get in the way of attending church. We had to head at about 8am to catch our flight home though.

    After 3 hours sleep on Friday night and a whole day exploring Lubeck on Friday and Bremen on Saturday, we were rather exhausted by Sunday morning. However, having read great things about the Fischmarkt, I was determined to get there early to see some of it. The market begins very early - at 5 am I believe - and runs until about approximately 10am. However, as the clocks were going forward this Sunday so we only got there towards the end.

    Despite its name, there is far more than fish on sale at the Fischmarkt. When we arrived, the fruit sellers were offering whole boxes of fruit for 1 Euro...if only we had a car. My favourite section was the indoor area at the western end of the market, where there was a folk band entertaining the crowd. The people here were knocking back beers like it was a Saturday night rather than a Sunday morning. I was tempted to join them but we had a whole day of sightseeing ahead of us...

    FISHMARKET!!!! Do I have to say more. It's wold famous. It's happening every sunday from 5 am to 11 am. You better be there early. We wanted to be there at 5am, but we didn't make it. We arrived at about 9 am, but it was still awesome.
    They offer everything there (not only fish). You get flowers (from Holland), sweets (also from Holland I guess), italian salami and cheese....and so on. But the main attraction is not the goods, but the people who sell them. They scream, and wave with their hands and feet and will try to underbid the seller next to them.
    No Hamburg visit is complete without a visit to the fishmarket.

    There's more than just fish sold here. Plants, flowers, pets, and of course, fish are sold on Sunday mornings.
