When is the time for making wishes? And granting them, of course. You'll find our Wish Trees at five locations around the Old Town Island. Write down your Christmas wish and hang it on the tree, or see what other people have wished for. Tip: The better you write, the better your chances.

Find the Wish Trees here:

• At the tourist information at Holstentor
• on the Schrangen
• at the corner of Breite Straße and Dr Julius-Leber-Straße
• at Drehbrückenplatz
• St. Jacob´s churchyard

Illuminated tree by the Grand Old Ferry

There is a very special tree on Kleine Burgstraße. It is brightly lit, changes colour and tells fairy tales. And it looks forward to your visit. Because people don't like to tell fairy tales alone.
