Holiday breaks
Hamburg spring break: family trips from Hamburg
The KMK holiday calendar lists Hamburg's school holidays with inclusive first and last days. Hamburg's 29 January holiday is a single day, not a week off. The two-week spring break, 1–12 March, is the example here. These are Hamburg state dates, not national German dates; check your own school.

What to weigh
- Hamburg's March spring break comes earlier than Easter-based breaks in most other German states.
- The seven-day example is editable; change month and days in the tool for other breaks.
- The shortlist is ranked on modelled cost only; it does not filter by flight time, direct service, weather or entry rules. Check those yourself.
- The budget is an editable illustration in local currency for a family of four, not a typical, recommended or guaranteed amount.
