The highlight of Berlin's winter: Christmas markets
From nostalgic to action-packed: Berlin has so many different Christmas markets that you're sure to find your favourite christmas market. Choose between Scandinavian or Japanese Christmas markets, Christmas markets with beautiful backdrops and markets with carnivals and rides. Or visit a Christmas market in any of Berlin's districts. Stroll along glamorously lit shopping streets while enjoying a break with mulled wine, punch and freshly baked waffles.
These Christmas markets open as winter markets before the season: These Christmas markets in Berlin open first.
And our calendar of events shows you what else is going on in Berlin on Christmas and in winter.
So Christmas can come!
We wish you a peaceful and reflective time.
